Turn Treasured T-shirts into a Memorable Quilt

via Luxury Housing Trends by MarinaHanes on 9/27/10

Remember the t-shirt you got from that awesome rock concert years back? Well, even though you might not wear those memorable t-shirts from college, it doesn't mean they have to sit in your closet and rot. Bring them back to life!

The Campus Quilt Company creates custom t-shirt quilts made from your memorable fabrics. So whatever you own, t-shirts, sweatshirts, socks, hats, baby outfits, etc., can be turned into a treasured blanket.

Within two to three weeks, you can have a lasting gift. Since the quilting is done on a commercial quilting machine, the blanket is professionally constructed and will keep your memories all together for a long time to come. This service was featured on The Rachael Ray Show and NBC's Today Show, because a t-shirt quilt is a great gift for yourself or a loved one.

Smock Design Contest Winners

via Paper Crave by kristen on 9/2/10

I'm honored to have been asked to be the guest judge for the most recent Smock Paper Design Contest. The contest is a semi-annual celebration of Smock's favorite retailer customizations, and this time around I had the chance to choose my favorites, too. Let me tell you, it was very difficult to pick my top three because there were so many lovely letterpress creations, and I'm so excited to be able to share the winners with you! And now, without further ado…

First Place : Salutations in Charlotte, NC

This invitation suite is simply gorgeous —delicate, romantic, and oh so elegant. I absolutely love the palette, which is subdued and very nicely balanced, making this a design that would appeal to both men and women. And the patterned pocket fold presentation really makes this suite special. I would feel like I had just received a lovely gift if I received an invitation to this wedding.

1st Runner Up : Luxe Expressions in Atlanta, GA

This letterpress invitation is so vibrant and fun, perfect for an '80s themed celebration. The design is versatile and could be used for so many different types of occasions, but I love it as a 40^th birthday party invite. The message it sends is, "I'm turning 40, I am completely fabulous, and you are going to have an absolute blast at my party!"

2nd Runner Up : Judy Paulen Designs at Bloomingdale's in Manhattan

This suite oozes class without being staid, and the fantastic color choices and patterns give it a very modern feel. I love the playfulness of the language on the reply postcard and rehearsal card, too. And the incredible, colorful patterned envelope liner is a detail that just had to put this invitation in my top three.

You can see more images of the winners and get more details and information about the individual suites over at Smock's blog. Thank you, Smock, for the opportunity, and congratulations to the winners!

Brittney Lee Paper Sculpture & Illustration

via Paper Crave by kristen on 9/8/10

It was love at first sight when I spotted the work of Bay Area based artist and animator, Brittney Lee. How absolutely sweet are her birdie mini prints (above)? I'm seriously coveting all of them. But I'm equally amazed, if not more so, by her paper sculptures. The ornate works of art are absolutely stunning, and I can't get over all of the little details featured in each piece. Amazing, amazing stuff! See more of Brittney's paper sculpture and illustration work on her blog, and purchase prints of her artwork in her Etsy shop.
