Who's the coolest brother?

Brother's are always fighting. So, I decided to make these traditional looking t-shirts with subtle sibling rivalry added into the designs on my new baby, little, middle and big brother sets. The color scheme is that of retro beach wear. The little brother t-shirt says "I'm The Cool One (I'm The Little Brother)." Then the middle and big brother design appears to have been slightly altered with the addition of 'er' and 'est,' making them cooler and coolest! But, the baby brother stumps them all with his "I'm Just Cool!!!" slogan.

Here, check them out for yourself, and let me know what you think.

Cool Little Brother:


Cool(er) Middle Brother

Cool(est) Big Brother:


I'm Just Cool! Baby Brother:


I am planning on adding this design to the new baby, little, middle and big sister section in browns and pinks. What do you think?

The Inspiration Behind TeesForBaby.com

Welcome to my first blog! My name is Ne' Metzger. I am a freelance graphic designer and work-at-home mom of 3 children. I just gave birth to my 3rd child, a little girl, in May. We named her Missouri Lynne, after my aunt, Ada Missouri, and my great-grandmother, Martha Missouri. My nickname, Ne', is short for my middle name Karlynne'. That is pronounced car-lin-nay. I have been married for almost 4 years, after meeting my husband, Tim, on eHarmony.com! We both wanted children right away, so 9 months later, we had Aidan Nathaniel. Then, 11 months after that, we had Audriana Grace.

I had worked as an ad designer at a 5-state auto trading magazine for 6 years before resigning after the birth of my daughter, Audri. The last couple of years have been tough financially, so I prayed to God to send me something I could do that used my artistic ability. I had tried selling on eBay, including logo design. But, that was too time consuming and the market for logo design on eBay had been driven down. So, I asked God to just show me what I needed to do. And during a random google search, I discovered CafePress! I now have two shops. One is teesforbaby.com and the other is The Village at 1512 Boulevard Holiday Shoppe at 1512blvd.com.

This blog is to announce new designs at TeesForBaby.com and to just let you know where my inspiration comes from or what is new in my life.

Hope you enjoy my blog, and let me know what designs are relevent to your life!

In Christ,
Ne'
