Take Me To Your Heart

This week’s pick makes me think of the 80′s. Bright colors, slightly crazy, a lot of fun. Whips, taming… Well, you get the idea. ;-) And because the 80′s brought a lot of good music, too, let’s rock to:

Take me to your heart, never let me go
If you knew what I’m feelin’, you would not say no
Take me to your heart, never let me go
For your love, for your love is all I need to know

Just because… *cracks whip* …it’s fun to tame someone’s heart. :D

May Your Bed Never Be Cold

Pick of the Week: January 16 – 22

Valentine’s Day is less than a month away so this week’s pick brings you Kitten Valentine. We think it has enough “cute”, the perfect balance between  “sweet” and “artistic”, and the right amount of Valentine spirit.

In case you wonder why the title, watch this short video (although it’s not a song this time). May your bed never be cold, both on Valentine’s Day and throughout the whole year. :-)

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Pick of the Week: January 02 – 08

We’ve decided to change our Pick of the Day to Pick of the Week as our schedules have gotten more busy recently. So from now on, we want to regularly feature only one design a week, with the possibility of random Picks of the Day whenever we find more designs worth posting throughout one week. You can keep submitting your designs of course. :)

This week’s design is this amazing vintage roses notepad. Who says that you have to write your ideas down on a plain slip of paper? The brilliance of your thoughts will definitely stand out even more when you record them on paper with a beautiful design. Be it amazing plans for your business or thoughtful lyrics like Poison’s:

Every rose has its thorn
Just like every night has its dawn
Just like every cowboy sings his sad, sad song
Every rose has its thorn.

Don’t be afraid to make bold plans for 2012!

Vacation Photos

Did you spend your Christmas in Aruba? Jamaica? Bermuda? Bahamas? (Lucky you! Next year take me with you!) Are you coming back from your holiday break with a glowing tan, refreshed and ready to face the new year? Show off those amazing beach holiday photos with this bright, fun summer beach photo album!

I Won’t Let Go

This Vintage Peacock & Etchings design is a perfect pick for all the love birds who want to send out their wedding invitations in classy and elegant envelopes. After all, if you feel like taking the plunge, why not do it in style? ;-)

And remember, there are bound to be rainy days but you should just grit your teeth and say: “I won’t let go.” :-)

Flowers We Are

This colorful intricate design deserves a very special piece of music – calm, peaceful, relaxing and just as delicate as the tulips. I present you this composition by Yiruma so that both your eyes and ears rest a little and enjoy the beauty that art brings us, be it a poster or a song.  ;-)

Antonio’s Spring

This vintage poster made me think of Antonio and Italy.

I hear you asking: “Who’s Antonio?” Antonio Lucio Vivaldi of course. Italian composer.  His Le quattro stagioni: La primavera or The Four Seasons: Spring is an amazing piece of music and it goes perfectly with today’s design. Flowers, birds… Immaculate spring atmosphere, don’t you think?

Pretty Woman

Roy Orbison’s Pretty Woman was the first song that came to my mind when I was looking at this design.

Both the song and the artwork have that “retro” quality that’s hard to find these days. They bring you the feeling of “good ol’ times” when music and art were true, genuine, fun and damn good. Let’s all vote for pretty girls, great music and designs. ;-)
