looking for business card inspiration...

just browsing through the moo business card project and kicking myself for not submitting a card...they were offering redesigns for free!  here's a couple of the redesigns that i thought were particularly nice, now to think about how these ideas can be integrated into my b'cards...i'm torn between something illustrated with nice simple lines....but thinking that i should probably make the most of the photos that i have in my etsy shop.  i like how farrell photography have used 1 fab image and created differences across the cards with the colour on the back of the card.  it can be so tempting with moo cards to cram in as many photos as possible into the business card pack simply because you can, but maybe picking 2-3 good ones is the best way to go about it.

in the woods

in terms of places - places being fields, the seaside, mountains....i think woods and rivers are my favourite places to be.  all the calmness and gentleness, and the subtle shades.  and for the stunning views as the sun starts to go down and you get the golden light shining through the leaves. 

a long weekend of making and baking...

i'm in the middle of a long weekend (plus a few days) off and it's lovely to just spend time being creative and cracking on with some of the projects that have been piling up.  so far i've ticked off jewellery orders, new designs (see the keshi pearl bracelet below), making some cork boards with the massive stack of coffee bean sacks i bought (tutorial to come soon), was inspired by jamie oliver and baked my first pie (and more pics of this to come too), repainted the bin of doom.........aaaand painted the kitchen!  one more day off tomorrow so still some time to start a few more projects!
