I made my own business cards! + Freebie!

First of all, I want to let you know about a sale going on all day Thurday. You can get 40% off at MyGrafico. So if you've had your eye on any of Lindsay's new sets, now is the time to buy! If you haven't seen her new stuff, scroll down!


This week I opted to make something totally different. I needed to make some new business cards for my upcoming craft fair in december. So I used Lindsay's new Bowling Fun Papers to create a fun and colorful business card! I manipulated the papers on my free Paint.net program and then saved the file and opened it in my Microsoft Publisher program to add the text.

Here is the first design I came up with. I was beginning to run out of printer ink, so I altered the design some more and came up with another design which you can see below.

 I acutally like the white design better. What do you think?

Before I hand over your freebie, I wanted to show you Lindsay's other new sets!



If you love these sets, now is the perfect time to buy! The 40% off MyGrafico sale is Thursday only! Don't forget to stop by Lindsay's blog for a freebie!

Now for your freebie! A cute little wagon! I can't wait to make a card with this one!
