Invitations are DONE!

Well, hello!!! Yes, I have been super busy trying to finish these invitations. I didn't realize it would be so tedious! Alot of cutting, adhering..alot of WORK!! But, they are DONE and I am happy with them! Kenny and Kristy are super happy with them as well. Here's a little idea of the work involved (note the word LITTLE as there was a lot more! LOL!) and then the finished product. There's 80 of these, so take into the account - 2 scrolls, 3 pearls, 1 bow, 1 locket and 2 punched edges PER invite! A lot of work, but so worth it when you see them all done. Would love to hear what you think!

Birthday Invitations for Ashleigh

Good morning!! While we were away, Ashleigh had her 10th birthday. Here we go in the double digits!! We spent the day at Gator Land and then took her shopping and went home for cake, which she helped choose..lol! So, when we got home, she informed me that she wanted to have a b-day party. So here's what I came up with for her invitations. Just something simple, sweet and fun. The image is from High Hopes and I used my CB "Happy Birthday" embossing folder. We're going to a place in town and all the girls will get to choose a ceramic piece and paint it! Ashleigh went to one there and loved it. Should be fun and this way, our house stays standing lol!

Don't forget to check out my layout for this week's Lasting Memories challenge! Come on out and play along, you have till Sat the 13th at 9pm EST! It's all about punches this week!!

Christmas Invitations

Good morning! First off, I want to thank everyone for your kind comments and emails regarding the loss of our kitty. It really meant alot to me. I knew the time would come and knew it would be hard, but wow, I wasn't prepared for the loss I felt! I'm feeling much better now, so thank you.

My hairdresser asked me to make her Christmas Open House Invites again this year and she wanted something simple yet elegant and less is more kind of idea. She gave me an idea of what she was looking for and this is what I came up with. I used my cricut to cut out 3x3" red squares, then I cut out 2 1/4 x 2 1/4" white squares. I then used my CTMH prisma glitter around the edges, cut out snowflakes with my Martha Stewart punch and added MS course glitter to those and finished it with curly ribbon. Let me tell you, there is glitter EVERYWHERE!! LOL! I did the information using my printer and velum.

This is my project that I didn't get done in time for Monday's "Anything Christmas" challenge! I hope you like it.
