Kicked to the curb

I don't get the chance to watch much television at night but tonight I caught "The Apprentice" http://www.nbc.com/The_Apprentice_5/ . I like the show because it gives some insight to the more successful business owners and seeing them handle different scenerios with business. The trials and obstacles that they encounter are very challenging at times. The one I saw tonight, I have to say wasn't very original though. One was where they came up with ideas for the Boys and Girls Clubhttp://www.bgca.org/ theme. One deal a multipurpose room whereas the other team focused on just one concept of music. The second show had the teams doing product placement and promotional sales of a "pizza/sandwich" at the 7-Eleven http://www.7-eleven.com/ stores. Both shows were no-brainers. Sometimes there are some pretty tough stuff. It usually deals with having to stay within a budget. I also like the ones where they win or lose with a commercial.
Right now with the personalized greeting cards, I am at a crossing. I am wanting to stay with a mostly digital approach. To design the card and print it. Another part of me wants to experience with a scrapbooking approach http://www.creativememories.com/ to cards but I don't want to limit the product. There is just sooooooooo much of the scrapbooking style of things out there, and that is why I had the idea for a more of a digital scrapbook scheme. Where things can have that layered look yet not taking the chance of having embellishments fall off or not line up just right. The digital scrapbooking itself is a concept that allows for clean editing and image placement. I do the work and the client gets the product. Pure and simple.
