new era.

so i know this really has nothing to do with design...but i think these commercials are so funny! i love john krasinski <3


have a good weekend!

starbucks.

i saw this neat gift card holder idea the other day on pinterest...and you can actually make it yourself! very cute!

graduate.

this is a card a friend asked me to make for his sister who was graduating! unfortunately, things have been super busy for me this past week and i didn't get a chance to get a better photograph before i gave it to him...so sorry about the bad photograph!

oh and can i just tell you how much i would love to be here right now? maybe next year...

origami.

i saw this stop motion piece recently and thought it was really well done! it was created for the may ipad issue of martha stewart living - very nice! i found it here!

mother's day.

nuts and bolts.

so my friend ms and i both saw this diy project awhile ago...and finally got around to making them the other night. and if i do say so myself, they turned out awesome! we saw this hex nut bracelet on pinterest...all you need are some different colored strings (we used heavy duty yarn) and some hex bolts from the hardware store. i personally don't look good in gold, so i went with the standard silver color...but ms decided to buy some that were gold colored and they looked pretty sweet as well! here is where we found the instructions ---- here! they were super simple to make (as long as you know how to braid) the only part that took me a little bit of time was to get the nuts to stay nice and tight, but once you figure it out you can breeze through it the next time! below are some pics of the ones i made...i am very excited to wear them!

sherwin williams part II.

i posted about the sherwin-williams ads awhile ago, but just the other day I saw this commercial on tv and i actually like it better than the print ads! i especially love the beginning of the commercial with the balloons...just thought this was a good extension to the print ads!

and these are two that i actually hadn't seen on tv...but found while looking for the first ad! also nice, but i think the first is my favorite.
