Pretty Paper in the Office: Desk Clocks

What time is it? It’s easy to tell nowadays as there’s always some sort of screen around with the time. Which may be why I don’t seem to have physical clocks. But as many of us are trying to set aside some time to unplug or do our work with our hands rather than with the computer, it may be nice to kick it old school with a desk clock. Here’s a round up of a few pretty faces that will let you know just how quickly your workday is flying by. (There’s even a dock for those of you who, like me, just can’t put the phone away.) –Julie

Raymond + Marc’s Modern Poster Birthday Party Invitations

Rebecca from Crafty Pie Press sent over these modern invitations designed for her nephews’ joint birthday party – the blue and green color palette is so perfect for teenage boys! Rebecca’s challenge was to create something cheerful without being overly childish. The resulting invitation features a poster-inspired layout and fun chevron stripe pattern. Super cute!

From Rebecca: My sister asked me to design the invitations for my nephews’ 14th and 16th birthday party and Raymond’s 8th grade graduation. This was the first time I’ve designed invitations for teenage boys – it was a little bit challenging since I’m the complete opposite of a teenage boy!

They’re not kids anymore (even though I still think of them as kids!) so I couldn’t put together something childish. I decided on a modern poster style invitation in their favorite colors, green and blue. It’s still fun without feeling childish. I also designed a green chevron stripe pattern that was printed on the back of the invitation. I paired the invitation with a kraft envelope and an envelope liner with the green chevron pattern.
