My Handmade Greeting Cards

My Memo's Greeting Cards

So, I just graduated and I finally decided to open my online greeting cards shop. I have only just started a couple of weeks ago and I am really excited to see if anyone likes my work.

The cards are prints of my drawings and some are purely hand drawn and some edited in Photoshop, I mainly added colour to some of them.

This design is very random and perhaps too personal, I am not sure. The story is that I was doing my driving lessons at the time and this is how I was imagining myself driving a car on my own.



I made this drawing into a card because it could be given to someone who is passing or has just passed their driving licence. I know you don't really get cards on these kind of occasions but hey, why not start a new trend? The music I am listening to in the car is by Elvis and the lyrics say: You are always on my mind.....


This is the actual card:



So this is my first blog in 8 months, I hope you like what I have been up to.

If you are interested in the rest of my designs, here they are on etsy: 


P.S. I am going to watch 'The Watch' ..hilarious.. i love ben stiller

Elvis

Four days ago was Elvis's birthday or as I like to call it, Elvisday. Elvis not only was a great singer, actor and whatnot but he was also well-dressed, and I am not necessarily talking about his signature white costume but just normal clothes he used to wear. The photo below is my favourite, it is also my phone display picture. I like it because what he's wearing is current and fashionable, his haircut is still very popular. 



So, to celebrate his birthday I wore my elvis t-shirt which I created myself and had it done by snappysnaps for £15. Here it is.




I was a very proud Elvis fan that day, but realised almost no one shared my passion. It might be because he's been dead for more than 30 years but hey you know what they say, (his) music never dies, so find your inner Elvis fan (?), and listen to some good old Are You Lonesome Tonight haha


P.S. Champagne, champagne for everyone! That's what I didn't say on my birthday two days ago

Men's Fashion

In my opinion, men's clothes are much cooler than women's. It may be because I don't wear them and they always look good on display or on men. It may be because I am attracted to simple designs and men's clothes are simple and neat.
Women are so versatile when it comes to shapes and sizes and it is much harder for us to find what we like, what suits us and what fits us.
This may be true for men too, but as I am not one I can only say what I think.

The only time I wish I was a man is when I see a really cool jumper which I can't wear because I know I would look ridiculous. I like boys who wear cool jumpers and if I had a brother I would make him wear jumpers like these:



So if I was a boy, this would be my style, I know it may not show my biceps or whatever but then would I have any....then again, I am not a boy and neither is Beyonce
