Batman and Iron Man crashing in your wedding? Awesome!

If you don't want your life to be boring, then get yourself a geek boyfriend. And if you want that your wedding guests never forget your wedding, then let him go crazy!
I love "geekness", whatever kind of it. I think it brings at the top the creative side of the people. That is why, when my friend Tadej shared this video with me, I knew I had to share it with all of you. Check out how the wedding of Adam Bohn, CEO of Artix Entertainment/creator of AdventureQuest Worlds, and his fiancée Michelle Chang looked like. Awesome, ha?


Letter press invitations

Some people takes the wedding invitation as just the first necessary step to give on the wedding preparations. In my opinion something comes first than the invitation, and that is the plan of the whole wedding as a unique event. To select the theme, or color scheme will guide us then through all of the individual elements of the wedding, including the invitations.
Some other time I will talk more about this, but I think a good way to introduce the topic and warm up is to show you a great tool that today we have for designing the stationery of our wedding: letter press. I present you here some samples of wedding invitations, but in reality you can apply it to whatever paper element you have: thank you notes, menus, wedding guides...
Letter press is great because you don't need much to make your invitation look elegant and cool at the same time. Just a nice typography and some touch of color and there you have it.
Get inspired!

Diy Christmas trees

Christmas is getting close! I love this time. This is by far the most magical time in the year. The time where is allowed to be a child again, to get excited with the color lights, to eat candies like a pig... I am so anxious about Christmas time that I usually start planning what presents I am going to give, how will I decorate the house and the table, what will I prepare for dinner... almost two months in advance!
I love this event, so of course, I have to talk about it.
Today I am bringing you some fresh ideas about how to make a different Christmas tree. It is quite hard to renounce to the classic natural tree and ornaments, but the reasons that makes you choose a different option can be wide as the ocean, so here you have a bit of inspiration if you decide to "go wild" this year.

Wine cork, wooden planks, books... every possible object can become a Christmas tree. Basically you just have to respect the shape and add some "hanging" elements here and there and voilá!
The last one I did last year to decorate the class where I was teaching spanish. It is the most simple thing. You just need a piece of carton, an old book and some red felt. But the tool that you need for everyone of them is your imagination. So, use it!
