Funny Font Cartoon

I just went through an experience similar to this with a font I was working on, so I think this is particularly funny. The cartoon links to a fun font called Janda Stylish Script created by Kimberly Geswein.

Back to School!

Send your favorite flower-loving student a card that encourages their doodling talents as they head back to school this fall.

Doodling is actually a very productive past-time. Study finds doodling aids in concentration

I'm Back! :)

For the past few months I've been dealing with chemo and radiation treatments as well as the after-effects (pain, fatigue, etc). But my cancer is in remission (YAY!), so I'm finally trying to get back on this blogging horse. Hopefully I won't fall off again.

Anyhow, I also just opened a MySoti store. They sell lampshades, apparel, and artwork. I created my first lampshade today. :) And here it is:
MySoti - ilovecuttables - 'Bold Pointillism Designed, Floral Lampshade'- Lampshade

Update: I found out in September that the cancer wasn't in remission, after all. It had been misdiagnosed and under-treated. :-(

Happy Fourth of July!!!!

I really LOVE today's Google Doodle! It inspires us to work and play together. :)

Three Inkscape Videos by CutTwoPieces

Carolyn shows how to make radial tiled clones in this video (very useful for many projects including the knot designs).

Carolyn shows us the basics of making knot designs in Inkscape.

Carolyn shares more tips on knot designs in this second part of her series.

April is Stress Awareness Month

This short monologue by Ellen DeGeneres does a great job of summarizing April as Stress Awareness month.


And here is a good summary of how to cope with stress.

Zip It!

Very cool Gideon Sundback Google Doodle. Hope you don't miss it, but in case you do...here's a YouTube recording of it.

Quite an Honor!

Happy Earth Day a little early everyone (it's April 22, 2012), and be sure to visit Anne's wonderful blog!

Best Seller's List

I try not to post my own cards too often, but I'm going to do just that right now. I'm so proud that one of my cards made Greeting Card Universe's Best Seller's List recently! It is this Happy Norooz Card that celebrates the Persian New Year (March 21st). It won't be selling many more until 2013, so I'm going to post two more cards next to it that I created recently, and I hope will also reach the level of Best Sellers. :) The first is a funny "Easter Egg Humor" card, and the second is a witty "Get Well After Back Surgery" card. You can click on any of the cards to see what the inside says. :)

Callie!

My niece is pretty darn special, so I created her name in my own special design. :) I want her to know about it, so I'm posting it here. By the way, Callie, I'm nominating you for the Best Sister Award, too! You're mom is my sister, but you're the one I'm giving the award to on behalf of your siblings. ;) Lots of love from your Aunt Cindy. :)

March 1st Face Since I Missed February 1st

I'm adding one more face since I missed doing one on February 1st when the 29 Faces Project began. But this one's my last for this challenge, I promise. ;)

I've seen some interesting 'sugar skull' images recently out there on the internet, so I thought I'd try my hand at one. It's not very good, but it's my challenge for today, so.... oh well.
