Why Birthday Cards Still Matter in a Digital World
Even in the age of texts and social media, birthday cards remain a heartfelt tradition. There's something special about receiving a tangible card—one that someone took the time to choose, write, and send. Whether it's funny, sentimental, or completely personalized, a birthday card can brighten someone's entire day.
If you’re looking for a card that stands out, Zazzle offers a stunning collection of customizable birthday cards for every recipient and style.

Artist Spotlight
Over my last couple post I have talked
about and given you links to some great sites on the internet where you could
find inspiration for your own card making and scrap booking projects but
looking back this might not have been as useful as it could have been for some
of you. Because so many of the sites are quite large and all are stuffed full
of great images, tips and free stuff I might have overwhelmed some of you, I am
sorry.
Instead of giving you post that try to
cover every great website that I find on the internet, I am going to be
narrowing the focus a little my posts on just one artist or holiday or occasion
at a time. Let me know what you thing or which you prefer by leaving a comment.

My first artist in the spotlight is Pixie.
Pixie is a very talented artist as can be
seen by the images in this post, which are just a tiny selection of her huge
range of colourful photography and psychedelic fractal art that she creates. Fractal
art is not my thing but I am always drawn in to look every time she publishes
one of her psychedelic images, I always come away inspired by the way Pixie has
used patterns and colours.
Pixie started her Cambridge based business
in 2007 called Pix and Mix, they specialise in website design, graphics, photography,
video making and editing as well as business management and education
consultancy. They can be found a www.pixandmix.org.uk
I know that my words are not good enough to give Pixie the credit she deserves
so why not have a look at her art by following the links below.

Grandparents Day
8th of September is grandparents
day, a day to remind us to let us show our grandparents how much we appreciate
them for all that they have done for us. It is hard to put into words all what
grandparents do for us and it is different for each of us even between
siblings.
Their houses are adventure playgrounds
filled with the coolest stuff; they seam to have a never ending supply of
chocolate and candy. When you are hungry they make food that is way more tasty
than what you get at home and of course there is always desert.
Grandparents know the best stories and
games and will let you play all day long. They do not have silly rules like bed
time, you go to bed when you are ready to sleep and if you can stay awake you
can stay up. The few rules that they do have are actually fun to follow.
It is almost like grandparents are kids in
grown up bodies, they are kids with power. When mum and dad say NO,
grandparents will usually say YES or they will give you something better. Grandparents
are the best friends you can have.
So keep them on your side and let them know
that you love them on Grandparents day after all they are the only people you
know that can tell mum and dad that it is their bed time.

Greeting Card Inspiration on Twitter
Following on from my last post this time I will be looking
at finding inspiration on the social network site Twitter. At first look social
network sites can be a bit overwhelming, from how you set up your account with
followers or groups, circles of friends, family or others. Then there is how
you interact on the site and what type of language is acceptable, even if upper
case letters are classed as shouting. Once you have got past all the tech stuff
they all break down the same way and that is the people using them.

The first type of people that use social network sites only
want to interact with their friends, family and colleagues. Most of these
people believe that the internet is for their own privet use and get quite
upset even hostile when they find out that strangers can “listen in on their
privet conversation posted on the internet!”. Avoid these people like the
plague.

The next group of people take the social network sites on
face value, they accumulate friends or followers and they like to share what
they have found on the internet. These people can be a great resource of
inspiration but are erratic in the subject matter that they deliver, be careful
some of their friends or followers will fit into the category above.
The next group are companies that are hoping to grow their
brand and interaction with customers. Some companies are a source of
inspiration in of them self’s, while others share inspiration of others. Companies
tend to have quite a narrow area of inspiration but a very rich one as they
have lots of money and people to invest in it.
The last group of people are artists; some of them only
share their own art which in its self can be a great source of inspiration but
many of them not only share their own art but the art of others as well. This
can be a great source of inspiration on a wide number of subjects and styles. Best
of all, many of the artists below are willing to share your art with their
followers if only you interact with them, once you have got your inspiration
back that is.
On twitter if people want others that are not following them
to find their tweets (posts) they use an hash tag # like #Birthday, #art,
#photo or #Christmas. If you want to find tweets on a subject then just type in
what you are looking for. On twitter you only have 140 characters per tweet so
the search results are targeted unlike some sites where you can add a thesaurus
of tags that have nothing to do with the post.

Seriously if you want to know what Twitter can do for you
then following the above people will give you a great insight as to what
Twitter can do and the inspiration it can bring. Do not be mislead by how many
followers the above accounts have, because of the power of Re-Tweets most of
the above people have their tweets seen by hundreds of thousands of people every
day and some of them number in the millions.
