Best Thing: Minted.com

While researching holiday card design trends for a client today, I came across Minted, a site that sells beautiful paper products such as calling cards, greeting cards, and journals. Their pieces are the types of things I wish I had designed myself and I already have a growing wishlist. The piece that initially drew me in was this lovely year-in-review infographic holiday card (below).

I would probably die of happiness if I received
something this awesome in the mail.

The business card gallery is wonderful - is it possible to order one of everything?

THEN, after I was done swooning over the business and calling cards, I found the custom journal section. Choose your cover, your name/title, even an inside spread and whether the paper is lined or unlined.  I'm going to be adding these to my Pinterest "Wish List" board ASAP.

They also have a section called Design Challenge - where designers can upload concepts which get voted on and could end up being sold via Minted. No wonder they have such good designs, it's great design picked by great designers! Maybe I'll work on something to submit...
