Nautical Inspiration

The shop has been a little slower this week so it left me some time to find my newest inspiration, Nautical Baby! I plan to make a few designs based on this theme.

The cards are available now on my etsy site 

I am always looking for new themes so if you are an expecting mother let me know what you are using as your nursery theme.

The Cutest Blog

Hellooooo (that was a Julia Child hi). Feels like a long time since I have rambled on here :) I have been working on some blogger fun for a new client and thought I would share some fun tips that you can use to make your own blog better

From the cutest blog on the block:

http://thecutestblogontheblock.com/blog-secrets.html

I have already loved:
"how to make your own banner"
"how to add a signature to your posts"

From Kevin & Amanda

"how to use a cute font for your blog titles" this is a long process but it is worth it. If you don't feel tech savy just take it slow and read carefully.

If you ever need help let me know and we can work something out.

White Rose

I got the cutest ring in the mail today! I wanted to start shopping all handmade (www.esty.com) and I also wanted to look in the local area, so I searched my zip and ... zip... the result came up a great new jewelry find! Jennifer of the Family Jewels, http://www.etsy.com/shop/Jenifersfamilyjewels, and she only lives about 5-10 miles from my house! The ring is super cute and came in the cutest packaging, would make a great gift!

Relay For Life Plug

So far I have devoted this blog solely to the graphic design industry but I am so excited that I just can't keep it in. We are officially registered for the 2010 Relay For Life of Santa Rosa! This is going to be our 3rd year having a team in Santa Rosa (been relaying about 13 years total) and I have high hopes for a huge team and an even bigger team total $$$ Our team page can be found online by clicking here.

If you haven't heard about Relay For Life to date you must live under a rock, hehe, just kidding! But in all seriousness it is a life changing event that I want everyone to have the opportunity to take part in. So if this blog topic is foreign to you check out www.RelayForLife.org to find a Relay in your area.

It is also a great way to get your business out in the community (see I knew I could tie it into my industry).
