Post coming tomorrow...

We moved.

We did it, we made the big move to the big city, and now life has been a state of utter chaos since we made the decision (February... yes, chaos for 6 months).  Now is the unpacking.  With 3 under 5, and boxes up the wazoo, crafty time has been.... put on "hold."

But, I *NEED* to get back to my Stampin' Up! business.  I have wonderful opportunities awaiting here in our new city (Surrey - which I'm quickly falling in love with, by the way), and I'm itching to get crafty again!

Proper post coming sometime tomorrow (before Saturday anyway ;) ), with a couple of pics of samples.

Oh, AND... I finally published my FB fan page.... Go check it out: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Nutz-4-Stamps/465037425127 (shortened url coming too - stupid fb is glitching - heh, what's new?).  Anyway, go "like" me... I need some folks on there! ;)

Hugs,
Dinnae

Wedding Invites for Helen

One of my customers from my technique club, Roberta, had a friend at work getting married this year.  She put into her head that she should hand-make her wedding invites (GREAT idea, Roberta!!!! :) :) ), and so, I designed 7 different invites (all very different), using her key colour - green.


Then we set a date, got together with 4 of her friends, and made up the 32 invites.  She was nervous when she got there (a newbie card-maker), but had a blast, and was so happy with the result.


Here's the end result of the layout she chose.






We used:

  • Certainly Celery - #105125 and Very Vanilla - #101650 card stock 
  • Certainly Celery Classic ink -  #105217
  • Basic Jewels - Pearls - #119247
  • Elegant Bouquet embossing folder - #115964
  • Valentined Defined (heart reeds) - #123057
  • Full of Life (fairy tale sentiment) - #111500
  • 3/16" corneer rounder - #119871
  • single-faced satin ribbon (Walmart - her choice, not mine - single-faced ribbon is horrible to tie!!!!)
  • I typed the insides up on my computer and printed them out, using Adobe InDesign.  (Sorry, I felt it necessary to blur out contact and address deets. ;) )



I got the inspiration for this layout from Angie Juda - she is a very talented demo in the states. :)


Hugs,
D

WOW

Have I truly not posted on here in THAT long?  Had a baby, a holiday, and now have since done a lot of technique clubs (they started just after that last post), and another 2 crops!!!!


I have some stuff to post, but I think I'm going to space it all out, gradually, otherwise, I'll have a 10 foot long post with billions of projects on it. ;)


Something new to be posted tomorrow! :)
