Hello! I hope everyone is feeling fresh from the weekend! With Christmas over and the New Year still to come, it's the perfect time to catch up on those holiday greetings you didn't get a chance to send out. I adore these Welcome New Year cards from JetKat Design's Etsy Shop--they're like getting a free pass for procrastinating earlier in the month!
Their simple graphic appeal reflects just how I want the new year to be: clean, pared-down, and elegant. And of course the Rilke quotation makes you sound so sophisticated! My advice? Stock up on a dozen at least, because these'll get you props well into February :)


these are so beautiful...
Happy New Year to you!

I love these. The ribbon just completes it. I so wish I had been on top of sending holiday cards this year. I'm going to see if I can grab any discounts on cards so I'm set for next year.

This has always been one of my favorite quotes about the new year. Rilke is so heartbreakingly beautiful.

I have a huge design crush on the amazing Brooke, of Oh Brooke, who not only has an adorable blog but also does amazing web design. She took my pre-made Word Press template and turned it into the perfect home for Makeunder My Life. Kind of like a really great makeover by Candice Olsen on Divine Design.

Hi Anne! I hope you are having a great new year so far! I just got a Google Alert with my MML name - I just saw the comment above. I have no idea how it posted - that is part of a blog post I made months ago... so strange!
Anyways, those cards are beautiful!
