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.
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."
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.
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.
"just a little of gratitude or joy goes a long way. It has the ability to expand and shift your entire life."
besides workin', it's also been been a...
weekend bbqin'...
outdoor hikin'...
smoothie makin'...
salad makin'...
hat wearin'...
summer drinkin'...
new recipe tryin'...
workin' out...
outdoor music listenin'...
...summer kind of days.
i'm so glad it's only june, 'cause that means there is still more summer days ahead of us.
hope you're enjoying your summer days so far...
...and all the yummy summertime drinks!
a quote by Kenny Chesney:
"it's a smile, it's a kiss, it's a sip of wine... it's summertime!"
it's always a treat getting to see the pieces i've designed in it's actual setting. here are a few shots of the wedding menu and place cards i designed for scott & lori's wedding, which complimented the design of their
wedding invitations really well.
well actually, that's what they said!
more quotable cards just added to the "in a card" Etsy
shop.

i love this...

possible can be done immediately
we're already working on the impossible
but please allow 48 hours for miracles
i think this saying would make for a great backdrop for the studio or better yet, for the front door entrance!
came across this lovely quote today and thought i'd share...
a quote by ovid:
"fortune and love favor the brave."
i think it makes for a great mantra!
i turned my
3 card casino invite into a single, more economical, version for a soon to be 21-year-old, hayley. i was able to fit all the party info on one card but still keep the small size of the invitation so it doesn't lose it's almost life like version of an actual playing card.
feel free to
contact me if you are interested in purchasing these invitations.
