Sara and Greg

And here's Sara's final monogram choice. She actually ordered different variations of it for her 3-monogram package. I love this look! Thanks Sara!!! Have fun with your DIY projects!

New Monogram Design

I am currently working on a few designs for Sara's wedding, and came up with these two as part of her proofs... I thought it would be good to add to my standard monogram collection. So here they are...

Wendy's Seating Chart

I just finished Wendy's Seating Chart file for her Valentines Day wedding! Can't wait to see the final product!
Seating Charts are a GREAT way to replace escort cards and placecards. A growing trend, it's a lot easier than having to arrange all the cards in order on the table, plus it saves space for other wonderful presentation ideas you may have for your greeting area of your reception. BUT, some brides do opt to do both placecards and a seating chart. It's all up to you...

Emma and Shaw's Carnival Themed Birthdays

Wendy came to me looking for the carnival ticket themed invitations for her kids, Emma and Shaw. Just so happens their birthdays are close enough together they can have a party together. I had originally made these invites for my goddaughter, Lea, which is why they're in my shop. Emma's and Shaw's are slightly different, because I used a heavier cardstock for the pockets, and I added personalized balloons with their initials on the front, to add more interest. Emma gets the girly girl color combination, while her little brother gets the dark blue/red combo ...














I also make the pdf files for DIY moms. Here's a DIY tip for you, if you decide to make pockets to go with the tickets... I had the TOUGHEST time making this heavy cardstock stick with just my ATG tape (which is excellent in most cases). I handmake the pockets myself. But because this paper is heavy, it tends to pull away. SOooooo, I went and used my trusty Scotch double sided tape, and that seemed to solve the sticky problem.
These tickets are also cute by themselves, if you stick them in a colored envelope. A great place to get many colors is http://www.paper-source.com/.
A Shop Announcement: I am retiring this item from my shop. But I will continue listing it as a "PRINT AT HOME" option for $10 so anyone can print these from their own printers. I will also include a template for the pocket. I would suggest using a medium weight cardstock for pockets.

Happy Birthday Janik! Happy Anniversary!

Uyen ordered 2 cards for Janik's 30th Birthday and their anniversary. She didn't want the standard hearts, flowers or stars, so I used musical notes and a "sparkle" to be a little different. Hope he likey!
