Pantogar Memo Pad

{image via directdaily.com}

Losing hair gradually is a problem people tend to neglect. A specially designed memo pad is made to engage people with the problem of hair loss. As users tear off memo sheets every day, the illustrated person’s “hair” becomes thinner and thinner, alerting them of possible hair loss. They then remind them to face the problem before it is too late and that Pantogar revitalizer is the best solution.

This memo pad is designed by JWT, Hong Kong. The guy's face looks really sad gives a very strong impact. Would like to see other version if there is any.

Check out these beautiful business cards by Ellie. These cards are customized with your contact infomation, printed on cover stock, then embellished with my favorite Japanese masking tape and a string around the middle! How simple but pretty! You can purchase some in her shop, Hello Tenfold.


I just recived my shipment of boxful of Japanese masking tapes. Ellie's Business Card inspires me to do some hand stamping (Gocco-ing) + Japanese Masking Tape embellished business cards for myself. Don't know when am I going to do it, but it's on my to do list now.

Above is my favorite set of the tapes. If you want to do some cards for yourself and you need some tapes, you can purchase some here.

Japanese Masking Tapes (マスキングテープ)

I'd been lazy and didn't want to do anyting since the New Year. After 20 days of resting, it's time to come back to reality!

Recently I am very happy to see that everywhere I look I'm seeing Japanese masking tape and more creative uses for it. I know many people had blogged about it but I think it's worth a revisit. Especially now, since it's so easy to find and buy online. Below you'll find a few projects to make with the tape.
