The Business Cards of Alt Summit 2013

January 30, 2013 by Ciera Holzenthal

Hi y’all! I’m back from Alt Summit and trying to get back into the swing of normal life. It was the best, most exhausting four days of my life! While I’m still processing all of the information I took in, I decided to share some of my favorite business cards from the awesome bloggers and brands I met while in Salt Lake City. Since Alt is a conference for creative people, the business card exchange has become a beautiful and fun tradition, now in it’s fourth year. I have linked to all of their blogs so click around if you are looking for some awesome new people to follow, I still have some exploring to do myself!

Alt set up these boards in the hallway for everyone to stick their cards too, so fun! I was seriously amazed by all of the creativity!

    Ciera,

    These photos are BEAUTIFUL. You styled them so so so well. Ps. I’m so glad you took the styling class and we met on the last day. Pps. WHY WERE YOU IN THAT CLASS? You are obviously a PRO at styling. Seriously, I’m in love with these photos.

    Thanks for including mine, you are the sweetest.

    xoxo, Shaunna

    How fun!! Looks like we both did color coordination too 🙂 Also – it’s fun to see different versions of cards that people did. Like the card I got from Michelle Edgemont was gold instead of blue! Too cool. Loving your blog too!
