Here's A Look At My Handy Work

Over the last 6 weeks, I have created about 8 different mock ups for the bride who every so graciously decided to hire me to hand create her bridal invitations for her autumn wedding.
I was thrilled. I was so honored. Truth be known, I was terrified!
That soon passed after 4 trips to the big box store, Archivers.
I even took a class for some helpful hints, but honestly, I didn't learn anything other than
you will pay a premium price on 5 x 5 envelopes and the other very important thing
was that they offer printing templates on their web site.
Thank you for that!

This design is a very trendy tri fold pocket invitation. We incorporated
the colors from the wedding so the invitations will make a statement
about the wedding.
The pocket design allows the bride to include just about anything on the three
cards in the pocket. RSVP, of course. This can be mailed just like a postcard.
Event Plans, Directions, Accommodations, etc be used to provide the guests
with other very useful information.
Note the tiny crystals that embellish the pocket. We plan on using them
also on the pocket cards.
So, what do you think?
Be kind!
I don't want to cry!!!

A Peak at 2010 for Fellow Taureans

Year 2010 Overview Taurus always gets tagged with things like "pleasure-seeking" and "materialistic." That's probably unfair, in most cases. You're just as good at dishing out the pleasure as you are at seeking it, and who doesn't like a few nice things around? Sadly, there's been just too much struggle in your life the last couple of years when it comes to those two very important parts of your life. Thankfully, 2010 marks the end of that long uphill struggle . Your pleasurable pursuits have been a little more restricted than you'd like over the course of the last two years or so. That's over with now, so ... game on! The big events this year will not so much be a matter of major happenings as they will be things that have been in the works and are slowly revealing themselves . In the last two years, you've put a lot of work into what makes you happy, while Saturn transited your solar Fifth House. Now that those pressures are finally bei...

Christmas in July Give A Way

Image
What better way to celebrate the middle of summer with a give a way for one lucky blogging friend? Just because I want to, I will be giving away a Christmas box with an accordion album. This happens to be my design and I have already given one away last December. Sorry, Kate , you will have to sit this one out! This paper mache box holds an accordion album inside. More than likely, I will make a minor modification to the box before shipping it to its new home. I really love these vintage papers from Melissa Frances Scrapbook . Her collection of designs and patterns reminds me of a little sea side cottage. I can smell the ocean spray right now. These papers bring me back to a time when I think I would have loved to live…The Victorian Age. But let’s not fool anyone, I want all of the modern day luxuries. This paper on the left takes me back to a time when I played with cut outs. I was never a doll kid, but give me cut outs and I was happy for days. S o if you think you would ...
