Oh yeah, I took a picture of french kissing giraffes. Then I played in photoshop to make a kick ass image. I might even get this printed and framed. I like it THAT much.
If you’re wondering why I did this in the first place, head on over to Pink Ink Studios…
I have a couple of new products at Pink Ink Studios… One is a fun Vintage Blue Save the Date Postcard and the others are more of my Asuka Book Templates. Are you looking for a particular new product at Pink Ink? Post a comment below… you never know, maybe it will magically appear in the shop soon! 
Oh and remember that you have until January 31 to purchase our retiring items… Get them before they’re gone!!!
Last night I added a new blog frame to Pink Ink Studios. Above, you can see it in use both vertically and horizontally.
I also added a combo pack of my Asuka Book Templates. You get templates #1-5 for the price of just 4!
For purchasing information, check out Pink Ink Studios.
While you’re there, check out the RETIRING section. There are lots of goodies there that will be GONE FOREVER come February 1.
Here’s a blog post I wrote for Pink Ink Studios:
I am probably a little biased (you know, just a little bit), but I am absolutely LOVING my new Sherbet Business Collection. It’s fun, bright and funky and totally customizable.
Currently, there are only a few products in the store for this collection, but there are many more items to come. If you are looking for a specific product for this line, just let me know – I might be able to add it to the store!
First, there’s the Sherbet Price List. It’s a single, layered .psd file and is fully customizable except for the background pattern. Fonts, font colors, boxes and header background color can all be changed.
The Sherbet Collection also includes a 5×7 promo postcard and a blog header. Like the price list, these products are completely customizable, except for the patterned backgrounds.
In case you are wondering, yes those fun, funky photos are me, taken by the wonderfully talented Holly McCaig! Thanks Holly!
Last Friday, I embarked on quite the travel nightmare. The plan was for me to take the 6:15am Amtrak from Milwaukee to Chicago’s Union Station, then catch a 9am Megabus to St. Louis to visit one of my bestest friends, Holly McCaig. My itinerary called for me to arrive in St. Louis at 2:30 pm or so. I would have had about an hour to grab breakfast in Chicago.
As is pretty much everything in my life, enter Murphy’s Law.
I got to the train station before 6, printed my ticket at the kiosk and got in line to board the train. Tick tock, tick tock. At approximately 6:37 am (see Twitter feed below), we were told there were mechanical problems with the train that could make it hard to stop. Awesome! I complained about missing my connection in Chicago and was told they could refund my train ticket and that I should check with Greyhound.
I didn’t really have another choice, as they didn’t know when the train would leave and there was no way I could catch my connection, so I had to take Greyhound all the way to St. Louis. Note: I will NEVER do this again.
The best way for you to learn about my trip is probably to just read through my tweets from Friday (scroll down to the bottom and work your way up. The tweets are in reverse-chronological order).
I’ll post more about the trip later this week. Enjoy.

Yes, that’s right, I’m putting EVERYTHING in my Pink Ink Studios shop on sale through the end of the year. Time to stock up on Asuka Book Templates, Holiday cards, Album Backs and Blog Headers. Even my Teal Business Set is on sale.
The Peppermint Plaid Folded 5×7 Holiday Card is designed for printing at WHCC.com and includes proper bleed. You get three flattened .png files in this set: Front, Inside Spread and Back. Add your own message by adding a layer of text on the tag provided in the inside spread. You can even included your business information on the tab in the back file.

Come take advantage of our Black Friday sale this Friday! All Christmas/Holiday cards will be 20% off!
Between craft fairs and dealing with life, I have been trying to get new items up at Pink Ink Studios. Here are a few of my creations:
I guess some people have a hard time figuring out layouts for photo books for clients…. Enter Amy’s Asuka templates! I love creating templates and hope you will like using them.
Here’s a fun holiday card, adorned with sleighbells and this fabulous floral pattern.
Finally, my friend Carrie mentioned the other day that she had a client who wanted a 20×20 storyboard with a big photo in the middle surrounded by little ones. Viola! Ask and ye shall receive… well, sometimes.
Here’s her final product:
Isn’t it fabulous?!?
