DAY FIVE: 25 Days of New Designs

DAY FIVE: Monday, start of new week...seemed fitting that—for Day 5 of my 25 Days of New Designs adventure—I unearth a few of my luggage tag designs that have been languishing in a drawer for the past few months. You see, I really hate photographing luggage tags. They never lie flat and there always seems to be an odd reflection on the photos. But today, I braved 30 degree temps to shoot a few of my finished tags in natural sunlight so I could finally get them on the Best Friends Studios website! (One of these days, Mary Ann and I will both learn how to use our professional lighting set-up or perhaps let my 14-year-old son try his hand at product photography!) At any rate, I've added the following designs to our personalized dog silhouette luggage tag collection: Colorful Dots (8 color options), Bold Blooms (red/black or black/white) and Wildflowers (chocolate with your choice of turquoise, pink or pistachio). These tags make great stocking stuffers, especially for a child's backpack. My daughter's tags have been on her backpack for more than year—quite durable and cute to boot!

DEAL OF THE DAY: Purchase any luggage tag now through December 10, 2010, and receive a special 8-pack of Retro Santa gift tags with your favorite dog breed.
