Something like "Love Day," only not so lame




Happy Love Day, everyone!
Yes, I know it's only the first week of January, and you probably haven't even taken down your Christmas tree yet, but manufactured Romance® is in the air!

If you happen to shop at Target, check out the One Spot section (aka the dollar section) for my handmade card and gift bag designs! There are also list pads, chinese take out boxes, tissue paper, etc in coordinating designs.

Finally Finished! Huge (39 items!) printable Totoro stationery set

totoro-printable-stationery-set_121008_04


Man oh man. At a certain point we had to say, "Okay stop. There's a billion things in here!" 39 to be exact. 6 PDF pages full of Totoro Goodness® . We could have gone on forever. There's so much fun stuff in the Totoro universe, it's easy to get carried away. But we wanted to get the holiday set listed before the holidays were over. Shocking concept there, eh?


The character designs are all from Miyazaki, but each illustration is original by Mona.


My favorite is the Soot Sprite Christmas Tree.

Mirror Monster! Rar! Green!

Oh man, this dude's miffed. Also: irked.

Another upcycled/altered mirror. We stained this guy green so you can still see the wood grain. Etched some pointy fangs, and painted on some furrowed eyeballs. Poof! Rar!

2009 calendar. Naked. Almost.

Just finished posting my minimalist design calendar for 2009 as a printable PDF template. Once you purchase the listing, we email you the PDF file, and you can print out as many as you like. I set them up so that two months are on a single letter-sized page, so you just have to print on cardstock and cut them in half. Give them as gifts, or keep for yourself, or both. Print out on a nice textured cardstock, punch a hole in each one and tie with a ribbon and you've got sweet presents for like, wicked cheap.

Design-wise, each month has a corresponding color stripe that themes with that month's season, and each month the stripe moves one slot to the right. So January is far left, and December is far right.

I hope you like them, I certainly had fun designing them.
