do you print?

I don't usually print my layouts / projects, but every once in a while there comes a kit that just begs to be printed out and Hipster from Three Paper Peonies is one such kit ...


Not only do you get a layered .psd template to play with, you also get handwritten month and day stamps and 25 wordart stamps such as "fabulous", "best day ever", "fun times" and many more ...


Just create, print & cut ...


Hipster is available exclusively from Three Paper Peonies' store at oscraps.com

I'm just a big kid at heart ...

I still get excited every time it snows and this past week, it's snowed quite a bit around here and it's been proper snow at that ...

 

I've been trying to get into the habit of getting out of the office during my lunch-break at work. Luckily, I work on a well designed business park and they have what they call a "trim trail" that winds it's way around the park and takes in some really quite pretty scenery ...

 

 

 

The snowfall was at it's heaviest on Friday morning, so-much-so that our managing director actually decided to close the office and sent everyone home at 11:30am. This was [and actually still is] the view from my front door ...
 
 

I probably should've brought my yucca plant indoors before it snowed. The plant itself was given to me as a house warming gift 17yrs ago and it's survived all sorts of weather conditions in the past. Here's hoping it makes it through this cold snap too ...
 
 

 

 

Wherever you are in the world, I hope you're warm & cosy (for any northern hemisphere readers) and cool & relaxed (for any southern hemisphere readers).

thank you cards ...

I don't know about you, but I love to receive thank you cards / notes / letters. Sadly, thanks in part to modern technology, I think the tradition of sending thank you cards has almost completely vanished. It's so much easier [& cheaper] to send an email / text / tweet to show your appreciation.

Now don't misunderstand me, there's absolutely nothing wrong with sending your thanks electronically. What's important, is that you say "thank you" in whatever format is best for you. For me, that means creating handmade cards ...


As you can see, they're not fancy. They're just a simple printed card, with a heartfelt message of thanks handwritten on the inside.

What about you, do you send thank you cards / notes / letters?
