Keep Calm And Carry On Poster Generator

Happy Friday! Where did this week, and January for that matter, go? Here's something fun for you, your very own Keep Calm poster generator. Choose your quote, color, and image {or just use the default crown image} and it will generate your  poster for you. I want to use some for Valentine's day cards! I need to come up with some better lines, though...

Ringtones

{photo}

Yesterday I figured out how to make ringtones for my phone,

now that it can play actual music and not just the tonal beeps my old phone used to have.

You just upload any song to makeownringtone.com and

choose the part you'd like as a ringtone

{it usually has to be under 15 seconds, otherwise it says it's too big of a file}.

You save it as an MP3,

send it to your phone {or use a memory card adapter like we have}

and you have as many free, customized ringtones you could ever want.

Now Fireflies by Owl City plays when I get a text,

I Belong to You by Muse plays when Franco calls me,

All The Right Moves by OneRepublic plays when my family calls me,

and all the other calls play Fidelity by Regina Spektor.

And I'm not going to stop there!

I love the internet; you can find anything on there.

Can I Just Say...WOW?

These are amazing...I never would have dreamt to do something like this for my wedding invitations. These are surreal! Good job, Jessica!

Contains Valuable Document--Download

A free download for you today, brought to you by 16 sparrows. I wish I were that creative.

Ruche

These clothes look like they're from Anthropologie, right? Well, look again.

They're found at Ruche, an online boutique without the boutique prices! These items are a few of my favorites...especially the shoes. Ooooh, the shoes.

Today...

...I will try my hand in sewing one of these for Cate. {Hope she doesn't see this before 7 pm--the time of her baby shower--tonight!}

I have spent about 4 hours at work perusing the very creative, very inspirational IS*LY blog. Warning: Conducive to hopeless addiction.

My New Portfolio Website

www.acastrejondesign.com

My finished website is up! Funny how I say it's "finished" because once I upload it to the web I find like 10 other things to add/change...well, it's "finished" for now, anyway.

Tell me what you think!

Mini

Another time-waster! Miniature-ize your photos with Tilt-shiftmaker. It's kind of hard to tell on these, but if anything it gives them some cool effects. These are some of my favorites...they're mostly pictures taken on my family trip to Cancun a few years ago. The second to last one is a view from the Eiffel Tower. The only picture I didn't take was the last one of Italy.

Got the site from How About Orange

New business cards I designed for my office~ $10 for 100 cards

Thanks to my design schooling I was provided quite a valuable resource by the name of overnightprints.com. I've used this resource numerous times to order inexpensive business cards, self-inking stamps, and other products. Today I received an email with a link to their website where they're offering tons of free products {you just pay for shipping}. The deadline is May 24th at midnight, but I've already ordered a self-inking stamp with our name & address for only $8.71 {saved $12}. You can order free business cards, postcards, bookmarks, magnets, and oh so many more. I can design anything for you if you'd like in the future~ they actually have promotions like these all the time. Just another way to save!

Great Ideas

I have so much trouble finding gifts for people. I almost always end up procrastinating so long that I get them the lamest thing I can find. This article has solved my problems.
As suggested on Gnome Sweet Gnome. Thanks, Olivia!

Appreciate

Beautiful photography.

Make It Sew

I got this email from Urban today. They're up on what America is moving towards: handmade. Bring on the recession & get a sewing machine from UO! {If you can afford it.}

In The Mood For A Little Game

A couple of years ago, my design teacher showed us this website with the cutest internet games.
They're easy to play & I just love the way the characters are drawn. So original.

Creature Comforts

Hi, friends! I was browsing and found this cute site, http://creaturecomforts.typepad.com. There are occasional "freebie" downloads to make crafts and cards. This month's freebie download features Library Cards you can use as notes, event seating cards, etc. I love the library and am going to use them a lot!
