10 year anniversary invitation

last year, my brother and sister-in-law, rudy and jazz, asked me to help make their 10th wedding anniversary invitation.  we saw one online for roughly $6-10 each...  so i made up some templates for them, i think i ended up making at least 7 and showed 3 to them...  each layer of cardstock was measured individually to complement the whole... this is what i ended up making for them, inspired by the invitation we found online:

this would've been the original look they were looking for, unfortunately, the store ran out of the patterned paper.  so i helped jazz with the paper choices and this is the final result... isn't it pretty?  it actually turned out better than the first one!

custom card love

just wanted to share one of the custom cards i love to make from time to time.  this card was made for a very special baptism.  i used products from dymo, sassafras lass, paperbilities (at walmart), making memories, the "dollar" store (yes, there's a tonne of stuff there!), and DCWV embossed cards.

the hearts are hand-cut by moi.

a closer view, the stamp sticker inside the making memories grommet  is ...

from the dollar store!  can you believe it?  it's sooo cute!

a space above, for a personal message.  

i don't know if you can see it but i had to erase my message up there (thanks picnik!).

hand-cut embellishment... i wanted it to be a singing bird! 

paper from sassafras lass - loooves it!

i guess this would be the trade mark for my cards - lol!  (bcd - bryan, carla, and dominic!)

i hope you like it!

happy sunday everyone!  now, i'm off to work...
