More hand-lettering!  I know, I know, you’re saying “geeeez, obsessed much?”.  Why yes, yes I am.  You’ll see as I continue to post things that such obsessions will come in waves.  Right now, it is hand-lettering-turned-graphic-art using the magic computer-box.  This one I was going to use for that wedding card I  mentioned but it seemed to vague.  Fortunately, it can be used for all manner of occasions.  Need a random card for someone on “their day”?  Use this one. +15 versatility

Also in the doomshop!

In true obsessive form, I went a little overboard with the hand-lettering thing and flipped through my sketchbook for more inspiration for greeting cards.  I recently attended a cousin’s wedding and, without having purchased a card (because they were all horrible), I decided a pretty, fliffy-looking hand-lettered card would be better.  Being very unorganized that day (after a full day of travelling), I neglected to tape the card to the box.  Hopefully it will stay on under the ribbon via the magic of static electriciy.  At first I was at a loss because I could NOT think of a single thing that wasn’t “Happy Wedding!” or something just as profound.  I didn’t really come up with anything particularly profound; it actually was inspired by a quote from J.M. Barrie’s Peter Pan.  “To die would be an awfully big adventure”.  Of course, dying is not really appropriate for a wedding card, so I came up with this:

Via the magic of PowerPoint and Paint it turned into these:

They are now available in the doomshop for you to give to your very favorite newlyweds!

 

The doomshop is officially open!  Occasionally I come across a neato doodle in my notebook or picture I’ve taken that someone has asked me to do, or that has caught a friends eye.  Those things are shared with you in the doomshop, where you can put them on things (via Zazzle) to your heart’s content!  I hope you enjoy looking around! 

p.s.  Right now it’s a little sparse, but as I continue with my ridiculous obsession with little projects (my husband is currently shaking his head at me), it will grow.

Enjoy!
