The history of the business card

When I started teaching a few years ago, I decided that I needed business cards. So I made these...



Then...got tired of those guys & made a bunch of these...


Then I got invited to CHA-S 07 & REALLY needed some new cards. I wanted something a little different, that wouldn't be easily tossed in the trash, so I made these with the chipboard blossoms 2 from Maya Road & broken china distress ink.



I bet you're getting the picture here! So, with CHA -W 08 right around the corner, I needed new cards since all my others have been given away. We have another terribly cloudy day, so this isn't the best photo, but you can get the idea.


These are made with Maya Road's motifs chipboard coasters, so they are pretty big. I used faded jeans this time...imagine that!!
The large flower is from Autumn Leaves & the scroll on the back is made by Hero Arts. Do something creative everyday is a stamp from the Paper Source. The ribbon is also from Maya Road.
So that's what I did today. Got 10 done & a few more started.
Hope the rest of your Monday is great!!
