Our Humble Sponsors: June

On the first official day of summer, let’s take a minute to thank you fabulous sponsors.

A few weeks ago, I placed an order with Vistaprint, for new business cards.  I looked at other places including FedEx Office and Moo, but no one (not even printing and cutting myself) could come close to Vistaprint’s premium deal.  After designing my cards in Photoshop, I saved my file as a .pdf, uploaded it and placed my order.

I just got my cards last week and I’m happy with the product.  I wish I could have gotten a back design like Moo offers, but for the quality and pricing, I’ll let it slide.  (No, I wasn’t paid or perked to say this.  I paid for the cards with my own money.)

Do you recognize the header above?  Yep, Chris Loves Julia is a humble sponsor again!   I read their blog daily, following along with their studio progress has been so fun.   How fun is this 3D wall quote?

Get inspired by their blog projects or add original art to you home, straight from their Etsy shop.
