I am finally back to earth after a wonderful weekend where my oldest son got married. Back in May the happy couple asked me if I would consider making the invitations. Would I? I had been meaning to ask them if they were interested in me making them.
After texting pictures of several different samples this is what they chose. It was great fun to make them as one of my gifts. Several of the products I used are now retired; the lace, and the stamp set.
Come back tomorrow to see what I did with all the corner rounder scraps.
My son Brian and Jude are getting married in October and asked me if I would be interested in making the invitations. Would I?!!!!! I was so excited. Jude pinned some ideas to her invite board on Pinterest and I checked them out. Here are some ideas I came up with.
I tried to keep the same layout and just change a few things. Here I made the ribbon wider and tied a bow on the top portion. I also changed the swirl so that it looked a little less feminine. more country.
I tried to add two layers of a thinner ribbon, and some unusual flowers as accent pieces. The Crumb Cake layer is actually some crimped paper that looks a little like the inside of cardboard.
Can you see how I used the same format, just changed up some elements each time? Guess which card they chose? They liked card number 1 with the swirls from card number 2. I am excited and can't wait to get started. I just need the information they want on the invites and then off I will go........
Have a great weekend, do some stamping and come back Monday to see what Miscellaneous item I choose to blog about.
