Business Cards

How exciting!  For the last few days I have been hyper focussed on creating a new business card.  In the past I have used two local printing companies and, more recently, Vistaprint.  I have a fancy new Mac with all the fancy new software (that I am struggling to learn how to use).  I figured that it wouldn't be a big deal to design my own business card just like the "big guys" - the high-paid graphic designers that I wish I had the money to afford!

I also wanted to create a "Green" Business Card.  Because of my personal beliefs I want to use recycled paper and soy ink.  I have struggled with using Vistaprint because the company seems to be strangely like an internet version of Walmart (wow, I love that analogy - you can quote me on that!).  Even if it costs a little more, I want my business card to reflect my own philosophy of being environmentally friendly.

This is a Jpeg of what I came up with. I actually did this in a pdf format, but it would not upload like that. My actual business card will have rounded corners.

If anyone is interested in where I ordered my cards, email me or give me a call!
