silo day 5

Silhouettes lend themselves beautifully to all kinds of paper goods. I love making them into personalized cards. I prefer to leave the silhouettes in black, and use some color for the type. A colored envelope is a nice touch. I'm a big fan of thank you notes, and personalized ones with Bee's silhouette were perfect for Bee's birthday party.

A family of silhouettes makes a nice notecard. I'm hoping to send a set of these to my brothers and sisters when their birthdays come around. (Get ready, little brother!)

A cute anniversary card can be made by printing two silhouettes on a gatefold card. This one opens up to a heart that says "Happy Anniversary!"

Oh I just love the silo kids thank you card! Do you know anywhere that sells something like that... I just don't think I'm talented enough on the computer to make that myself:) What a great idea though.

I love all of these, you are so creative! One question - I've seen this heart in a bunch of your posts, where did you get it? Did you make it in Illustrator? thanks!

LOVE. Would you consider selling sets? I'd love to order some for my brood!!!!

Thank you for all the great ideas this week! Question: how do you print? If at home, what kind of printer, and where do you get the paper? Or, do you use a professional? How do you find a good printer for small runs? I've tried making all sorts of cute paper goods for myself and family, but things seem to fall apart during printing! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

I adore everything that you have done with these! I was so inspired by your stuff that I wrote a blog post that links to you a lot, and I featured your family tree (I hope that's okay!) Feel free to check it out, and let me know if you want me to take anything down. Thanks!
