Cute stamps and frames

Cute stamps and frames

I stumbled upon Puricute today, which is probably a bit late since it seems to exist for a while. But I do want to share the site with you.

The concept is pretty simple; you upload your picture and customize it. Just enhance it with a frame and use as much cute stamps as you like. Now hold your horses, it takes a while for the picture to be saved. The result can be posted to many applications like Facebook and Wordpress.

It looks pretty much like a Japanese photo sticker boot, where you can add images to your picture. And that’s exactly what this site does, it makes it possible to order stickers from your creation. One sheet is $ 2.99, excluding (fair) shipping costs. I can imagine the stickers would be nice for decoration or as a gift Smile.

You can receive 2 sheets for free at the Cute and Dangerous event on Friday.

Tokidoki Screensaver and Pixel Graphics

Combine Tokidoki with Hello Kitty and you get ultra cute items. I noticed a new line with Hello Kitty riding on a unicorn, or unicono as Simon Legno would call it. Somehow it reminds me of the 80’s, which is a good thing -I’m sentimental.
On Tokidoki’s website I was pleasantly surprised by a Screensaver! The screensaver will update frequently with new themes, so you’ve always got something nice to look at.

Today I received a sweet e-mail from Michelle, telling me that one of my pixel graphics has been used on Glitter Graphics. Apparently people kids upload loads of pixels that they haven’t created themselves.Visitors can grab the images and will leave comments like “cute” or “awesome” or other profound meanings…

This wouldn’t bother that much if at least they had the dignity to leave my url inside the image intact. Have a look at the site, and especially this section. If you create pixel graphics they might have been used as well - in fact I would be surprised if it isn’t there Shock Oh, you can send your reports of alleged copyright violations here!

Monthly spotlight: Mofy

Yep, that’s right I’m changing the spotlight to monthly. At least I know I can stick to that Wink

So this month’s attention goes out to Mofy. Mofy is the cutest white bunny created by Aki Kondo. She’s also responsible for Rillakuma, the lazy bear from San-X. If you’re on Aki Kondo’s website make sure to have a look at her illustrations - navigate with the menu on the left. She creates nice whimsical, retro themed girls and animals.

Mofy is the star of the month since A. he’s a bunny -one of the cutest animals IMHO B. he lives in a cotton ball and is therefore eco friendly and C. Mofy makes great merchandising. Now if you would like this bunny and his friends to cheer up your desktop click here. If you want him to guard your keys, you might like to visit Strapya. Personally I prefer the tea cup with donut version since it matches my Blog theme Wink
