How I create text for cards... It's all about my girlfriends!

Honey, if life was fair, men would have varicose veins... 
and know what it's like to wear a thong!  
Oy!  Happy Birthday!

Whenever I'm creating a greeting card for licensing consideration or for my on-line store, I don't think BIG!  What I mean is that instead of trying to guess what will appeal to a millionty people, try to reflect what would I send to a my girlfriends, sisters or my Mom and a more diverse group there could not be!  And what do ya' know, those are usually the cards that work best!  Would you send this card?  Would love it if ya' left a comment here, on facebook or private message moi!  Thanks!  

If life were fair... A design option...

I'm often trying to update or as I say, freshen up my cards design style without straying from my very clean look.  I like to let the image and words breath so I don't fill up with too much design.  Accessories yes, too much design; no.   I thought I'd try a bit of coordinating striping.  Hhhhhmmm.  

To see more cards click on by my on-line store and it DOES NOT cost a cent to click on a card, read and give it a few stars if you like it but it does wonders for my lil' ol' ego!
Until then, air kisses!
