Happy Birthday to You!

I apologize for not blogging in such a long while! September is a busy month for us... my in-laws came in for a visit for almost a week and both of our boys had birthdays. Our oldest celebrated his 4th & our "baby" celebrated his 1st. So I stayed busy being creative. :) Here are their birthday invites and cards...

    The cards and cakes are so cute, but I do admit I'm partial to the baby's cake. That elephant is adorable. Your hubby has another talent besides his woodworking it seems.

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!

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 .

Click here for similar free stencil fonts . Size and Formatting When you design a postcard, be aware of the requirements of the site where you decide to have them printed. 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...
