FRIDAY INSPIRATION

Short and sweet today... I came across this quote the other day, and knew I wanted to turn it into a poster.

PERIODIC TABLE GREETING CARDS

Instead of doing actual work I am always looking for inspiration from other designers, design blogs, stationary and card shops, etsy, etc. and today I came across this really cute idea from an invitation/stationary company... periodic table greeting cards!

The shop owner sells them individually with matching envelopes, but I think these cards would look adorable with matching brown envelopes, in a gift set, wrapped up with a bow.

I copied these messages from the originals, but since they are made up elements, it could be very cute and easy to come up with other greeting card expressions.

THE QUICKEST INVITATION EVER MADE

My sister's coworker Candace, is throwing a baby shower for her sister-in-law Nicole. Now I have never met either of these ladies before, but I am never one to turn down anyone interested in my services talents.

There might be some "Melissa Gorga vs. Terissa Gudice" type of tension going on... but from what I know, Nicole took forever providing the guest list to Candace... thus giving me, less than 2 hours to design an invitation.

Luckily for them both, I am a professional... and a hugeeeee fan of the housewives.

WINE NOT

I came across these little gems believe it or not in a gift shop at a casino in Atlantic City. And if you know me, you know I spend quiteeeeeeee a lot of time at casinos in Atlantic City, so this is not that obscure... or hard to believe... just a little embarrassing to admit.

Anyways these little signs were like $9.99 each, and while I had no interest in actually purchasing them, I found the little saying adorable. I knew I wanted to remember them so I took a picture to save for a rainy day... such as today. So here is a little rainy day artwork to brighten your day... or if your me (and have to attend a happy hour with colleagues) a little positive reinforcement.

HELLO SEPTEMBER

Anyone else feel like summer just flew right by? Thrilled that fall (my favorite season) is right around the corner, I'm shocked its already September! What the hell happened to summer?! While I sit and ponder what the heck I have been doing/or lack there of all summer long, I leave you with a great way to start the month off right, a clean calendar.

As a continual blog project, Each month I will post a new calendar that I have designed. Feel free to print it out if you like.

HAPPY HOUR IS FROM 4 to 6!

Cady: "Is there alcohol in this?"

Mrs. George: " Oh god, no, honey, what kind of a mother do you think I am? 
Why, do you want some? Because if you're gonna drink, Id rather you do it in the house."

In honor of Hump Day (...and Mean Girls) here are some fun cocktail prints. 
I found the original design inspiration from an artist on Etsy, and felt inspired to create 
my own cocktails! 

...Drinks anyone?

I LOVE HUE

I have been pretty busy at work these past few days and have neglected my poor little bloggy. I'm sorry babe, I still love you.

This week I plan on getting back on track and have a bunch of great projects I am excited to post, including my first DIY craft! I can't wait to share!! In the meantime, while I slave away over a stupid 86 page booklet (on its 10th round of revisions)... I leave you with a little "graphic design humor". Man, am I a nerd or what.
