Inspiration for keeping the good memories

[picpack]

Endless Summer

Fall has officially started and we still can’t stop thinking about the amazing holiday adventures we had before! The so called ‘rentrée’ season is a time to reset and tune in into the new challenges at work, at school and everything in between, but that doesn’t mean we have to forget all the special moments we had during summer.

Because summer too is a time to reset and enjoy the little things we usually can’t enjoy on weekdays while running in between commitments and solving problems.

We look at the past couple of months as opportunities to collect memories and fill our hearts and minds with energy for what’s about to come next. And we did this in so many ways with the people we love that at the end of summer, we can only think about our #throwback pictures. Collecting photos of these moments, make us remember all the great energies and vibes we shared in all those music festivals, long days at the beach, quiet walks at the countryside and wonderful and unexpected sunsets at our favourite rooftop in the city.

Each moment is unique and the best part is that all of them together will turn into a set of powerful magnets that we will spread around the house after summer ends...to bring back that joy and that awesome freedom feeling we had! You too can and should collect these moments so wait no more and grab your camera or search into your Instagram profile for those top notch captions and visit getpicpack.com to turn them into high quality magnets.

Wait no more and share them with us with the #picpack, we would love to see them!

A moment like this… is a moment to remember forever.

It’s that time of the year again. Even though weddings happen throughout the entire year, summer is definitely one of the most favourite seasons for couples to live their happily ever after day. Sun is shining brighter than ever, nature sparkles and love is meant to be spread and celebrated amongst the couple and their loved ones (and of course, we have perfect summer days to take pictures to always remember!).

And whenever we think of weddings, we can’t help of picturing all the special moments that turn a day into an unforgettable memory. From the proposal to the honeymoon, it’s all about living the emotions to the fullest. Of course, the groom will probably need the help of his friends and family to pull off that special surprise that will end up with a “Yes!” and that is our first moment to remember. It’s a culmination of dedication, imagination and preservation that becomes the beginning of a wonderful journey between the two. And it’s also the time we say our first: “eternalise it!”

Afterwards, the news is spread all over the couple’s social circles and the bachelor parties start to become real: schedule the places, the times, the activities, the surprises, the gifts and make sure everyone important for both the bride and the groom will be (respectively) there. Those are moments to show them how happy and special this moment is for everyone, not only for them. Love is meant to be shared. And… most probably, the funnier memories will also appear around here! So for us, this will be our second shout out to “eternalise them!”

Everything sums up and comes up to the great great moment of the ceremony and the ultimate celebration of love. And to celebrate love people just need to be filled with love, regardless of a more formal or informal or not so formal at all type of ceremony. It’s all about being surrounded with people who cherish you and are truly and deeply happy for you and we bet that with these ingredients, the most magical wedding will indeed happen. And we for sure have to say: “eternalise it!”.

All of the special moments that are shared today, on Social Media, on Video and using all the digital platforms and tools we are all used to, are also meant to keep forever at your home, to offer to your friends and family and to basically, eternalise them as magnets. A while ago, the wonderful couple Linda and Baris celebrated their magical moment with their loved ones and they have decided to offer the guests a Picpack with one of the many memories they all shared together. Each and every one of them took a little bit of their joy home and they eternalised a very special moment… a moment they will remember forever.

We too would love to be part of your love story. Check out the possibilites we have available and make sure your wedding will be even more unforgettable for you and for the people you love the most. For any enquiries, please reach out to us by sending us an email to: [email protected].

Fortunately with Snapcodes the messaging service offers an elegant way to add friends: just point your camera on the Snapcode and take a snap and you'll be asked if you want to add the new friend. Easy as that.

Even better news: Snapchat recently announced that you can download your own Snapcode as SVG and PNG along with guidelines for modifying and customizing the Snapcode.

Nadine Follows Her Passion And Sells Illustrations For Kids on Magnets

Again and again, we are thrilled by the creativity of our customers. Nadine Conrad is one of them. She started to illustrate for children when she had a baby herself. Recently, she also started selling her artworks, not only on postcards, but also on magnets. To highlight our collaboration, we wanted to introduce Nadine and her work. As a special treat, we’ll give away some of the magnets with Nadine's artwork. More details at the end of the interview!

Together with two friends you offer different products on your website tartuffoli.de – from games to jewellery to magnets. How did you start and what's the idea behind Tartuffoli?

While being pregnant in 2013, I started contemplating about my life and myself: what is it that I  want?  What’s bringing a little bit more structure to my life?

Due to my pregnancy, I started to illustrate for children and stumbled upon a shop that was selling postcards of local artists. – And they became my first customer. Later on, I figured that there are no decent illustrations for kids of my hometown Potsdam, Germany. So I changed that and did a first bunch of postcards of local sights like the castle Sanssouci. – That brought me even more customers. Finally, I teamed up with two friends, we extended our product range and created our online shop “Tartuffoli”. – The name actually is an ancient word for “potatoes” – which were brought to German by Frederick II of Prussia.

Tell us a bit about yourself. What's your background? How did you get started as an illustrator?

I started illustrating after my studies in 2005 but only got actively involved from 2010 onward. Since 2014, I started to follow my passion full time, cooperating with local shops and selling my work on tartuffoli.de

Where do you get inspiration for your illustrations?

I get my inspiration from friends that are quite successful artists and from everyday life. I also really enjoy the work of James Jean, Walt Kelly and Walton Ford.

You are running an online shop where fans can purchase your works on Picpack magnets. What did you think when you received your first Picpacks?

I was super surprised how fast the magnets arrived. I think it was less than 24 hours and the quality was great! So I plan to extend my cooperation with Picpack in the future.

GIVE AWAY Together with Nadine we'll give away the below magnet to 5 of our readers. Just write an email to [email protected] until March 18th with your postal address. Good luck!

ARE YOU AN ARTIST? If you are also interested in selling your artworks on magnets as well, please get in touch, we have special conditions for bulk orders: [email protected].
