what i’ve been working on…
Obviously I’m a horrible blogger (and too many of my posts begin like this, so obviously I’m an annoying blogger as well) . . . but here is what I’ve been up to. Through my freelance I’ve gotten to work on some just fun-fun-fun stuff, and I can’t express how awesome it is to feel creative and create things I really like again.
Sorry the business cards are blurry, but I am trying to avoid putting my cell phone and address that blatantly on the internets. Although I’m sure people can find them relatively easy anyway. Oh well. Anyway, I got them printed by Vistaprint. YOu really just can’t beat them for price, and the quality is about 90% (just some small white edges on the solid brown in the cut) but overall I am pleased. For being on a small budget they definitely do the job.
The Christmas cards were a cross between love and hate. I Loved doing it, but I hated that I felt guilty because I spent probably about 10 hours total on the whole project, and I beat myself up saying that I should working. But I got to far to turn back. I’m not sure I’ll do it again next year, I might just have to buy some instead of doing it myself. I love how these turned out but it was exhausting!
The gathering band piece in particular is special to me because they are my friends, I took the photography and designed the post card. There are three other designs and I’m not sure which they’ll pick but that one is my favorite.
Dave Van Buskirk’s CD cover art has been a great process as well. It’s not totally finished, but getting to do corresponding web graphics has been so fun! Another photoshoot I did was for a family in our church, but it is a surprise gift so I can’t post till after Christmas.
It is snowy and icy here…. sort of sunny though, pretty. I will post some pics tomorrow!!
I'd love it if you subscribed to my RSS feed.

Nice Christmas card. That little gem embellishment in the center really sets everything off.
Another good place for printing is 4by6.com, especially their satin, which we used for our business cards. Everyone comments on the quality and feel, but I feel a little guilty because I had wanted to go more environmentally friendly.
