In the last several weeks I’ve been designing and making notecards. These are cards with a design on the cover and blank inside for the sender to write their notes in. I know, people send emails these days, but there is still value in sending someone a note written in one’s own hand. I know I don’t do so enough.

Notecards also make great gifts when inscribed with the person’s name. Last year when I went hunting for some notecards to send out notes of thanks to people who had helped and been supportive during dad’s illness and death I really couldn’t find any to my liking. I settled for a set more for expediency than because I liked them.

Over the last year or so I’ve also been doing more photography. Taking my camera along and capturing more of my world around me. Somehow, matching  some of those shots to sets of notecards seemed a good match. With a bit of digital playing, I’ve achieved some effects I’m comfortable reproducing for sale on notecards.

Today, I’m releasing a blog which I’ve separated off from Ides of May, called Notecards for You. Stay tuned for more sets to be released.
