You may have noticed…a new banner and blog look!
The background is from thecutestblogontheblock, I just picked another background instead of the other Madison Ave look. But I’m most excited about my new banner. If you have a peek at my Etsy store, you can see they match now. The blog banner, Etsy banner and a few other things (business cards, labels and custom order Etsy shopholder) were designed by the wonderful Stacey at Pixel Cafe. She is an absolute delight to work with, and incredibly patient with someone like me who knows NOTHING about graphic design.
I sent my new business card to the printer yesterday, they should be in this week, I can’t wait to get them back. I feel like a real business owner now. Once they come in, I’ll share with you :)
I have a few things cookin’ here, but they’re not ready to share yet.
I did manage to finish a card for Taylor’s challenge this week. I skipped last week, but when I saw this week’s sketch, I knew it would be perfect for some birthday cards I need to make.
I had been putting off buying the oval Nesties, but after I saw Taylor’s sketch, I knew I couldn’t put it off any more. Part of the reason I had waited so long was that Nesties are hard to find up here, I always had to order them from the U.S. With the dollar being what it is…it’s pricey. But then! my friend Andrea told me about this wonderful little place- ScrappinGreatDeals. It’s a 5 minute drive from my house (and you can order online) and has all the Nesties I could ever dream of owning. She’s got wonderful paper (also used in the card, I just couldn’t resist!) and lots of other fab stuff- which I’ll share later in the week. So much stuff just hopped in my basket- don’t you hate when that happens? It was begging to come home with me, what could I do?
This was also the first card where I got to do some paper piercing, using my new Mat pack from SU. What a difference the right template makes! I had some other templates from another company, but they don’t hold a candle to the SU ones. I’m pretty happy about the card, and used ribbon from Michaels that I bought nearly 3 years ago and hadn’t used yet!
Well, I have a few errands to do today and my plan is to clean the car-ick. But it’s a beautiful sunny Sunday and it’s got to be done!
Happy Sunday!
Ciao for now,
