Card Frenzy

Just so you know, I am still patiently waiting for my student teaching placement. I thought that I would have it by now... apparently not. No one has received theirs. Anyway, last Saturday I went to a surprise baby shower for someone who was in my cohort. I, of course, had to put a homemade cards with her present. That was the wrong decision (not really). Everyone freaked out over my card. It was just three pieces of paper with a cute giraffe stamp. While everyone was ogling over my card, I mentioned that my sister and I wanted to make cards and sell them. One classmate said she wanted Christmas cards. So...

Wendi and I decided to make up a few prototypes. I brought them to class and she bought 40! Becca bought 10 and another one of my classmates (Bev, who wasn't at the shower) wanted other types of cards. So, she is looking at a variety pack. All that happened Tuesday. Now, Bev's daughter wants to see birth announcements! Wendi and I are both excited because we can do something awesome and make money for it. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I can send some pictures of prototypes or let you see them in person!
To the right is a baby shower announcement. It could also be used for a birth announcement. We used this for Karen's baby shower and it was a huge hit!

Hey, Emily, it's Louise. I'm trying to email some stuff to Wendi, but I think I have the wrong address? Can I get it from you?

So Cool!! I remember the announcement for Karen's baby shower and I LOVED it. I think I even kept it for an idea. Jill and I have been trying to set up the same type of business, but it is hard when you are far apart. It is a GREAT idea!! People are willing to pay for cuteness when they don't have time to create the cuteness!!
