the Pooh

Here is the Pooh otherwise known as Julia otherwise known as my daughter otherwise known as THE MOST FABULOUS KID IN THE WORLD (really, get in line if you have a #2). Anyways THIS is ONE of the fabulous things she does:

blue silks

She loves doing this stuff. She does not love college. (BUT SHE IS ALMOST DONE!!).  Anyways, she is going on a big trip this summer (more on that later) and I am helping her design 2 sets of business cards, one for aerial and one for her jewelry.  This site, http://us.moo.com/ , allows you to put any number of different photos on your cards without any additional charge. So I have been changing up these black and white photos for the back of cards and you pick different colors for the front of each:

turquoise silks

I do not have photoshop or anything fancy but I can crop and retouch and change colors etc etc.:

orange silks

and I can do this kind of stuff:

weird black and white

and this:

kind of sepia (I have to take out that blurry line across the top)

I love doing this project. It makes my heart explode and brings tears to my eyes. I was not a very good mom when she was young. I was single and kind of wild and I had/have lots of "loss" baggage which got/gets in the way. I couldn't wait for her to go away to college. Now I cannot see her enough, do enough, be enough for her, as if I am making up for all that lost love I could have had. But I have to tread lightly b/c it is not her job, and never was her job, to fill me up. 

So my friends:

1.) what do you think of the cards?

2.) got any other ideas what to do with these photos?

3.) I also use Picasa so that is available

4.) do you have a a business card site that you have used and like that isn't a fortune

Thanks for stopping by!
