Another Louie!

Just found out over the weekend that we are nominated for another International Greeting Card Award (aka 'Louie Award'), which recognizes the best greeting cards in several different categories and price ranges. Our 'Bun in the Oven' card is nominated in the Pregnancy/Baby, $3.50 and under category. Hooray!

Rad Album Art + Busy-ness

Well I am one month away from taking my maternity leave. The belly is getting bigger every day, which also means I am getting more and more uncomfortable! On top of that we have been busier than ever here at Cracked Designs, so much so that I can't accept anymore summer weddings or store orders! I'm a tired preggo.

But to sooth my stressed out soul, I have been way into 'Broken Bells' a new collaboration between the lead singer of the Shins and Danger Mouse. Their album cover art is totally rad-tastic as well. You should check it out.

PS: I will been closing down my Etsy shop by the end of this month, which is a little earlier than originally planned. : (

Happy St. Patty's Day!

I am sad that I can't indulge in a green beer today. But I hope you all have a happy st. patty's day!

She & Him = Love

Holy smokes do I love She & Him! I have been anxiously awaiting their new album for months now and just bought tickets to see them live in Milwaukee in June. I love their album & website design. A little bit retro yet modern, ah so beautiful!

Since this is smack in the middle of Mother's Day, Father's Day & Graduation season.....get your awesome mom, dad and grad cards now! They are all for sale in our Etsy shop!

Destination Save the Dates

I recently designed some luggage tag style save the date cards for the wonderful Carmen & James who are getting married in Puerto Rico this December. I think they turned out pretty cool.
