I lost a fair amount of email with my hosting issues last week. Thanks!

{Baby} Pick of the Day #7: Invited Ink

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

I admit I have a weakness for square cards, so finding this one from Invited Ink was really exciting. I love that it’s feminine and delicate while still rocking some serious sophisticated style.

21 New Additions

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Today brings us 21 new additions to the directory and I have about 25 more to add this week.

When I began this blog in September, I launched with about 150 listings. In, what, 7 months, the directory has doubled. While most of the studios were just flying under my radar, several of them are brand new businesses. It’s exciting to see the letterpress revival grow and get the attention it so deserves.

{Baby} Pick of the Day #6: Megan Creates

Tuesday, April 10th, 2007

Today’s goodness comes from the ever-awesome Megan creates. Like many of the designers showcased here, it was hard to choose just one design for today. I think I’ll post more at the end of the month because there’s just so much great design you just gotta see.

{Baby} Pick of the Day #5: Artnoose

Monday, April 9th, 2007

Now, this is definitely an underserviced niche in the baby stationery market: adoptions. Leave it to the fabulously talented artnoose to create a cheerful, hand-inked adoption announcement.

{Baby} Pick of the Day #4: Starshaped Press

Sunday, April 8th, 2007

From this announcement’s description at Starshaped Press: “…we appropriated and retooled the image to create the perfect social realist family.”

How could I possibly NOT love this design? Very clever, Starshaped. Very clever.
