Thank you all for your comments on the business card. That image in the post is of my actual business card right now, the one I’m replacing. I’ve got a lot of ideas to work with here.

Drew, my oldest son is currently my photographer -lol- unless you’re coming over here to help out I’m not sure I know any photo-savvy folks nearby LOL

Once I get a new pic and think of something to include as a tagline or job title I’ll post again with the new design before I actually order it.

Hi Loretta! Just now saw your tweet.

Your business card is pretty I think, but you do have the same issue as Michelle Obama. She’s not an angry person (so I’ve heard) but the way her stylist was plucking her eyebrows gave her an arched look and many people felt she came across as “looking angry.” I’m assuming that you like me, do not have a stylist nor do we need one (so there!). I like your pic but as Drew points out it isn’t saying what you wish it to say. In my opinion the colouring is reinforcing what could be construed as a somber or reflective (that’s what I see) mood.
I don’t really like big, cheesy smiles on anyone but children but if you do redo your pic you might consider a slightly warmer tone both in colour and in facial expression.
Best of luck to your son and hubby!
Cyn

I love the cards, they are gorgeous, but I think a pic of you smiling would be much more inviting

I agree that your photo does not look like you are happy. I think it conveys a somber mood. You are a dynamic person (all the things you do online are pretty amazing) and your photo should reflect that. I'd get a friend who is good with a camera and just go out and take shots all day under different situations and just be fun and natural and you'll get a great one for your card. as far as info. I think that much looks squished. I'd also go with Moo cards they are awesome (business car size) and make an impression. BenSparks last blog post..Saying Goodbye to Grandma Theresa

WOW! I think I should have you design my next set of business cards!

Nah, I don’t think you look angry. I do have a question… are you going to be using the back of the card as well?
