A while back I contacted A Bryan Photo about documenting some family trips using Super 8 films. They have recently introduced a new package called Homemade Films. You get to borrow one Super 8 video camera, a LOMO, and a Holga. Also included is the film for both and a video tutorial DVD on how to use all the cameras! Once you’re done, you just mail the kit a back to them and they will process, edit and present them back to you in final form. Can you say, fantastic IDEA?!

My family goes on about three camping trips every year, and I know one day those will come to an end. How great would it be to have a record of it all? I know I’ll miss those days of sleeping in tents, waking up early and making breakfast and best of all, sitting around the campfire.

How cute are the results from this couple who did the Homemade Films on their Honeymoon?

Pricing begins at $1500, visit the site for more examples.

This little illustration is too cute, but what really struck me was that Invisible Creature is having fun with some old fashioned participation using snail mail. Why? Because we all like to receive good ol’ mail. So all you have to do is send them a self-addressed stamped envelope (decorated in some way) and they’ll fill it with goodies. I’m already planning mine out, oh, and you only have until September 1 and you have to get creative with your envelope! Read the details.

“Regardless of your artistic ability, we ask that your envelope addressed to us be creatively designed or illustrated. No rules, anything goes – and we’ll post the coolest ones on Twitter.”

Feeling inspired by these three font designs inspired by traditional Polish embroidery by Iwona Przybyla.

This is the sort of thing that I would pay WAY too much money for at a flea market or antique extravaganza, I’ve been known to do that.

My day went from okay to phenomenal thanks to a lovely arrival in the mail. Not one, but TWO surprises. The first is #6 of Uppercase Magazine arrived, I can’t wait to dive in. If you aren’t a subscriber, I highly recommend that you become one … now! But if you can’t swing it, Janine lets you flip through a digital version online.

Second, a very unexpected package from SwaySpace thanking me for a lovely post on their Knot journal. You’re welcome and thank you for the package of goodies, I feel like a little kid today!!!
