Building A Business/Brand

Scrapbooking is a hobby that I am passionate about, and so, I hope to create a business doing it on the side.

I love making gifts for people, and to me, our relationships and the people in our lives are the most important things we have. 

To that end, I have created business cards to provide people with my information and labels to put on my creations.


The mini business cards came from MOO (http://us.moo.com/)


And the labels came from Expressionery (http://www.expressionery.com/)

The thing I absolutely love about both of these companies is that their products are so creative, and they allow you to spread your creativity, as well.

Housewarming Frame

Can you ever really go home again? 

After living in the house I grew up in, which my parents lived in for over 30 years, my parents recently moved into a new house.  They don't live that far from where they used to, but a new house is a new beginning.  

I had a surprise housewarming party for them this last weekend, and I made this as a gift for them.  It has the invitation to the party, pictures of the old and new house, and a key, along with some other "home" related embellishments.     

I think it turned out great.  One of my best creations yet!
