Well hello everyone! I am back from vacation and ready with a new Evernotes Every! I started this series a full year ago and it's been fun cataloging my design interests as they've changed to include crafting and home decor thanks to Pinterest. I hope you enjoyed Kathleen's post last week while I was on vacation, if you haven't read it yet, click here. 1. Pixar Color Theory Sketch Disney Pixar posted this image last month. I have never noticed that they colored the toys according to their importance in the movie. I'll definitely be paying attention to this next time we watch it! 2. DNB Credit I like the combination of the mountain photograph overlayed with the stark triangular shapes for the redesign of DNB's credit card. Found via Brand New. 3.

With a stellar cast of designers (including Curtis Jinkins), the design is exquisite

February This may not seem like a big deal, but I got my first SLR Digital camera and it rejuvenated my passion for photography! It became my goal for the year to really learn photography and how to use my camera! Within a few weeks, Jess from J. Rose Photography asked me to tag along with her on an engagement shoot. March My lovely cousin-in-law came to town so we hit the hot spots of Los Angeles with her (at least what we could do in the pouring rain), including Intelligentsia. I had never been there before but had heard so much high praise from my friend Kathleen about it that it was a must try! While I wasn't a fan of the fellow smug guests, the coffee was pretty good! April Easter was in April this year and
