Create That “WOW” Factor with These Custom Business Card Holders

 

I go to a lot of convention and crafting events around the country throughout the year and, just like any other convention or meeting, it's always important to have business cards on hand to exchange with new contacts. My goal is to have cards that are interesting and creative enough to be memorable – a challenge in a creative industry in which many talented crafters hand-make their own business cards.

Make Progress with This Free Goal Setting and Action Planner Download

Create a Reusable Yard Sign for Group Events

 

 

It’s been a while since you’ve heard from me on the blog, but I’m back at it with a new crafty – and super easy – idea.

I stay busy as a wife and mother, and I wear a lot of hats, including Parent Teacher Association (PTA) board member, Women’s Junior League member and more. As co-chair of Wine and Design, an interest group for my local Early Childhood PTA, I help organize our monthly get-togethers. They are very casual -- our group of moms comes together to enjoy wine and talk shop about decorating.

Lately I’ve noticed that as the nights grow longer and the days shorter, it gets harder to find the right house for the event! And let’s face it -- GPS only gets you so far, which leaves navigation up to good ol’ night vision. More than once I have driven up and down a street trying to read house numbers in the dark. Then it dawned on me: why not make a yard sign to help attendees find the right place? ...read more

From Lemonade Stands to Neighborhood Events, These Banners Will Keep You “Green”

 

I always joke that when you turn into our neighborhood, you've entered the 1950s. We have children playing in the streets and many neighborhood events and gatherings. What I've noticed lately is that with all the events we have going on (lemonade stands, neighborhood association meetings, Friday meet and greets, rummage sale, etc.), we have a real need for signage that can be reused throughout the year, something that looks a little more polished than the spray painted sheets or plywood that everyone uses currently. ...read more
