Stacy Bowie Designs Fine Art Stationery Goes Green for the Holidays
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 14, 2008 -- In an effort to do their part for the environment Stacy Bowie Designs has begun transitioning their fine art stationery to fine art stationery printed on recycled paper. When customers click Stacy Bowie Designs Stationery (http://www.stacybowiedesigns.com/Stationery08.html) they will find not only various stationery choices but a promotion offering 10 free postage stamps with the purchase of holiday cards. The offer expires at the end of August.
"We feel that there are certain holidays and events that mandate sending a card in the mail vs. an e-card on the computer and Christmas, Hanukkah and Kwaanza are perfect examples of these," said Stacy Bowie, CEO and Creative Director of Stacy Bowie Designs. "Everyone enjoys getting a card in the mail, that feeling will never change, the idea that someone took the time to write and send a card is special and we wanted to encourage people to continue spreading that positivity with our 'free stamps' promotion," explained Bowie.
When customers visit Stacy Bowie Designs Stationery (http://www.stacybowiedesigns.com/Stationery08.html) they will see welcome additions to the stationery products including a new line of boxed note cards called "Bel E. Button" which are designed by both Stacy Bowie and her daughter Izabel. All fine art stationery greeting cards will be gradually transitioned to recycled card stock and printed with soy-based inks in most cases. "Going green and producing environmentally responsible stationery is a necessary step," said Bowie.
Stacy Bowie Designs got it's start from Bowie creating hand-painted and signed stationery as well as cards embellished with various fabrics and later using CrystallizedTM SWAROVSKI Elements. These hand-painted and embellished stationery cards are still available and after it was discovered that customers were framing their cards Stacy Bowie Designs added framed stationery to the online catalog priced at $35 each.
Printed stationery cards and envelopes are $4 each, $35 for a box of 10, embellished cards start at $5 each and hand-painted cards are $15 each. Order at Stacy Bowie Designs Stationery (http://www.stacybowiedesigns.com/Stationery08.html).

Save Memories by Time-Stamping Photos
Back in the film days, many point-and-shoot cameras had an extremely useful feature most modern digital compacts are regrettably lacking. The feature was called Quartz or Time-Stamping depending on the manufacturer. The idea was simple and clear: time-stamp every frame with the exact date the photo was taken. While many argued that the pictures were spoiled that way, I always wished that my twenty-something year old photographs could tell me when they were taken. Alas, that was not the case twenty-something years ago. It's not the case today, either.
