It’s fascinating how one creative spark can trigger an endless chain reaction. Today, I headed to the studio intending to make a single greeting card for my niece—just a little something to remind her how amazing she is. I had such a blast that, the moment I finished, I found myself starting a "thank you" card instead. To make sure they looked professional, I invested in a Canon Pro-300 imagePROGRAF and some beautiful stock from Red River Paper. There is such a rush that comes from printing on high-quality materials with a top-tier printer. I have to credit Barbara S. for always sourcing the most remarkable paper for my projects. I briefly considered turning this into a business called "Small Talk Arts," but I ultimately decided “nah”. I’ve realized I much prefer the simple joy of creating custom cards for the people I care about—or for anyone who might appreciate a little extra whimsy showing up in their mailbox.
