More Target Easter Cards

It's been such a chaotic week trying to plan a trip, and also attempting to get a whole load of printing finished. The printing certainly wasn't helped when the printer gave up on us, but thanks to B&H in New York, we had a new printer on our doorstep two days later. We have found B&H to be great for anything to do with printing, their price is always competitive, and paper we've ordered from them is nearly always with us the next day !

So here we go again with more great Easter cards from Target :

Feelgood Friday

Andrea found this band recently and we love their sound, they are called Young the Giant. I have only listened to this track a couple of times but it's growing on me already.

It's called My Body :

Feel Good Friday

We have been listening to Arcade Fire for a couple of years now, but never had the chance to see them.
Here is a track of them playing live on the BBC's Later show hosted by Jools Holland, the song is Month of May, hope we get to see them this year !

Target Easter

Target have all their Easter cards out now, and the colours and cute graphics this year are bright and eye catching. There are also several different textures and techniques being used as fills and layers, and these really make the cards stand out :

Books A Million

Books A Million is a great bookstore with Joe Muggs coffee. We usually go in there on a Sunday morning for a coffee after we walked the dog, and to catch up on some new books and magazines. We  found a great new cook book called 'Double Delicious! Good, Simple Food for Busy, Complicated Lives'  by Jessica Seinfeld. The recipe's are laid out very clearly, there are not loads of ingredients, and each one has the calorie count at the bottom of each page. The graphics and colours are all very retro, I think this one is going to find it's way into our kitchen sometime soon !  

The store also had these these bright covers for your keys, we loved the graphics and thought they are a great idea : 

We had to look twice when we saw these ! I am the Mustache Poo, Andrea's the Nerdy Poo with the glasses, which one are you ? 

We also found some cute 3D cards, each one creates a stand up scene as you open it up :
