My name is Alisha Oxley and I have been invited to post here on Penny Wise and Posh. The girls here have asked me to write about the postcard mailers I design.
Let me introduce myself first:) I am a momma of 3 littles-boy(5), girl(3), boy(1 1/2)-who keep me plenty busy. In my spare time I love spending time with my amazing hubby, reading good books (always looking for suggestions) and designing beautiful postcards.
I have a love for playing around and designing on my digital scrapbooking program. Some of my favorite things to design are Christmas cards and birth announcements. I have also had the opportunity to design some wedding announcements, birthday cards/invitations and other printables to use as wall art and such.
The reason I started designing for others is to give people a less expensive, more personal alternative to ordering from larger card printing companies. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE browsing through the websites of larger companies and drooling over their designs, but I knew there was a less expensive way for me to send out cute Christmas cards and birth announcements to my family and friends. And BONUS I get to play around on my computer!
Last year I designed a few fun Halloween things, so I thought I would share them! You are welcome to click and download here on the blog OR hope on over to my Facebook page and download from there. Just scroll down until you find them. I also have examples of my work if you are interested in taking a peek.

This first one I designed for my mother-in-law. She is always doing something fun for Halloween. She was hosting a fun dinner party and wanted to have a cute (or creepy) menu placed by each dinner plate. I whipped this up and she printed it out, found some cute sparkly black scrapbook paper and ta-da! Super cute Halloween menu!
All you need is:
*Stick Pretzels
*Mini Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
Unwrap the peanut butter cups, place upside down and carefully push a pretzel into the peanut butter cup. And then you have witch brooms! My littles LOVED these!
To Make Spider Eggs:
*White powdered donut holes
*Black plastic spiders or spider rings
Place donut holes in a bag and add as many spiders as you would like. Tie up with some cute Halloween ribbon and attach the tag. So fun!
I just want to thank the cute ladies on this blog for having me as a guest. I am so excited to continue to read their posts and find ways to pinch my pennies:)
Wishing you all a most wonderful October--one of my favorite months of the year!
Alisha
