That's right, Barbara's Treasures is now the proud owner of fancy shaped business cards! Complete with the new branding look, courtesy of my wonderful daughter Mel (bit cheaky seeing as how I'm the author behind this blog post, but I'm sure Mum won't mind!) they also double as display cards for Barbara's miniature creations. To see more of Mel's design and craft escapades visit blackswandesigns.co.nz or bod.co.nz.
