Let me make one thing clear, I think the illustration work of Sandra Juto is phenomenal. And I think this poster she collaborated on with graphic designer Mija Carlsson and typographer Malena Forsare is uber-phenomenal. It must be mine.
Last week the web was abuzz over the release of Hello Handmade’s winter wares, but they’re too lovely to not share. Stay tuned at the end of the month for the release of new printables such as an advent calendar, bunting and ornaments!
At one point or another I’m willing to bet you had to put together a family tree. I was in the 3rd grade.. And I can still remember sitting on the hallway floor outside of the bathroom while my mother got ready for work and grilling her about her huge side of the family. I don’t remember much else, but I guarantee that the end result looked nothing like these stunning modern genealogy charts over at My Tree and Me. (Definitely another item destined for my ever-expanding Christmas List!) {via Design*Sponge}

Posted In downloads, entertaining, gifts, halloween, happy weekend, holidays, invitations, music, paper goods, recipes, weddingsUnlike paper calendars, which are often thrown out after use, this calendar is a truly “green” calendar option, as the piece can be tacked up on the wall or framed for the duration of the year MMX, and then used and loved for many years to come. Printed on a snowy white 100% cotton tea towel. Measures 19″ x 28″.
This four-color, large calendar – 12.5 x 19″ – has been silkscreened onto an 80-pound bright white French paper. Limited edition.
Hang it on your wall and enjoy its pristine state for the year. Made of 55% linen/45% cotton, this towel will serve you years of purpose past 2010. With each washing, it gets more supple and soft and makes an excellent drying towel, though you should expect fading and shrinkage. Dimensions are 16×20 inches. Comes with wooden hanging rod and strung with baker’s twine.
Each image is an original papercut, cut from a single piece of paper featuring strong images of everyday life, each with a powerful verb that inspires to action. Printed on acid-free paper using soy ink. Measures 12X12″.
Two calendars – Volcano and Tidalwave – measuring 5″ x 10″.
The illustrated calendar is 6 x 9 inches, printed on matte 110 lb paper using archival pigment ink.
Each month features a different pattern and color scheme. The calendars are spiral bound and come ready to hang. Each one is 8.5 inches by 11 inches giving enough room on each day to write important events and appointments. Printed on recycled heavy 100 lb linen coverstock. To make it even more earth friendly the pages are printed on both sides.
Veering away from marbled calendars of years past, Albertine created a 100% letterpress calendar. Playing with layering in the designs, and drawing in new colors, they made use of favorite custom designs in new and exciting ways. Each color scheme is entirely unique translating to 29 separate color runs for the project.
Calendars pages are 100% recycled paper. Each finished calendar measures 5″x8″ with hand-rounded corners and is hung with ribbon from a hole on the top. It is a limited edition of 225.
This 2010 calendar shows off a love for nature and vintage botanical prints with 12 unique specimen prints letterpress printed on each month. Sized to 5.5″ × 8.5″ and printed on 100% cotton, 110lb bright white stock. Order includes 12 month calendar + 1 tiny bulldog clip to display your calendar on the wall. Bonus: once the month is over, trim the dates off and turn each month into a 5.5″ × 5.5″ print for your wall. Limited edition of 100.
The calender is 6.3 x 11.7 inches (16,3 x 29,7 cm). Wirebind for wallhanging. Offset printed.
This perpetual calendar a stack of thirteen 2-sided cards, letterpress printed and measuring 3.5 x 5″. Each calendar comes in a display box (also letterpress printed!) that is free-standing with peel+stick assembly.
Original botanical illustrations were created from Anna’s own photographs. A true labor of love, the graphics on each monthly sheet have been gocco printed by hand in a mix of vivid colors including 3 metallic inks (all non-toxic). Printed on 100% recycled, 100% FSC certified post consumer fiber, processed chlorine free, manufactured using biogas energy.
12 unbound colorful sheets are packaged in a clear plastic jewel case that folds back to create a stand – or frame the 12 sheets for a bright year at a glance wall calendar. Measures ~4.75″ x 5.5″ with case.

Truer words were never set in wood type. Unless there’s a Marshmallows Make People Happy print somewhere out there that I’m unaware of… then I’d be torn. {via Oh So Beautiful Paper}
