Card customization is nothing new – outside of the United States. Simply searching on Google returned an article about the KBC bank in Belgium who were already providing this service to their customers back in 2006. Customers were invited to submit an image of their choice and after a few days new card was available for pick-up at the bank.This trend has now found its way slowly into the US via Capitol One’s Card Lab. I propose this be a venture undertaken by credit card companies such as American Express Business. Their new plum card simply does not say who you, the company are!
A simple addition of your company’s logo onto the card would not only enhance the company’s image and recognition, but there would be no confusion about who was paying when an employee was taking a client out to lunch. No, they are not using their personal bank card, but the company card – reinforced by the simple logo addition.Now it would be amazing to be able to make completely customized cards for your company but I’m sure this will not be available anytime soon. Regardless, I have created the Stackpole & Partners future credit card below:
For those of you who are artistic and enjoy a craft project like myself, make sure to check out this other hit I received from my search on Google regarding different techniques one person has used to personalize their card.

It is coming close to my favorite time of year, every 4 years – the Summer Olympics! It already started with the trials in which USA spares no one and are brutal. The excitement, nervousness, and despair that the Olympic games bring upon are like nothing else. However, this year, I feel as though certain athletes are being “pimped out”. Michael Phelps, my personal favorite, winning medal after medal in Greece is in every commercial promoting not only the Olympics, but also their sponsors. I swear I saw him swimming in a pool of beer the other day. Amanda Beard, also a swimmer, posed for Playboy this past year. I guess being featured on the Wheaties box isn’t enough anymore.

Thanks to decor8’s blog and Etsy, I have come across a new way to add exciting dynamics to a room with minimal effort creating stunning, unique results.
The designs offered by Elly Nelly are clean, sophisticated, and complimentary to any setting. These wall designs are easy to apply and look great not only on walls but windows, mirrors, fridges, tiles, ceilings, etc. Any smooth clean surface will suffice.
No need to go buy expensive supplies, watch how-to videos on you tube or hire an interior designer when you can apply these self-adhesive designs yourself. Please note that they are removable (not reusable) when you are ready for a change.
Please visit www.ellynelly.com to see all they have to offer for wall decals and soon to come—posters, prints, textiles and clothing!
