Everyone loves Free!

As a designer, I am always looking for cheap ways to spice things up. Enter Briarpress.org. Originally shared by Design Freebies (which ALWAYS has such fun, cute free treats), Briar Press has a ton of adorable free ornaments for you to download. Some of my favorites are below. Enjoy!!

Austin Goodness

So, although I am really, really, really late for the event (um, like a year late) I thought this poster was beautifully designed and worth sharing. (And the event was sponsored by the wonderful GOOD magazine, which I enjoy.) Hoorah for good design!

I Heart Orange Beautiful

Girl Crush alert! Or it it a paper crush? I dunno... All I know is that I am in love with every beautiful thing in this shop, and their creator, Emily, is a super smartie-pants. Right? Right. I think in this day and age of impersonal communication (um, email anyone...), it is more important than ever to continue the traditions of written correspondence, and even more important to mark occasions and organize yourself with as much panache as possible. Emily and Orange Beautiful make it easy! Please visit her website (Orangebeautiful.com), her delightful blog (The Scoop), and enjoy some of her paper goodies blow (all available at her Etsy shop here.)

I am even in love with her website design- so jealous!

Yummy Bunny!

Here is a big fat dose of precious to enjoy- I heart Bunnies! And Fridays! Happy Weekend Everyone!
