Fun Birthday Card

I made a card this past weekend for a friend of mine who was having a birthday. It was a new one for me. I saw the design for this over on Hero Arts (pretty sure that's where it was!), but I customized it! :) It was a little time consuming since it was the first time making it, but really a lot of fun!

Here is the card opened up. You have to pull the tag to open it...

The back side... you can see how I attached things here...

And here it is closed... it lays nice & flat when it's in an envelope, but I let it pop up a little for the pic...

Confession: I'm not Super Woman

Image
Too often I fall into the rut of trying to be "Super Woman". I become intimidated by other women I see who seem to have it together. You've seen them, they exercise daily and look stunning, they religiously feed their family 5 fruits and veggies every single day, their life is so routine that even the dog knows the schedule, their laundry is folded immediately after it exists the dryer and is still hot when put away in it's organized chest of drawers, dust never collects on their furniture, crumbs literally float to the garbage can because they would not dare fall on the perfectly clean floor... ok, so maybe that's a little exaggerated, but you get the idea! I confess, I'm not Super Woman... I've given my kids peanut butter and jelly sandwiches served on a napkin for lunch more times than I care to count. That's ok. It's one of their favorites. PBJs aren't all that bad. I confess, I'm not Super Woman... I have more than...

DIY Moving Announcements

Image
After our recent move, I decided to create my own moving announcement . Considering the fact that it would have cost me well over $50 to order the same number of  predesigned cards , I felt the time and effort was well worth it! It cost me less than $15.00 You can do it too! Design Style I chose to go with a more simplistic style. By using digital cardboard for my background and a stacked photo frame, I was able to keep it simple , but still add dimension and texture . I also made sure to add a slight shadow to some of my elements to give the design some depth. I also went with more basic fonts to compliment the simple design.

Most sites will accept .jpg files that are 300 dpi or greater.  However, some sites do require your image to be converted to CMYK. I like to use this simple site to c...
