print your own

Sometimes there are a million little design ideas floating around in my head, and just not enough time to bring them into reality! Well, this little idea has been pestering me for a while now, and so the last few days I've been working on some Print Your Own PDF files for personalized note cards. I love the look of fruits and botanicals done in letterpress, but since I don't have one, I've tried to recreate the look digitally. After much searching, I found some great images and by making them monochromatic, I think I've come pretty close. I'm hoping that this will be a low-cost way to get a high-cost look of personalized note cards!

macro mode

Yesterday I finally had a good chunk of time (thanks to my wonderful husband who watched the baby and our new puppy for me!) to take photos of some of my new cards, as well as retake some of my old designs. I have been trying to figure out how to get better pictures, and after reading some good how-to's on Etsy's blog, I discovered "macro mode" on my camera. It is perfect for taking close-ups and something I wish I would have discovered ages ago.
