Stop motion love

Learning new things from friends is always the best and thanks to blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and every other social media platform where you can share amazing links we are graced with oodles of designed goodness. Like this music video from Kina Grannis. Using 288,000 jelly beans and one seriously patient musician, this stop motion for In your arms is not only pleasant on the ears, its super creative and colorful! And be sure to check out the behind the scenes, it was just as entertaining watching the magic happen. Talk about dedication.

For the Tetris lovers

Last week the husband and I came to the conclusion that our Ikea bookcases have done their duty and it is time for a newer look.  Thankfully, over the weekend we stopped by our new favorite used furniture store Poor Honey's (don't you just love the name!) and found two giant bookcases.  They both need work, but for $35 a piece, they were a steal.  Although, after seeing this short stop motion video of a Tetris inspired bookcase has me jonzing for more.  How do you store your books and knick naks?

A slice of invite

I have a huge fascination with anything stop motion, and this adorable photography couple has taken it to another level.  Armed with cameras with remotes and a whole lot of creativity, bride and groom to be, Jodi and Kurt came up with one adorable wedding invitation.  And they didn't stop there!  Just look at the amazing detail put into the rest of the invitation.  Mixing burlap, charms, and a little twine, these are not only one of a kind, they totally set the tone for the rest of their special day.

 And can I just point out the postage!  Often one of those things that somehow escapes the mind when you are busy creating your one of a kind invite.  I ran into the same issue, nothing says wedding like double the price!
