After sifting through the sample pack that was sent to us by Juke Box Print (based in Gastown - Vanocuver, BC) we couldn't help but get overly excited and make an impulse print purchase. They have so many fantastic business cards and glamorous techniques including spot UV, emboss, die cutting (any shape) and metallic and satin finishes. We just wanted to share our excitement for said beautiful stock. Fellow stationary & graphic design junkies can appreciate our happiness :)

Talk about dedication. It's too cold for me to even walk to my car (yes, I'm a pansy) - and this girl is outside with a squigee cleaning the doors and windows of the LWD Studio. We appreciate you!!!

While a family member was back east in Ontario, they picked up this fantastic book 'A Homage to Typography' by Pedro Guitton for the Lethbridge Web Design library. Not only does it showcase and demonstrate real-life applications for hundreds of fonts, but it includes 63 absolutely fun and stellar typefaces on disc.

Not only do we love the cover design, but it's a great tribute to some fantastic fonts and the perfect addition to our collection of design and typography reads.

Since extreme, life-saving techniques are all the rage within our office, we brought in some relevant, light-reading. Our personal favorite? How to perform the Vulcan Nerve Pinch as seen in The Action Hero's Handbook.

Part of the reason why we love the people at FreshBooks (aside from the painless online billing and invoicing) is for the fun ways they connect with their customers. When we first joined FreshBooks, we were sent stickers 'n treats in the mail. Seriously, who does that? These guys do! They also send us friendly FreshBooks Birthday Greetings. It's been a fantastic 3 years with you guys - thanks for always keepin' things Fresh :)

We've been ordering from Moo Print for about two years now for our mini cards. We absolutely love the quality - stock, colour and crop - these cards are always a cut above. We added a few new quotes and tag lines to keep things fresh, fun and interesting! Business cards can be a great conversation starter  - they also create that connection (and lasting impression) that we all strive for when meeting new people.
