Wedding programs...

Here are the three wedding programs that I came up with for my brother in law's wedding.

1.)

Booklet style ~ The cover to this is patterned paper that I bought at Archivers. I printed the information on plain white card stock and then mounted on metallic brow paper. On the inside is where I plan to print all of the information about the ceremony. I used the brown ribbon to hold that paper and the cover together.

2.)
Flat card style ~ I printed all of the wedding ceremony information on plain white card stock and then double mounted it onto metallic brown and champagne paper. The branch and leaves I stamped on using a stamp set from Papertrey called "Out on a Limb - Revised". This is my new favorite set...it comes with leaves, buds, or blooms that can be stamped...I have a vision of using the blooms with a lavender color scheme.

3.)
Clipboard style ~ The front cover is where I printed the opening information onto a leaf textured paper. The card underneath is white as well...and this is where I will print the ceremony information. I will then attach these two cards onto a metallic brown pieced of card stock using a champagne ribbon.

I emailed all three options to my brother in law and his fiancee today. My brother in law really liked all three options...so we shall see which one he will pick. After that...I need to really get my act together because I have a feeling I will be putting together over a hundred programs. I'll keep you posted on my level of craziness at that point:)

Well, until later...

Bridal shower...

Awhile back I had mentioned that I volunteered to do the invitations for my future sister in law's bridal shower. Initially I thought I had 50 to do, but as it turns out it ended up being 60. A little intimidating at first, but once the design was set, all I had to do was assemble them. Here is the finished product.

It's a little hard to see, but there are tiny pink hearts falling down on the umbrella. Hopefully this close up shows it a little bit better. This would also be a cute invitation for a baby shower...change up the colors and instead of hearts...substitute little baby buggies falling.

The assembly process...almost finished...adding the hearts to each invitation. As a gift to the bride to be...I am making her 40 thank you cards. I came up with these two designs. I couldn't decide which one to do for all 40 so I'm going to do 20 of each.

Next on the agenda...the wedding programs. I have a couple of ideas brewing. I'm going to make them then let my brother in law and his fiance decide which one they want to go with. I will be sure to share those when they're hot off the press!

Well, that's all for now...
