The Citizen, 2007-12-13, Page 7For Kelly Stevenson of BlythChristmas greetings are a work ofart. A Grade 12 student at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton, who hopes to study fine art, Stevenson puts her artistic talents to good use, designing and creating greeting cards for every occasion, including the festive season. Inspiration came from her mother, she says. “She wanted me to do some cards so she could send them to people. Then I just got bored and kept making them.” The cards are a nice fit for someone who loves to ‘doodle’. “They’re easier to carry than sketchbooks.” Using markers, Stevenson creates whimsical and colourful images on card stock paper. Her designs are original. “I draw what’s in my head.” People can purchase an original, which take over an hour to complete for $3. She then scans these into the computer so reproductions are available at a lesser cost. Multiple orders can be of a variety of designs with up to five of each design. Stevenson said she likes to consult personally with potential clients so that she can guarantee she delivers exactly what they’re looking for. She recommends that people contact her well ahead of when they need the cards so she is sure to have enough time for discussions and to complete theartwork. The cards can be ordered with verses or blank. For information contact Stevensonat 519-523-4910.THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 2007. PAGE 7.Greeting cards a work of art for local teen North Huron council decided Monday night to stick to their original decision regarding the hiring of a meeting investigator. The hope had been that the county would also hire the services of John Maddox, which would lower the cost for North Huron. The county, however, voted against this, meaning that if an investigation is required it will be conducted by the Ontario Ombudsman. Reeve Neil Vincent said he had spoken with some at the county level who wished they had more information before they made the decision. “The amount of paper work that will be put on staff... It would have been a small price to pay to have people doing the investigation who understand that type of audit,” said Vincent. Council voted unanimously to stay with their original decision. Season’s greetings Kelly Stevenson’s handpainted festive cards are just a sample of the line of greeting cards she has created for every occasion.
