The amazing UK site, Spot the Tiger, asks a different heated question every week, provides arguments for both sides, and publishes the poll results. More importantly, it chooses a guest artist every week to illustrate the issue. Really fun site to pore through.
Ohhh, so good. I’m always trying to find things to replace ribbon! Wrapping’s easy, I’m a big fan of kraft paper, or chinese newspaper, or free corbis posters. But ribbon’s the tough part — I always want to seal everything off with gorgeous, expensive, grosgrain ribbon. No more! Not with this How About Orange tutorial for making recycled magazine bows.
And this tutorial for making the same bows out of felt, may be even better.
I love this sweet book that Brooke of inchmark journal designed for her grandmother’s 90th birthday. Also check out the awesome invites and favors here.

Shameless self indulgence: This is our new 10-week-old puppy, Mister. The photos were taken by the lovely Sharon Montrose, who gets to spend her days hanging out with things like piles of puppies and baby deer. Luckiest woman alive.
Nice.

I love paper engineering, I LOVE a good pop-up. This is not only an awesome pop-up, but a terrific and heart-warming ad for Langara College’s Rethink Scholarship. Kudos.
These Pebble Pots are such a great idea. They’re so pretty and it’d be fun to create the simple stone mosaics. Add these to the list of things I’ll probably never actually do.
I’ve been doing a lot of corporate brochure design lately, and it’s really easy to lose inspiration. Here are a few good collections of interesting brochure designs to glance through if you’ve ever got the brochure blahs.
