Save Time and The Environment With ECards

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Life – It is so much busier and more hectic now than ever. There has always been the need to burn the midnight oil to get things done, but over those last few decades life in general has become crammed and this has resulted in people being forgetful, this can include remembering to purchase and send birthday presents and greeting cards.

When it comes to the purchasing of cards there is now new form of technology available online from katiescards.com which allows people to send friends, family and loved ones cards through the internet, which can help to save time, money and effort. This new technology is called ecards.

We set ourselves a challenge to create a St Patricks Day E card that did not feature a leprechaun this year, so we opted for Saint Patrick himself appearing in a cheeky way as an illuminated manuscript:

We are sure sure Saint Patrick would have liked the occasional Guinness, so hopefully it will not be viewed as being disrespectful.

My Mother’s Day Memories

Saturday, March 6th, 2010

It makes me smile to think that during my infant years, when my mother’s mothering was it its most intense, I was at my most oblivious. But a few years on, as a little girl testing my independence, I hope I made up for it with handmade gifts and wobbly dishes of sugary treats.

The night before, my father might come home with a bunch of flowers elaborately hidden beneath his coat, which he then smuggled into a vase. It was my cue to set to work in my bedroom, surrounded by card, ribbon and glue, waiting for inspiration to strike and my creation to take shape.

Looking forward to the Easter Holidays

Easter weekend is a great time for family and friends to get together. A long weekend just as the weather is beginning to change, flowers are in bloom and the smell of spring is in the air. As you may have guessed, I’m quite a fan of the Easter break!

We like to try and capture this mood in the Easter e cards and feel we have had some success with our previous efforts. What next? Well, a new card is in the pipeline. We feel it’s important to add to the Easter ecard selection as they have proved to be very popular.
