I decided to change my friday finds to weekly finds since I want to give myself the freedom of posting amazing inspirations whenever I find them (when it comes to a creative mind we tend to work on our own creative fairy hits us). This awesome find is probably not a find for many since her work is pretty well known in the creative community, but I still wanted to post it because Ms. Anna Bond’s work from RIFLE design never ceases to amaze me. I just adore her wedding invitations, each one seems like a little story book of the lucky couple. The great news is that she is opening her online store soon to everybody’s delight (especially mine).

Decidí cambiar mis “friday finds” por “artista de la semana” ya que me quiero dar la libertad de escribir sobre todos los artitas talentosos que inspiran apenas los encuentre. La artista de la semana de seguro ya la conocen pero quize de todos modos escribir sobre la artista Anna Bond de RIFLE design porque sus ilustraciones me fascinan. Me encanta como cada uno de sus invitaciones de boda parece un libro de cuentos encantado sobre la pareja. Lo bueno también es que Anna, pronto abrirá su propia tienda virtual con sus ilustraciones espectaculares.

One of my favorite stationery designers is Mrs. Ivana from Love Ardently (who happened to also graduate from the same fabulous design department that I graduated from, UCO) just launched her etsy shop with custom invitations & stationery. I love her very simple, classic & colorful style. She also does really beautiful custom monograms.

Una de mis diseñadora favoritas, que a la vez se gradúo de la misma universidad mia, UCO,  es la dulce Ivana de Love Ardently. Ivana acaba de abrir su tienda Etsy donde ella ofrece sus diseños únicos en invitaciones y otros artículos de papelería. Me encanta su estilo tan simple y clásico con colores brillantes. Ella también diseña monogramas para invitaciones de bodas.

There comes a time in every teenage girl’s life where she makes that big leap into womanhood, and in the Latino culture, we celebrate that by throwing a huge “fairy tale” party that we call a Quinceañera (Sweet 15). A big, formal party that includes a choreography, catering, a big, Cinderella dress are some of the few things that are part of this important event. Obviously for such a big event, the stationery should be as spectacular, and I happened to find this awesome stationery designer, Victor Jacobo, that brings every Latina teenage girl’s dream come true, but in paper form.

Llega un momento en la vida de cada jovensita Latina donde tenemos que convertirnos de niñas a mujersitas, y en nuestra cultura lo celebramos con un fiesta formal y super espectacular que se llama la fiesta de Quince Años. Obviamente una celebración como esta necesita invitaciones espectaculares, y el diseñador Victor Jacobo tiene un portafolio con invitaciones sumamente divinas.
