{ New Designs }

I've been creating new samples for the wedding show. I am particulary proud of these two! Enjoy...










{Olive You}
Okay, the name is a little corney, but that aside, this set is an eye catching combo! I layered white cardstock on a matte olive and metallic brown. The orange ribbon is tied into a modern flat style bow, giving the invitation a really elegant, clean finishing touch. This one is definitely one of my personal favorites!! Stunning.



{Luxe}
This invitation is a fold-over style in a deep gold metallic cardstock. I use cream cardstock and layered it on a bright matte blue and brown metallic cardstock. The rich colors of gold and brown really make the blue pop! The RSVP card and envelope is held into place by a chocolate ribbon. Additional inserts could also be added. I am working on a coordinating fan style program for this invite, I hope to post that soon!










{Photo Guest Books}
I am also going to start offering photo guest books. They are 20 page hardbound books. The covers come in quite a few colors. The moment I showed this book to a few of my clients, they wanted one! It makes a nice keep sake, it's also a great way to show off your engagement photos!

{ New Design } Holiday Wedding

I've always loved the idea of a Christmas wedding, my parents were married in December. I think it's just that certain magic and celebration that's in the air. It just seems romantic already. With all of the sparkle and lights that are around I was inspired to create an invitation with a holiday feel. I layered cream cardstock on champagne and bright red cardstock. I added a rhinestone for that extra tough of sparkle. Of course red isn't just for December, this would also be great for a February wedding too!

{ Real Wedding } Angela & Paul

Here is a special "sneak peek" of Angela and Paul's wedding invitations. I have been working with Angela since the middle of summer on her wedding invitations for her upcoming June '09 wedding. She and Paul want a simple, clean look for their wedding. She chose this fold over invitation in silver cardstock. The monogram tag is white layered on metallic fuchsia cardstock. The inside is printed on white cardstock and layered on fuchsia. The three inserts are held into place with the simple white ribbon wrap. I have been busy cutting, folding, gluing and I just had to share. I am so happy with how they turned out! So fresh! I will also be creating programs, and other wedding accessories that will coordinate perfectly with her look. Angela is full of creative ideas! Enjoy!

P.S. Sorry the photos a little blurry, it's been raining for 4 days and the lighting wasn't too great!

Season for Greetings

The Christmas season is in full swing! I always look forward to creating my own cards to send out. I just finished them up last night. I braved the 20 degrees to snap some quick photos to share. The cards are printed on cream cardstock and layered on Antique Gold and Bronze metallic cardstock. I finished them off with a sparkly rhinestone. Can't wait to send them out.

I also wanted to share some of my decorations. I did an all silver and white theme for our home this year. I was on a tight budget for decorations so I found almost everything at the Dollar Tree. Including those beautiful little birds (3 for a $1!!) I created hanging window wreaths and filled our window boxes with greens, silver balls and silver flowers. I collected branches from the woods and spray painted them white. I even brought some inside, I was thinking of hanging my Christmas cards from them. I love how everything turned out! It's so wintery looking!

Over the next few weeks, I will be busy gearing up for the Wedding Wonderland Bridal Show in York, PA in early January! It's my first bridal event! I am so excited to show off my work and hopefully make some great connections.

Merry Christmas!

Love, J
