Just put together another little treat for Thanksgiving!
I found this precious postcard on my antiquing weekend, and decided to create something just for it. I scanned the old postcard, printed it larger and mounted it on foam board (like my Halloween goodie). It is much larger - about 6 1/2" x 10 1/2" - and really cute!!! I already have a few people lined up waiting for their own. I might just be cranking these out.
I love the American flag on the corner and of course the gorgeous turkey. Old postcards really are art. He might be my favorite of all my turkeys! I think this sweet card is pretty unique... it is hard to find vintage Thanksgiving postcards. I've see quite a few Christmas ones... but only this one for Turkey Day. Since Thanksgiving is my favorite, it is a treasure to me.
I've been working on getting my Out of the Box name out there a bit more. Have recently been spending alot of time looking into different advertising venues. I listed myself on several website directories - www.scrapjazz.com is one of them. I am under "Scrapbooker for Hire" or "Custom Scrapbooker." We'll see if I get some traffic my way through them. Sean and I are having a "business meeting" tonight once we put the little man to bed. We have some ideas that we want to think through and get going. I defintely have an appreciation for all small business owners. It is tough.
I've decided that my service is one that most people don't know they need. Folks don't know that there is such a thing as a "custom scrapbooker." I'm trying to think of interesting ways I can get my name out there. Any ideas? Suggestions are always welcome!
