Gettin' sticky with it!

We were super excited when we collected our new "BRP" (Buttons & Ribbons Paperie) stickers last week. Each of our creations will be adorned with one of these babies :)

To: Whom It May Concern

It's always hard not to wonder what kind of person the receiver of the card is...well, to begin with, we ask our customers for a brief description of the receiver so that the card will be specially personalised. But with that little info, the mind does wonder beyond that... At Mel's Inc, I had several customers who would give me a whole paragraph (even more if I'm lucky!) of description of the receiver; I find it very interesting and more enjoyable creating the card knowing a bit more about the person... some even go beyond preference of colors, shape etc, to what the person likes to do in his/her free time! Talk about making new friends! :) That's the beauty of handmade cards... we make it from the heart, from one friend to another.

Suzannah has been a loyal customer at Mel's Inc, and with the new venture with Buttons & Ribbons, she has loyally ordered more cards from us! Thanks Suzannah for your endless support! We hope you continue lovin' our cards! :)

Memories.....of Perth'09

I can still remember the cool crisp air, the bluest skies, the neverending seas, the freshest seafood, the sheer feeling of joy and freedom, but most of all, I remember the moment which made this vacation so special.

Here is an excerpt of the scrapbook I made for this trip. Enjoy.... :)

                                                                                                                

A peek into the past - 'Best of Mel's Inc'

Birthdays, Mothers' Day, Fathers' Day, Thank Yous, or just a casual 'Just to say Hi' card, Mel has made all of them since the beginning of Mel's Inc. I personally love the money/voucher holders. Undeniably the best choice for the 'super busy' (too busy to crack our brains to decide what to buy for our dear friends), the money/voucher holder acts as a card with a personal touch and an envelope to house the voucher or cash. Your friend might just be secretly relieved you didn't get him or her that 'last minute' photo frame/mug/t-shirt that does not fit:)

Here's a collection of her past creations, I would like to call - 'Best of Mel's Inc'.

The End of March...

..marks the time we turn a year older. We've come a long road, from prankster teens clad in the white and blue uniform, to young aspiring business partners! Each year we groan at the thought of adding another year to our age, but at the same time, we look forward to the moment we unveil the pretty wrapped gift and card we exchange. As much as we enjoy making cards and wrapping up gifts, just like you, we love the thought of receiving one! :)

Happy Birthday to us!
