FREE Business Cards

I know! I can hardly believe it myself! These little beauties were 

FREE!

Don't you LOVE it when a project turns out better than you expected?!?!

Today I was on the hunt for free printable business cards (on pinterest, of course!) and couldn't find anything that was perfect...other than being free, that is. I decided to raid my craft stash drawer for inspiration. Recycling / upcycling is our way of life! Unfortunately...the stash pile racks up daily. Fortunately! I had quite a bit of nice things to choose from for this project. 

It started out like this

I used the covers of the big books of card stock I am always buying for other projects (I KNEW THEY WOULD COME IN HANDY SOME DAY!) for the actual cards. I chose this particular pattern from my cricut cartridge splish splash. I used pieces of scrap papers / gift bags / greeting cards for the back layer for the cutout, I printed out my name and information on used copy paper and the twine was from some box or gift I received and had been saving...Prob for THIS! 

I am SO proud of how they turned out! I promise NO one will have business cards like these...or yours!

A few tips you will need...

Go ahead and print out / cut out everything you need. This actually took the most time. 

Spray adhesive works best but is the messiest. It isn't wet and dries beautifully! Because it is messy I suggest you do it outside (my office has bits of sticky stuff on everything). A very light coating will go a long way. Try to work with 5 cards at a time, have everything set out for it and spray all 5 items at once. Assemble as you complete each spraying. 

Never let your Mr. Who see you in the middle of the project as you are telling him how stinkin' proud of yourself you are for coming up with your FREE business cards by using ALL recycled material you HAVE ON HAND. My Mr. Who smiled his cute little smile and said "You used the spray adhesive?" Well that wasn't recycled". REALLY? Now I HAVE to come up with a clever way of doing that too! Not that I will ever use it but just to prove him wrong! LOL! 

Next best thing...I / you could use these for just about anything! 

Gift tags

Love notes to your loved ones

the possibilities are endless!

Your Business cards don't have to be like everyone else's. It makes you and your business stand out. Hopefully the recipient of my business cards will use them as gift tags and pass along my information to another lucky soul. 

Have a Lou~Who kind of day!

Do You Know What I LOVE About Thursdays?

EVERYTHING! 

Mostly because it gives me another beautiful Florida day to create something fun and special!

Check out Chloe's Birthday Monogram Sign! 

Chloe is the dog of a very special young lady, she asked me to come up with something fun and personal for her Chloe's 3rd birthday party. 

It fit the bill PERFECTLY!

It makes me SO happy when I get to see the reaction of the recipient of something I have created. 

How cool is it when a sheet of paper can change something SO dramatically! All I did was add a sheet of black paper to the back of the piece and I LOVED the effect! By the way....Isn't that the most ADORABLE octopus you have ever seen?!?! 

Happy 3rd Birthday Chloe! 

Allie Sparkles, Thank you for sharing your pictures with us!

Use Everyday Items To Make AmAZinG Things!

When I say "My Mom is GAGA over these necklaces" I don't mean she likes them. I mean she CAN"T GET ENOUGH OF THEM! 

They are classy, fun, dress up or dress down necklaces. She has asked just about EVERY day for "just a few more". She has given them to the very special students at The Arc of St. Johns (A very Special School check them out here :), anyone with a birthday, she has to have them in ALL colors to wear with each outfit, changed the chains to dress up or down. She honestly CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM! Makes me kind of proud! 

These darlings are available for sale on my BRAND NEW ETSY SHOP!!!! 

Check me out at Heatherslouwho Etsy

Can you guess what they are? Clothes pin centers! How adorable is that?!?! 

If you would like to see a tutorial you are going to have to ask!

So stinkin' cute and really easy to do! 

And another thing....They ADORE this girl! For Father's Day We took some Chalk we have laying around the house (I think EVERYONE with kids does) and drew love notes on our drive way, threw the kids down on the concrete and used my iphone to capture the fun (just kidding! they laid down willingly!). We framed it with a simple little frame we probably had laying around and it was his "Best gift I ever received in the whole world Father's Day gift". His EXACT words! 

Papa Ron is ONE LUCKY MAN!

I have to get better kids!

Seriously! Sometimes just getting there is the MOST fun! 

Just another example of how everyday items can be used for amazing things! 

I would love for you to share your AmAZinG everyday projects! 

Have a Lou~Who kind of day!
