Celebrate Mother’s Day with Homemade Gifts

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Mother’s Day is almost here, so sometime in the near future the crafters will come out of the woodwork That means some of them will want vintage Mothers Day cards, which will allow them to incorporate vintage art into their creations. Many crafters prefer vintage, because it gives an old-fashioned feel that naturally goes together with honoring our moms.

The same thing applies to designing scrapbooks. Whether the scrapbook is traditional paper or digital, vintage art gives them a wonderful sense of occasion. Take for example, these vintage flower border scrapbook embellishments. They were a staple in Victorian days and were common in the scrapbooks the ladies kept. They were often hand drawn and used to ring the word “Mother” as a means of honoring the matriarch of the family. And that practice continues as scrapbookers return to the past to find ways to celebrate Mother’s Day.

And the very same scrapbooking embellishments that honor Mom can also be used to create beautiful handmade Mother’s Day cards. The beautiful flowers make a perfect point of focus in a Mother’s Day card. Also, they look wonderful as a 3D embellishment. If the border is printed on card stock, the inside and outside edges can be cut out and layered over another element, such as a photo of Mom. The image will show through, and the result will be the paper equivalent of a Victorian picture frame.

A glance at the Swiss army perfume selection.

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

The Swiss army brand is one that has for decades conjured up notions of integrity, excellence and refinement in the camping and outdoor world with such indispensable tools as the Swiss army knife and sturdy Swiss Army brand watches.

Now with more that 10 years experience in the completely different market of cologne & perfume, and the recent release of its fourth successful cologne, it looks like The Swiss Army Cologne ranges reputation can match that of knives.

Original Swiss army cologne

The first perfume to ever be produced by the company went by the simple name of Swiss army cologne and was first released back in 1996. This scent was a success by all accounts with impressive sales numbers not only in the US but also abroad in Europe as well.

In many ways it was the success of Swiss Army cologne that spurred the Victorinox brand onto releasing three new fragrances since that date, all of which have been received with considerably favorable reviews.

A Tale of Two Personalized Coffee Mugs

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

You’ve probably seen plenty of personalized photo mugs before and I know I’ve seen a lot of them in my time too. I’m 50 now, which brings me to why I want to tell you about these mugs and the impact they can have; you might be surprised at how much they can mean. Let me explain.

You see, about 8 years ago, on my 40th birthday, my father purchased me a personalized coffee mug for my big day. That Christmas I bought my dad one of these mugs as well. I can still remember my birthday when I opened up my mug. It said “Happy Birthday” and had a picture of my dad on it. That mug became one of my most cherished possessions.

After college, I moved halfway across the country to take a job in Virginia. A little too far away from my native St. Louis to have coffee with my dad in the morning; but with the mug he’d given me, it felt like I saw him every day as I had my coffee.

Why Urban Jewelry is So Cool

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Mens designer jewelry has now become one of the fastest growing fashion trends thanks to style icons such as David Beckham. Gone are the days when a man would wear just a watch or perhaps a wedding ring. Today’s men are wearing jewelry like never before and the leading trend is men’s urban jewelry.

Urban jewelry is a cool modern look which has its source in city life and designer lifestyles. The masculine look is often accentuated by stainless steel used as the design material.

Stainless steel is a good choice for men’s designer jewelry because it is versatile enough to take lots of different designs yet is hardwearing enough to be worn every day. It’s clean cool looks don’t go unnoticed either.

Key urban designs for mens necklaces are abstract mens pendants - for example cones and other more unusual shapes and also mens chains made entirely from stainless steel with intricate details on the links. Crosses are a timeless pendant choice, but in the urban trend they usually have a unique addition such as an unusual shape, stone settings, or engravings on the surface.
