B cards

Why do I love business cards? I might be a little crazy. But seriously, after college, it made me feel like a big girl to carry them around and trade them with high school friends when we were home for Thanksgiving. And now, why do I love them? They are so tiny and cute! And if I'm giving them to someone, it means I'm meeting someone new, which is something I love to do. And, potentially, am finding a new customer, which is becoming more important as I try to get into the sales game. Also, my kids just started a new school, which means I met lots of new moms and I wanted to be able to quickly give out info.
So, I've ordered a TON of them recently. And am SO sad about not being in love with any of them. I ordered "mom" cards from vistaprint which have my name and say "mom to Nash and Margot" and they're cute. But the two that break my heart are both from Tiny Prints. I love Tiny Prints! Or maybe I don't. These things are just, well, tiny!

After spending way too much money on little cards, I made my own. I knew I could make my own, but honestly, I just thought I wanted something professionally done and I was sure to love. I'm not going to say I like mine better, but I like them! I rounded the corners on mine, I like the bold graphic, I like that it's not hard to read. I like em. That's it. I even thought about rounding the corners on the Tiny Prints cards! But I won't. I'll just feel triumphant in my quest to make a fun little business card. And I won't spent gobs of money at Tiny Prints or Iomoi again. I guess that's why I keep making things - I usually like what I make better!
