Something new...

After filling several sketchbook pages and playing around on Photoshop, I've decided to finally put my graphic design skills to use on Etsy.  I am now offering wedding save the dates, invitations, and thank yous.  These are customized digital files that can be printed via an online company (such as MOO or Vistaprint) or at home.  Only one design is available now, but I have several others that will be ready this week (they just need a bit more finessing before they're ready).

 Postcard save the date

A special thanks to photographer Alex Siebenthal, for allowing me to use her images for the samples!

Come Sail Away

I came across some old postcards a few weeks ago, and now that the craft room is (sort of) set up, I've been working on transforming them into blank note cards.

I started with this postcard of ships in a harbor.  The postmark and message identifies it as Nantucket, Massachusetts.  The postmark is dated August 23, 1927.  

I wanted to add a decorative border to the image, but because of it's age I didn't want to make any permanent changes.  A simple border was cut from scrapbook paper, and glued to cardstock to create a sleeve.

Just slip in the postcard, score the middle, fold, and viola!  A blank card from a vintage postcard.

Once I make a few more of these I'll be listing them on my Etsy.  I'll be sure to post a link once they're officially for sale.  :)

Wish you were here

I found these old postcards today in my scrapbooking boxes:

A few I'd like to keep, but others would make lovely greeting card artwork.  Looks like I have some brainstorming to do in the next couple weeks.
