Again, More Fun With Business Cards!


I simply canNOT get enough of Overnightprints.com’s free business card offer. I hope you’re not getting tired of the business card ideas! If you’re on their mailing list, these free promotions come around every now and then via e-mail for 100 cards free, you pay only shipping. (Or, you can use the promo for $10 off two-sided cards, etc.) {UPDATE: Wonderful Whitney from Whisker Graphics says this is the code to use: BC100, thanks Whitney!!} Shipping to the west coast runs $10, that’s still a pretty good deal if you’re looking to do something fun, like this-
Now that I have two Etsy shops, I have two Etsy looks. I designed these cards with both designs side-by-side with a fun little faux perforation line in between and trimmed the top on my paper cutter to make them the same size as my JSIM blog cards, for handing out or tucking into Etsy shipments.

Oh, and lookie here! I can also trim them out as tags if I need ’em!

Ten bucks, baby.

Always In The Moment

See that guy standing on the roof of the burning house? That’s my husband. (Click to enlarge!)

Though I could go a the rest of my life without actually seeing Jeff perform the most dangerous part of his career duties, I have photos like this to remind me that he is indeed a hero and absolutely deserves his feet rubbed now and then. (I should point out that he would argue that THIS was not the only dangerous part of that fire, negotiating the ladder under those wires and to the roof was pretty risky.)
Here’s another one of Jeff during an extrication drill.


Who takes these photos? The same amazing woman that took my most favorite Jeff & Cathe picture of all time, Nina Zhito.

Nina, a press, event and portrait photographer, sees my husband through different eyes than I. She witnesses, as do the emergency personnel, some of the most breathtaking moments, and captures them in time for the rest of us to experience.

Through many fire department events over the years, I have come to know Nina and have grown quite fond of her. To learn more about this terrific woman and her work, please click HERE to visit my design blog, Farm Fresh Creative.

What Goes Around…


This is fun. Robin Lynne not only won the JSIM Sketchbook Giveaway, but she also blogged about it. Gee, nothing like your product getting in the hands of a great photographer! (I promise I didn’t rig it that way!) Thanks for the great shots, Robin!!
