birthday cards! I finally came up with a new design for my client birthday cards - sticking with my bee theme. The first two years I just used my business logo printed on a card, but I used all of those up (I printed them on my handy-dandy HP color laser printer - which, amazingly, I still haven't had to buy toner cartridges for!) and decided to come up with a new and cuter design. For fall, I have done the hive and Be Happy on a white vertical card with a lavender background layer (I left my camera home!), but starting with January, I am going back to horizontal so I can run the inside through my other printer for the birthday greeting and add Smith & Associates. Yes, I'm putting off making this year's Christmas cards. Couldn't you tell? I have the design in my head, but I have yet to execute a prototype. I ran across some cards from my first year in business and I'm going to be frugal (um, lazy) and send those to new clients who won't realize they are a repeat. Sneaky, huh? I guess I'm having flashbacks to last year when I made this complicated card with a holly Cricut cut-out and glitter and well, they were pretty, but a lot of work and I made over three hundred of them - all the same. It's the OCD thing... My friend, Jill, who is an excellent cardmaker, makes several different designs every year because she gets bored making the same one over and over. I've tried, but I can't do it! There's something wrong with me...
