Gettin' Vivid in Nica

My sister is traveling with the Duke University School of Nursing in Nicaragua for 2 weeks and posted some lovely pictures from her trip so far. They're doing amazing work in the community providing basic health care and thorough checkups while getting credit for their clinical requirements. Keep up with their travels here: Two Weeks In Nicaragua.

In the meantime, let's get vivid:

Recent Inspiration: Pantone's Fall 2011 Color Trend Report

The Jump-Off

Beautiful jump-off point for designing today. Came across these beautiful digital files of graphic patterns available for purchase on Lilly Bimble's etsy shop.

{Endless color combinations=endless design inspiration.}

She offers many different paper sizes, clipart items, overlays, collage sheets and stamps--perfect for the professional designer, scrapbook hobbyist, or crafter. The best part is that she includes the commercial license---just make sure you don't redistribute the files directly. The designs must be incorporated into your own original work.

Although purchasing the individual design packs is affordable (prices range from about $1.50-$6.00), she offers a bulk option for 10 paper packs and/or clip art sets for $29.95.

Can't wait to get my files! Thanks Lilly!

Hello World!

studio9:05-The Design Inspiration Files.

studio9:05 offers a focused collection of originally designed stationery and gifts. As we move through each day, we are inspired by a multitude of things within our surroundings: color combinations (on clothing/print ads/magazine pages/commercials/artwork/houses/etc), audio snippets from the radio, featured posts on fellow blogs, and so on. The Design Inspiration Files will serve as a tracker for all of the things that get our creative juices flowing!

Currently, we are a wee-bit obsessed with our new issue of Stationery Trends Magazine, can't you tell?
