I just wanted to share this little card that I made today with the help of my husband. It is simple, but cute.
I was tired of not being able to navigate the programs myself! In the past, I would come up with designs and he would create them for me for different things. Now, I am learning to make them on my own using the programs.
This card is for a friend/neighbor in my neighborhood who gave birth to her second son about 2 weeks ago. I am pulling together her custom basket and this card will go inside. I picked up the card stock to print it on earlier this evening.
I am excited about designing more things on my own by actually bringing my design concepts to the screen!

Kristy....SUPER cute and great choice of colors...I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the splashes of orange.
Oooooo, excellent graphic and font choices. Did you start from a blank page and work from there or was this a ready-made with
fill-ins? Either way, I'm jealous of your skills---! And isn't it a wonderful feeling seeing the work of your eyes/hands bless someone in such a way---share the basket when you are finished.
PS...Soror, girl, at first I thought that was your
annoucement---I was getting ready to cheer and scream---:)
I like. Wish I had a clue about how to design using the computer.
Don't get us excited. I thought this was news about your adoption.
Nakira,
Thanks girl. I was really trying to have that orange, blue and brown there.

Thank you. Yes, I started with a blank screen and designed it with the much needed assistance of my husband who is teaching me the different programs so that I can design my own things and not just tell him what I want and he does it.
Yes, it is a wonderful feeling to see my thoughts on screen. I should have the basket completed by the end of this week hopefully.
You are too funny! I will have to think of a creative way to post it when the time comes! I didn't even think about that when I posted this!
We are still waiting....it is all good. There is plenty to do and I have some other things on my plate. You know what I mean. Adoption is what it is and I am not trying to rush anything. This is not like returning something that you don't like! Its a lifetime commitment.
KMR,
You are funny too! You guys were thinking that I was secretly posting our placement! I haven't figured out how I am going to do it, but it will be a post. I will not leaving you hanging for too long when that time comes!
I am learning to navigate the programs and design things with my DH assistance. I always have the concept, but I had no idea of how to just get up there and design as he does. It will be a process, but it is something that I have wanted to do now for a couple of years so that I could create my own things instead of telling him how I want it done.
I am sure that he will be glad when I can do it also 100% on my own!
Oh yeah, I will definitely have a new blog upon the placement to mark a new beginning and also to have better controls.
I would not leave you all out there hanging when a placement occurs. I will definitely let my known faithful followers know of the new location.
So cute! I see an etsy card shop in your future!
Hey Alisa!
Girl, we could have had a shop a long time ago if my husband would take the time to post all of his freelance custom designs. He is actually working on a webpage to put his things on in his spare time.
Until then, I am making my own stuff and may just put some things up once I have about 20 different things or more. He has a ton of stuff and does mostly custom to order for designs.
too cute
Looks awesome! Great gob.
