Design: Smoothie Sale

I recently had the opportunity to create a flyer for a booster club smoothie sale. I whipped (or should I say blended?) it up in no time, but I like how it turned out. The colors all remind me of smoothies. And who doesn't love a nice, refreshing smoothie on a hot summer day?

Charles and I were talking about reducing our intake of sugars the other day. We were only talking about it because I know some people who have cut out sugar or are in the process of cutting out sugar. I have no interest in limiting sugars in my life. What can I say? I am a sugar addict. Every morning (pretty much) I drink a Bolthouse Farms Protein Smoothie drink. They taste so delicious, but are loaded with added sugar. Maybe I should drink more homemade fruit smoothies instead... There would still be sugar from the fruit, but that's much better than added sugars.

Design: Burger Burn

The first time I heard the term burger burn was when I lived in Ohio. I have always referred to something like this as a cookout. Some people call it a BBQ. Our squadron booster club decided to do a burger burn as one of their fundraisers and I offered to make a flyer for them to share with everyone.

I wanted to find a fun background featuring burgers. This was harder than I thought. I actually found a lot of cute backgrounds, but a lot of them had watermarks on them. I am cheap and do not want to buy images. But I found this black and white burger background which worked out well and isn't too distracting.

Cookbook Fundraiser... HELP!

For my Alumni chapter of Alpha Omega, I am trying to think of fun fundraising ideas for everyone to participate in even though we're all so spread out. One of my recent ideas was to do a cookbook fundraiser. However, I am reaching out to all my followers and visitors to find out if you have done this type of project before and where are some good places to get cookbooks published. I've done a little bit of searching just to get a rough idea, but I would love any and all suggestions.
