I suppose I should start by saying that "Juice" was a nickname a few of my friends called my in college. So that's where it comes from. It's not to say the details of my life are exceedingly fascinating ... ... ... so now you know.
Anyway, in an effort to get the word out about my humble little blog, I figured I needed a card to give people. Especially since the url isn't too simple or catchy.
So here they are:
Cute, no?
I'm thinking they should probably be more of a designer's "business" card at some point, but for now they'll serve their purpose. And they're a good use for tiny little scraps of fabric.
I'm weirdly proud of them and simultaneously a little embarrassed by them. It's sort of like shouting out to the world "please read my diary!" Um, does anyone care?
So now I have to get the nerve to start handing them out to strangers. For now, maybe I'll give some to my mom. She loves to brag...

Very cute!

Hi! I'm a pretty new blogger also. I still haven't told my 'real world' friends. I felt the same way - sort of nervous that they wouldn't be interested. There's something safer about opening up to strangers... anyway - welcome - your blog is lots of fun. drop over to my place anytime!

Hey dudette!
I just popped in here from Melissa's site and Jess, I must say, I love your vibes so far! This is a GREAT idea for a business card...I just revamped my card, you can see it on my site, but I think when the order comes in, I am going to get an old needle and take your idea as well! I love it!

I am a proud possessor of this business card and I say, don't even think of changing it. It is certainly one I wouldn't mindlessly discard in 6 months; it's too pretty!

I love that idea - sewing paper in one of my favorite things. Beats the heck out of glue.
And "Start spreading the juice" made me laugh.
