Valentines Day - Give a Little More Love

Valentines Day is fast approaching. The day the world celebrates with romantic words, sentiments and sometimes special gifts. A day to show your spouse, partner or significant other, in perhaps an extra special way how much you love and care for them. The sentiments carry on to those special people in your life like parents, grandparents, and your children. Sometimes to special friends and teachers too! Approximately 1 billion Valentines cards are sent on this occasion. Not to mention how many roses are sold on this day! Here you'll find some of the Valentines designs from my store.

Get Noticed with New Business Cards

Perhaps your business design is getting a little stale and your tired of handy out boring cards. Well one way to get yourself and your business recognized and noticed is to hand out some stylish, new business cards. A fresh, new look just might keep your business on people's minds. It's also still one of the most effective ways to promote a business. I thought I'd feature 'Strawberry Designs' on business cards. Some are designed by myself and others by various artists. Just click on the one that you'd like to view to see upclose and view the back of card as well.

I've been working hard on new designs for my store. Along with some new ideas for business cards I've been busy creating fruit and veggie designs. Strawberries, watermelon and my latest tomatoe designs. These I've used to make cute t-shirts, postage for spring and summer, delightful mugs and other interesting gift items.

Princess and Pirate Birthday Parties

Birthday party themes have been on my mind again so I've been busy designing some cute ideas for princess parties and pirate parties. These seem to be popular themes with kids ages 4 to 12 years old. I came up with a fabulous princess cake design and of course a magical wand. Every princess should have one of these for sure! I've been designing birthday invitations, goodie bag favours like stickers, magnets and buttons. For the pirates I created cool invitations, along with buttons and stickers too. Below you'll see some of my creations, for more come by my store Designs by Shell to see other ideas.

Motivation

A New Year has begun! Here we are in 2011, what does this year hold for us we all wonder! Are you one of those people who like to make resolutions? I prefer to set goals and make plans rather than do the resolution thing. It is good to take note and review what you want your year to look like and then begin moving in that direction. We all need a little motivation and encouragement and that's what pushed me to write a lens on 'Motivational Office Products and Sayings' and then design some motivational posters, mugs and business cards to go along with it! I also found these really neat posters on Amazon, where you can purchase a whole set! Here are some of the ones I've been creating, you can view other motivational items in my store.

Unique iPad and iPhone Cases

Recently Zazzle introduced some new products for us to design. A couple of the latest ones are iPad cases and iPhone 3 and iPhone 4 cases. Now there is no excuse to have just a plain black case unless of course you simply like black cases. I’ve been designing some pretty cool looking iPad cases with abstract and striped designs as well as some florals and ‘green’ designs. Some modern and trendy looks for the young and older crowd.

This first one is a grape coloured link design with a soft mauve background and the second one is a blue and chocolate link design with a soft blue background.

Here are a couple of my iPhone 3 cases that I designed. Stripes seem to be popular!

Invitations For Special Occasions

This time of year you’re probably getting ready to either host or attend holiday and Christmas parties. Traditional invitations that you hand out or mail are a fun way to invite your guests. I know some of you are thinking an e-mail invite is fine but really we all like to get an invitation that we can get excited about. The look you choose can really set the theme or mood for your party guests. Here are a couple that I think would be great.  These are totally customizable too!

Birthday parties are still going on in December too, so here are a few of my popular designs. Some would be great for kids and some for adult birthday parties. These can be customized as desired.

Here are a couple that are suitable for kids and adults!

Well I hope these get you inspired for your next party! I have lots more designs under the invitation category in my store. Pop by to see more. Designs by Shell
