Create a book

I saw these over on the Bluelines blog and had all types of ideas. These blank board books are perfect for all types of projects. Let me share a few...

#1 You could uses these to make wonderful childrens books. You can incorporate little ones in the creation of the story and cut out your own pictures.
#2 You can use these little books to be the basis of a baby shower design. Incorporate the party theme and create a lovely little story that can lead up to the shower invite on the last page.
#3 You can use them as an activity at a birthday party allowing kids to make their own story creation to share with their parents.
#4 You could use them for a party centerpiece for a children's birthday party. I would think the book could feature the number of the year the child is.

There are plenty of ideas and these are just a few to get you started. This is such a great weekend craft everyone can enjoy.

Lovely and Letterpressed

I was visiting the blog Black White Bliss and fell in love with these wonderfully creative and totally chic letterpress buckles and thought this was such a stylish and innovative way to wrap a gift. Also if you're looking to do a gift theme for any celebration these letterpressed buckles would be a perfect detail to your decor.

New Love #4: Marimekko

I'll admit Marimekko isn't a new love either. It's more of an ongoing crush. I love their patterns the bold pops of color and while I've always loved the patterns, my new love is their wonderful office supplies. All these lovely things can do is add a little flair to drab cubicle walls of cream, gray or brown tones.

This Unikko notebook is perfect for all great ideas.



If you want to stick to the Unikko pattern style, think about this mousepad in its circle shape.



Store these Marimekko greeting cards at your desk when you need to say a quick thank you, happy birthday or just to say hello.
