2010 Cards!!!

I wasn’t certain if I would be able to offer this service again this year…BUT…I am SO excited to offer cards again this season! YAY!

All cards are 5x7 and are designed by me using digital papers and elements from the talented and sweet Michelle Underwood. I love the fresh, unique, fun and VINTAGE {with a touch of modern} look of these cards and I hope that you will too!  I am just loving reds, turquoises and greens and browns this year! 

My cards are SUPER economical and they print BEAUTIFULLY…perfectly crisp and lovely!

The Toothpick

What a super FUN blog!  I just completed a blog for a sweet, ten year old, self proclaimed “FOODIE” who will be known on the WWW as “The Toothpick”.  As a fellow foodie, it was my true PLEASURE to help “The Toothpick” and his sweet mom (I mean, SUPER sweet! Do people still say “super”?) come up with a design for his very first blog.  : D

Welcome to blogland, TP!!  : D  I will be a frequent visitor!
