Pine Tree Designs Labels

My logo and label has evolved over time, mostly to include more and more info. I want people to be able to reach me and order more, of course. I have 2 other configurations, with spacing left for a magnet or a pin back. But this is the one I use for Sticky Notes and cards. I started out with all labels being white. Now I make them in all sorts of colors so I can co-ordinate them with the item on which they are being used. Good way to use up odd color sheets I find myself with.

I started with the lower right, plain circle - used that for a few years. Then I accidentally figured out I could use a slightly larger scalloped punch to give it a little frame - upper right. I love that. Naturally, I had to try an even larger scalloped circle background - upper left. Nice too. Finally I realized that my scalloped punch gives me a nice effect while being less labor & materials intensive than using a separate piece for the scalloped part. (My Stampin' Up pals will recognize the scalloped punch, lower left.)

If time wasn't a factor, I'd use the upper right one, it's my favorite. But for now, I'm sticking with the one-part scallop, lower left. I thought about offering another poll (I love polls!) to see which ones you, my vast loyal readership, prefer. But my mind is made up. Mostly. Because seeing that upper right one has me trying to justify it to myself, "So what if it's twice the amount of paper - it's only pennies! and it's just gluing 2 pieces together, it's not that time consuming." Oh - and when I finally have a moment to get my KNK all working nice, it could cut the scallops out for me.

Did you see that? You just watched me change my mind, I think.

I would be interested in your thoughts if you care to share them in the comments.

Now, some old business - the results of yesterday's poll.

Because 3 friends (+ Mom) concurred that they liked the middle one, calling it my come hither look, I used that one on my Facebook profile. I didn't even know I could "do" come hither! And notice the new photo, in the upper right corner, as voted by my vast adoring public.
