I used a business card design tutorial from psdtuts.com (my favorite Photoshop Tutorial site). We'll see if either of these ever actually happen, but designing the business cards was fun!

Business Cards
The past week has been the business idea week. After a recent baby shower, my wife and I realized that diaper cakes aren't just fun to make (more fun for her I think), but generally the markup is Enormous! (diaper cake businesses charge anywhere from $50 to $150 for a cake made out of diapers) We've thought about making diaper cakes and selling them locally on craig's list, just to see if the idea could go anywhere. So between that idea and me still toying around with the idea of freelance web and graphic design, I decided to make business cards for our hypothetical businesses.

Ryan, it looks like you're progressing well. Way to go on looking up tuts. Here are a few sites I super love:
http://kuler.adobe.com/ -This is my go-to for awesome color palettes. It's amazing.
http://www.brusheezy.com/ -these guys have some good brushes and patterns that are really helpful and FREE!
http://www.orangebeautiful.com/ -amazing text and pattern inspiration. "the scoop" section is their blog and they post some great stuff.
I have more links on my laptop, I'm realizing. :( But anyway those are a few good things!
A friend of mine here was having a baby and another friend said she made diaper cakes in the US and offered to make one for me to give her. I'm thinking, okay, $20 - $25. It was $60!!!! I about died. You'll probably make your first million making diaper cakes!
PS. Trent about died too when I presented him with the receipt. Yikes!
