May 19th, 2012
Hi all! Today’s card is the third video in my Birthday Card mini series.
I thought it would be fun to use my Silhouette Cameo to cut out a banner and the sentiment for the card. You can see how I did that in the video. Also, you can purchase the banner design below.

A Cut Above – Now in Two Parts!

A Cut Above – a die cutting online class from Kristina Werner, Jennifer McGuire and Nichol Magouirk was a huge success! The class is now offered in two parts: Part 1 for Traditional Die Cutting, and Part 2 for Electronic Die Cutting (Silhouette).

Yankee Stadium Welcomes Yogi Berra for His 87th Birthday …
May 13th, 2012Yogi Berra sat in the passenger seat of a golf cart driven by his close friend and de facto valet Rod Guidry and soaked in the applause of the Yankee Stadium crowd. It was minutes before the Yankees’ game against the Seattle Mariners on Saturday, and the Yankees honored Berra on his 87th birthday.
After a tribute was shown on the large video screen in center field, Guidry and Berra drove in from the outfield gate. The golf cart rode along the warning track and down the third-base line before stopping behind home plate. Berra was greeted by Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal and Derek Jeter, both of whom presented Berra with a birthday cake. The Yankee Stadium crowd then sang “Happy Birthday.” The fans received a commemorative Berra baseball card upon entering the ballpark.
The video presentation included information on Berra’s career and his museum and learning center in Upper Montclair, N.J. It concluded with a homage to memorable Berra quotations such as “we’re open till we close” and “if you come to a fork in the road, take it.”
Berra, a Hall of Famer, was an 18-time All-Star and won three Most Valuable Player awards for the Yankees. He also won 10 World Series championships as a player and three as a coach.

May 13th, 201212/05/2012 – Mumbai, Maharshtra – (Kazor.com) –
“Choosing a Best Birthday Gift is always Confusing.”
Choosing a good birthday gift can make the recipient feel special, particularly if the item is something personalized, unique, or thoughtful. When selecting something, it can be nice to try to think of a gift that is meaningful rather than purely functional. You may want the recipient to associate the birthday gift with you and your relationship, or you may simply want to give him or her something whimsical that inspires laughter or stress relief. Whatever, you want to give him/her something really special for his or her birthday to show that you appreciate their relationship.
What you choose should be dictated by your relationship with the person, and how well you know him or her. Sometimes we feel at a loss because we think that they have everything they could possibly want or use. Not so! There’s always something that will have a special meaning because you gave it. Here are some best birthday gift ideas that you may have never considered before.
For the art lover : Looking for something unusual for those folks who have everything? Instead of jumping in the car and heading for the mall, keep your computer powered up and let your fingers do the shopping at the online stores like GoGappa.com and other sites that specialize in replicas of ancient and modern art.
For the nurturer : Who doesn’t deserve a day at the spa? Purchase a sturdy cosmetic bag and add all the fixings for a do-it-yourself spa — hand cream, body lotion, scented oils, face mask, manicure set. Make a relaxing CD to put inside and top it off with a gift certificate at the local spa for a massage on you!
For the Food Lover : Here’s one that will top the list of best friend birthday gift ideas: Make up the collection of some chocolates, cookies, truffles along with the CD’s of his or her’s favorite music. you can also try varities like instead of chocolates take dry fuites or fresh fruites.
For the book lover : Buy a gift-card from your local bookstore (or online merchant) and make your own bookmark so your friend will never forget your thoughtfulness. Get on your computer and type up your favorite poem or memorable song lyrics, add some graphics and get it laminated at most office-supply stores. Every time your friend opens a book, he or she will remember you with a smile.

Happy gapingvoid Birthday! My Blog Turns Eleven… | gapingvoid
May 6th, 2012Today
Happy gapingvoid Birthday! My Blog Turns Eleven…
Over the weekend, gapingvoid.com turned eleven years old.
I won’t dwell on it too much, other than to say,
1. Yes, it has been an amazing trip,
2. Thank you very much for all the love over the years and
3. Looking back, I consider “Personal Faves” (2001) to be the best thing on it that I ever wrote. It set the tone for what came after– “How To Creative”, “The Hughtrain”, “Evil Plans”, “Freedom Is Blogging”, then the actual gapingvoid business itself, the “cube grenades” and the great team of people I work with etc– it all came from that. And I honestly, honestly doubt that I would had come this far without it:
When I first lived in Manhattan in December, 1997 I got into the habit of doodling on the back of business cards, just to give me something to do while sitting at the bar. The format stuck.
All I had when I first got to Manhattan were 2 suitcases, a couple of cardboard boxes full of stuff, a reservation at the YMCA, and a 10-day freelance copywriting gig at a Midtown advertising agency.
My life for the next couple of weeks was going to work, walking around the city, and staggering back to the YMCA once the bars closed. Lots of alcohol and coffee shops. Lot of weird people. Being hit five times a day by this strange desire to laugh, sing and cry simultaneously. At times like these, there’s a lot to be said for an art form that fits easily inside your coat pocket.
[…]
An artist is quite a f*****-up thing to be, and to be honest I’m not sure if I would recommend it to anybody. Still, in my collection there are a couple of examples that, in some sick and twisted way, make the whole thing seem worthwhile. For the first five minutes, at least…
Anyway, for those who hadn’t seen it before, I thought it was worth sharing [Here’s the link again]. Again, thanks for all the love, and Godbless. Now I have some more cartoons to draw. Rock on.
“Hugh’s Daily Cartoon” Newsletter.
A new cartoon sent out every weekday morning to your inbox [RSS version here.].
A wee chuckle to start your day off right etc.

O man. You are not only the inspiration for art and marketing world, you have programmers in your audience. The thing I like about your art, it’s not about the message that has some kind of expiration date. They are universal. I already see far future where people are using Steve Jobs quotes and yours too. It’s not about the money, it’s not about the popularity. You are leaving a huge legacy.
Thank you Hugh.
Thanks, Haris! Very kind
