breathless

This takes my breath away.

I have been so busy recently and stressed because I feel behind in almost every aspect of my life. When I saw this on Design Mom this morning I stopped for a few minutes to fully appreciate it and I could feel it lift me up.

I hope it lifts you up too.

february?

I have no idea how it is already February 6th. But it is. Which puts us 8 days away from Valentine's day. Some people think it's corporate nonsense, other people think it's irritating and couply. I think it's nice to have an excuse to say "I love you!" And to do it with paper? Even better.

I bought this kit from Paper Source to use with my daughter. Did you know that exchanging valentines now starts in preschool? The kids have no idea what's going on but I'm on board if I get to help her glue hearts and sparkly things onto paper.

FUN!

helveticards

Check out these playing cards featuring helvetica. They were designed by Ryan Myers and you can find them here.

The best present ever for a type nerd! It's not a hint, I'm just stating a fact.

calendars - patterns

If typography and nature aren't for you, take a look at these gorgeous illustrated pattern calendars. Yum.

This is from Linda & Harriet. I love the patterns and the simplified color palette. Very pretty.

These are from Smock Paper. I adore the bright colors. Delicious!
