on business cards

I want to scream right now. I have been playing all morning/afternoon online trying to figure out my business card design. I think I have mentioned before, but if not, here goes. I AM NOT COMPUTER SAVVY. At all. Liz pretty much does everything for me. Thank the Lord.

But today I wanted to be a little independent. I tweeted asking for website advice, and couldn't have been luckier with all my responses. When I tried out each site however, I was not successful.

So I decided to share with YOU all what I think works. This does not mean I know what's best. But for beginners, here is a little of my insight.

-make sure your photos are the right size before you upload them.
-try switching up designs
-do not settle for less
-always check for spelling errors
-choose a font that's going to be EASY to read
-pick colors that accent your own style
-don't punch the keyboard, it will get you nowhere
-breathe
-go to moo.com

THE END.

All other websites drove me insane. This isn't to say that they're no good... I am sure that they are amazing. But moo.com has just saved my life, and my sanity.

I open shop November 11th, and I couldn't be more excited/nervous/anxious/scared.

Love love love,
Shawni Marie
