welcome to in a card's blog...

i know that "cute" is not a word typically used to describe good design, but in my world, it is. if it's your first reaction to say, "aww... how cute!" then it must be just that! "C-U-T-E." and i'm talking about so incredibly, ridiculously cute that the most masculine of men will even say those three words without thinking twice about it.

and so that is what i hope to share with you on my blog...

a combination of really unique ideas, simple thoughts that come randomly into my mind, along with "cute" designs that i've designed or come across.

photo retouching for days

i always know when sunsets, inc's catalog season is in full effect because my days are consumed with photo retouching bathing suit models and my blog posts become very sparse.  so please excuse me ahead of time.

but, before i dive right back into work (no pun intended), i'm going to leave you with this very funny quote i came across today...

a quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh:

"My passport is one of the most remarkable photographs I have ever seen - no retouching, no shadows, no flattery - just stark me."

i ♥ snail mail!

here is another handwritten thank you note from my 7 year old cousin that I'm completely in love with and had to share with you all...
his spanish intro and barn scene drawing melt my heart. i love the smile and laughter this little note has added to my day.

proud auntie moment

my niece's first full handwritten note...
i thought it was a sweet coincidence that i saw this quote my yoga instructor posted on facebook as i was opening the card.

a quote by mary beth larue:

"just a little of gratitude or joy goes a long way.  It has the ability to expand and shift your entire life."
