My latest internet addiction – Wanelo! Similar to Pinterest, only this focuses on products you can buy. Some amazing things from all over are popping up and they are truly unique. My friend sent me a link to a little mermaid laptop decal… and once I figured the site out I was hooked! This might be as addicting as Pinterest, only my wallet might feel a little lighter because of it. That could be good and bad! Check it out: Wanelo.com and also follow me: wanelo.com/candyariels

Back when I was in middle school/high school I had a huge sticker collection. I’m not really sure what made me want to collect them (probably the lack of internet in my life at the time LOL). But I had a ton, and now that I’m a full time designer I love the fact that I can create basically anything I want and have it printed. I’ve been searching for a company that does sticker printing. Print Runner offers many options on sticker printing but the thing I am super excited about is the fact that they offer them in a roll! Not just sheets of stickers.
Now my only issue is deciding what to put on the stickers. Designing for someone else – that’s easy. Designing for me? It will be the design that never ends! Any suggestions on what I should print on stickers?
It’s only been a few weeks since Instagram was FINALLY released on Android and I’ve been having a lot of fun with it. During this time I’ve come across some really amazing products that work with Instagram. It’s interesting to see how 1 person had an idea to make this app and now it has snowballed into so many awesome things! What can I say? I’m a sucker for old photos.

A few weeks ago I submitted an idea to Tattly. What’s tattly you ask? Fun, temporary tattoos made by designers. Back when I was a waitress, and when we had nothing to do I would take the temporary tattoos from the machine and make it stick to the cardboard on the back of my writing pad.
I was reminded of this when I first heard of tattly. So I went ahead and bought myself one of those Moleskin Cahier Notebooks. And had a party with it.
Some tips when applying to cardboard:
– It might be sticky to the touch for a little while, just let dry.
– It might crack and weather over time but to me that’s what makes temporary tattoos awesome!
You may recognize the artist name… or even this painting. I wrote an entry about Mr. Lilley last year. I truly loved his work… contrast just draws me in… and hooks me! [I’m actually convinced I’m addicted to high contrast, if that’s possible] Anyway, I had asked him if I were able to purchase one of his paintings. I hadn’t heard from him for a while and the next thing I knew he asked for my address. What!? I am still shocked but super excited. He sent me one of his paintings… the same one I was in love with last year. His “Moo Cow” – Red Devon.
His work is amazing but it is even better in person. I’ve never seen red so perfect before in my life. I have an “art wall” in my apartment and I plan to hang it there next to my tree painting. I’ll post more pictures later on but I wanted to take the time to say THANK YOU to Jayson!
Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you
Make sure you follow him on twitter and tell him how awesome he is! – @iamjaysonlilley
THIS IS FUN! You can create your own beat box! Took me a moment to figure it out, but you drag the icons at the bottom to the character and each one is a different music element. I’m convinced I’m still a kid at heart, because little things like this make me very excited… I think I am going to be emailing this to my little cousins 🙂 Check it out at Incredibox.fr.
