DIY compliment bunting

I've created a downloadable file for making compliment bunting. When you need to tell someone they're super, this might be just the thing. Use it for birthdays, promotions or when your friend is sad. Everybody likes compliments. By the way, your hair looks very nice today.

If you happen to have a Silhouette digital cutter and Adobe Illustrator, it's fun to cut out the letters. (You'll need the Cutting Master 2 Craft ROBO plug-in, available here for Mac and PC. Install it, then open the bunting PDF in Illustrator. Delete the extra pages, then go to File > Cutting Master and cut your triangle of choice.)

Or just print your favorite PDF pages on cardstock and cut them out. Punch small holes in the corners and string the bunting.

The PDF contains six pages—three designs in two colors each. Download the complimentary compliment bunting file right here.

Golden Book Couture

 

Remember those wonderful hardcover story books with the golden spine? That's right, I'm talking about Golden Books! The popular children's book series which has made famous stories such as, The Little Red Hen and Mother Goose, is now getting attention for something completely different! Believe it or not, Golden Books has officially gone Couture and is making a serious impression on the fashion industry thanks to designer, Ryan Novelline. This story book gown has been officially declared "so amazing" by designer Tommy Hilfigure and "a Couture gown even Cinderella would envy" by Random House Publishing.

"The skirt is comprised entirely of the illustrations from the books sewn together with metallic gold thread, and the bodice is made from the books' foil spines. Both the bodice and skirt have tape backing for reinforcement."

Lisa Luxe : Tattooed Pin Up Extraordinaire

Great things really do come in small packages! Just ask, Lisa Luxe, the pocket sized pin up who's got a little more than experience under her belt. Lisa has been featured in tons of publications (both online and in print), she's a spokes model for companies like Vintage Suits by Mary and sassyNpunk, to name a few... and even does runway. Yep, this little pinup has got major modeling chops, and I recently got to ask her a few questions about what makes her so awesome! Here's what I found out:

What's your professional name and how did you come up with it?

"Lisa Luxe, suggested by a friend and it sounded good!"

When did you decide to start modeling and why? 

"I started about three years ago, I didn't really decide to start, it was an opportunity that I took advantage of and had a blast so I continued to persue it."

Did you consider yourself "beautiful" growing up? 

"Physically not so much, as a person, I suppose yes. . . I try to be as considerate and caring as I can."

What is your greatest accomplishment to date? 

"The fact that I found such an amazing man to marry and I didn't let him get away. . . "

Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 

"Happy. I never would have guessed in my wildest dreams five years ago, that I would be where I am today. . . so I'm just going with the flow and taking advantage of every opportunity that comes my way!"

Do you wear you sassyNpunk products? 

"Of course! I especially love my custom "Luxe" Pendant!"

Happy April Fool's Day

I like today for three reasons. One, it's Friday. Two, it's my birthday. Three, it's April Fool's Day. An unrelated note: while our neighbors were out of the country recently, we may have accidentally let ourselves into their house and applied self-adhesive googly eyes to their stuff. Some eyes might possibly have ended up in our house, too.
