Amazing Victoria at sfgirlbybay has been organizing this awesome blogger mashup called “Blog it Forward” with 300 blogs from all over the world (!) and it is starting this Wednesday, February 10th… and I am proud to be the one of the starters!!!

Basically, we each post about “what inspires you personally” and passing it to the next blog everyday (except weekends) from Wednesday on. (See the full list of the blogs and the schedule here) As Victoria is hoping, “the spirit of this is to share some new and maybe not as well-known blogs, so i hope everyone finds some new inspiration!” I also hope that the spirit will carry through and that everyone finds inspiration everyday :)

Stay tuned on what inspires ME this Wednesday…! Thank you, Victoria!!

I just posted about this Bright Side Project yesterday, but I had to mention again because my print is featured today and it is up for giveaway!

Again, all you have to do is to answer the question.

What do you love to do?

My answer would be…. I love to design, I love to print (letterpress!), I love to make/see people happy!

When I was invited by Tristan, I thought it was such a nice project and I hope that it brightens your day, your month, your year!! Good luck!!

February is my favorite month of the year (4 days in already!?). Love is in the air – Valentine’s day and our anniversary – and my birthday is in February, too. And on top of that, Tristan from The Blah, Blah, Blahg is having “The Bright Side Project“; EVERY DAY, for the entire month of February, she is having a giveaway from 28 different artists and so far it’s awesome and I want to win everything! All you have to do is to answer some questions and check back often. I think she is giving a week for each giveaway so you still have time to enter from the day 1 – click here to see and enter yourself!

(do you recognize the top left image?!)

Thank you, Tristan, for having this amazing project for everyone in the world!! Definitely brightens my day!

My letterpress print was featured at black. white. bliss. today! Her blog is one of my favorite design blogs so this is super cool for me and woooo, it looks good on her blog!

Love the concept of her blog so much, I am a big fan of black and white designs. They can be very simple and very strong. and of course beautiful.

Thank you so much for the wonderful mention, Jane!

My letterpress card was featured at 365 Days of Creativity!

I was so happy to see that and read about it… yes, exactly! The possibility is endless! and “The cards are letterpressed with love, so make sure it’s something that shares the love contained in their production.” Yes, yes, yes! Thank you so much!

This blog is very inspiring – the name of the blog is so great to begin with – it has a lot of design inspirations, typography, letterpress etc. I am going to add this to my daily visit.

Happy Friday, everyone, hope you all have a great weekend!!

Continuing introducing great bloggers/artists I met over the weekend…

Maquette: I love Samantha’s work so much, her patterns and illustrations are so unique and very inspiring. I also love her hand-lettering!

How cute is this pillow?!

montague: I knew that Amy takes photos after seeing the nice Nikon camera and her photos are so so gorgeous!

The photographic exercise, one of her posts, I thought it was so cool and inspiring.

particular aesthetic: Laura had this beautiful laptop/clutch (HP laptop by Vivienne Tam) up on her blog and I want one! Her blog is simple, clean, and talks about neat things from fashion to interior.

for me, for you: Kate runs “for me, for you” and I couldn’t talk to her as much because of the seating situation, but I’m glad I got to meet her and find her blog. She is a featured buyer at Etsy – that’s awesome!
