cards for elie

Our friend, Elie, asked us to print her up some cards. Her friend, Patrice, designed them.

Elie chose a nice blue laid paper by Neenah. Neenah offers recycled content and sustainably harvested paper that will be showcased again in our next blog post...

We got to play around with die-cutting again! This project was a little more of a challenge with the registration. There was only a margin of a millimeter around the black border.

These should drum up business nicely. In addition to her superb abilities in proofreading and editing, Elie is also a talented musician. You can listen to her music here. I am off now to draw her a show card for her next performance at the Jade Lounge!

Whew! What a busy week.

First, I just have to mention how nice it is to have a grocery store within walking distance! It's not the New Seasons we had hoped for, but we're happy to welcome our little Grocery Outlet to the neighborhood. We were all set to make some Chicken Alfredo for dinner, when we realized that although we did buy chicken yesterday when we went to New Seasons, we did not buy any pasta, heavy cream, or parmesan cheese! So, we walked over to Grocery Outlet. Let me just say I have never been to a Grocery Outlet before, so I was surprise to see that the "dairy" aisle contained such things as cheese and crackers, cheese spread in a can, and cheese flavored snacks... but no actual dairy products.The motto of Grocery Outlet is "Overshop. Underspend." How American is that?!

Anyways, check out our new type cabinet! We got a heckuva deal on it, and we just had to borrow our friends' truck to move it.

A lot, but not all, of the assortrements in the photo came with it.

We can finally unstack our type cases for the last time! There are slots to hold our galley trays, and our extra rollers tuck away nicely in the slots on the left. Our studio is starting to look like one!
