Reuse...Reduce...Recycle



I mentioned a few days ago that I'm headed to the Snap blogging conference.  Well, I've been following Snap's blog and it appears that super, over the top, cute business cards are a must. And while I have business cards, they are not the slightest bit cute.

I blame the husband for that. He thought I should earn money from my business before I invest in cute  expensive cards. Darn that man can be overly practical!

So, I've been meaning to buy new cards for the conference, but feeling bad for the 500 sitting in the box on my bookcase. It's not their fault that they are super cute. I mean, I'm the one that ordered them to be printed, right?

Then I came up with the idea to reuse them. I'm painting the blank backside, then adding a magnet to the front. I'm still playing with different paint/marker colors and magnet shapes/placement. So, it's a work in progress at this point.

But I'm having fun. And I'm pretty happy with them so far (if only paint did not warp paper). And I'm feeling good about not tossing out the perfectly OK cards. And, so far, I have not spent a penny on the makeovers. I happen to have PLENTY of supplies on hand.

So, any thoughts? Cute? Stupid? Color suggestions? I need some feedback to take the pressure off the hubby (who thinks everything looks fine). Fine? One does not say fine in these types of situations!

I'm going for super, over the top, cute!
