Today's video comes from Maxwell's magical holiday workshop, with his design for Stolen Texture Pennant Flags. You can string them over doorways, trees, above beds, across whole rooms.
• The Star: HP Photosmart 6520 All-In-One Printer Sleek, lean, and quiet, this printer features a gesture-enabled touchscreen & automatic photo paper tray with peek window. Print from anywhere with HP's "e-print," share wirelessly, and scan and copy anything. (And by anything, we mean anything.)
• Maxwell's Favorite Picks from the HP Holiday Headquarters Page (you can incorporate stolen textures into all of these):
• Folded Mini-Book, Card, and Calendar Templates
• Vibrant Snowball Ornaments
• Star Christmas Tree Topper
• The Holiday Elf: Ten years ago, Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan was known as the "apartment therapist," traveling by scooter to his clients' homes to help them make their spaces beautiful, organized and healthy. Part interior designer, part life coach, his touchpoints were simplicity, comfort, and lack of clutter. Unlike typical designers, Maxwell didn't want to dictate where things should go or how people should live, he wanted to arm them with the tools and the confidence to decide for themselves. Maxwell launched Apartment Therapy in 2004, turning the weekly email into a daily blog post, reviewing stores, offering tips, posting photos of Maxwell's design projects and answering readers' questions. Maxwell has a B.A. from Oberlin College, an M.A. from Columbia University, and a M. Ed. from Antioch. He lives in New York's Greenwich Village with his daughter, Ursula.

Nomade Express Slee...
I love this idea!! I will try it with Holiday catalogs...
OMG, I think the opening statement "textures are everywhere....once you develop an eye for scouting them..." has changed the way I look at graphic design. Great post. thanks.
This would be so terrific for a children's party. I can see using their old drawings, bunches of crayons, beads and blocks, candy etc. Thanks!!
made the banners for the holidays and I gotta tell you... it was my favorite craft this year...
