business card stash.

I still can't get over that I was able to go to Bloggy Boot Camp earlier this month.  I learned so much about me and my blog and what I want for it.  I didn't think I would get so much out of it!

Not to mention all the wonderful people and bloggers that I met, like Denise, Kim & Jenny (to name just a few!)

And practically everyone had a business card to pass out and trade.  I came home with a wonderful stack.  I don't know about you but I love looking at everyone's cards and seeing what they designed or created.

Here are some fun-shaped ones! There were lots of mini cards!

Here's one that made and sewed on her card like me!

I loved the colors on these ones!

These ones had fun pictures and designs!

I wish i could highlight them all but I seriously got like 50 or so.

What do you like in business cards?  The colors?  Texture?

PS-yes I am back from vacationing.  I haven't even touched my blog since i've been gone so I still need to do some changes.  :)  Thanks for sticking around!  I hope your summer has been fun-filled and chaotic like mine!

handmade business cards.

These are fun & easy business cards that will have people talking...

Just pretend I didn't just write that...haa ha I am on QVC or something...

anyways...You don't have to spend a forutne to order some and wait weeks to get some!  

Make  your own business cards!

The night before Bloggy Bootcamp, I realized I didn't have any business cards to pass out to other bloggers and participants.  I knew that it would be a great opportunity to share my blog with others so I got thinking...

I opened up a simple word document and formatted it horizontally so I could fit 12 cards on one sheet and not have to worry about cropping the sides.  Then I got to work.

Next I printed the sheet on a 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock 

Next I used my trusty sewing machine.  Pick a thread color you want.  I used a salmon color.

I lined it up on my paper and sewed straight down to the bottom.  I did that 3 times on the page.

Next I started cutting out my cards.  First was the columns...

Next was the rows...

And wha-la!

Really digging out these turned out.  I love the "zig-zag" or "chevron" or whatever you want to call it...

To hold them in one place, I used a coin purse I got from Freshly Picked.

And I was ready to go.  What a great day.  

There will be more on Bloggy Bootcamp soon.  Hopefully soon right?  

I want to also show you guys some of my favorite business cards I got too!  

And because of all the great knowledge from it, my blog is under construction.  I've got big plans for it so things might be chaotic around here while I figure stuff out!

I'll be linking HERE.

Congrats Amy!!  Please get back with me so I can find out what you want and where to ship it!

Thanks guys for playing.  It's so fun to meet new people here!

Summer is here.

Summer has officially begun in my household.

Daughter has graduated preschool.

Routine is out the window.

I have spray paint all over my hands.

and now, I am preparing a vacation with my family.

Next week, we'll be heading to UT.  I'll be there with the kids for about 2 weeks.  My hubby will only stay for 5 days and then back to work.

But I have lots to prepare before I leave.  I want to finish my bunk beds so that when my parents drive me back, there will be extra beds for them to sleep in.

My husband is participating in our small town's big Founder's Day weekend at the end of the month and guess who is in charge of all the planning?

ME.

So I have to do all that before we leave.

OH and I am trying to organize a 5k to help raise funds for Clara...before I leave...

So what i'm saying is this month, I might be MIA.  

I will hopefully get Thrifty THursdays up but not at 1:00 AM like I usually schedule them.

But I hope as your summer vacation begins, that you have fun, soak up some sun (where ever it is?!?) and STAY SAFE!
