Hipster 8 - Aug to Maggie, Mia and Jaylen


This one is pretty simple but I like it - it looks like it happened very fast - which it did - but - I had to do the first 15 to get to a point where I could do this style fast - and like the way it looked.

I pulled out a different exemplar to do this one and I had a whole story that went with it - but, I forgot to write it out - and now I do not remember. I don't even know if I can find that exemplar and do one like this for Meg in Australia....


I was going to put 3 baby animals on Mia's - but it was so much cuter with just the one stamp. So Mia got a bonus this month. 


I'll toss this in - for anyone who is liking this style and thinking about using it.
A friend called me wondering if I could do a quick envelope with a card inside - to put with a present for a recent graduate.
I tossed this off in two minutes.
The little 3-pronged *flowers* are an homage to the CIA logo. CIA is the Culinary Institute of America.
I left space at the bottom for my friend to sign it.

Design tip for writing a note - if you have a t-square - it's really easy to draw lines on paper - and that becomes a design element. I had my friend email me the words she wanted - and then I printed them out so that I could get everything spaced and centered nicely. Note to self - show how I do that in another post.


This concludes the Hipster series. I hope it hasn't been too boring. It might have been more educational to show a better progression of ideas - but that would have taken up more bandwidth than what I have. And I do not even know what bandwidth is, I just know that mine is not adequate.
