Wow...I take the prize for the world's worst blogger. It's been way too long! I promise it's for a good reason though....

I have been working crazy hard on creating some wedding invitations!! A bunch of my special friends have been getting engaged so what better motivation to try something new!

The designs at the right are just a few of the ideas I have come up with. Along with the invitations I've also created RSVP cards, enclosure cards and thank you notes!

I seriously can't even tell you how much fun I have been having making these. I've been playing with lace and ribbon and burlap and fabric! They make me so happy when I look at them :)

**Thank you so much to my sweet friend Elizabeth and her wonderful fiance Craig for letting me use their names!!

I know it's only February, but I am getting so excited about summer and summer parties!

I made this invitation a little different than my other ones because I wanted it to look kind of rustic to get you in the mood for a great outdoor BBQ! I took a brown paper bag and crumpled it up for the center piece so if you saw it in real life it has great definition.

I also wasn't ready to retire my Valentine's Day ribbon so I incorporated some of that too! This design would also be great for a bridal or baby shower!

Summer countdown...3 months!

I can almost taste it. We're getting so close!

This is definitely one of my new favorites. I loooooooove the lace :)

Getting closer!!

Even if you're not a fan of the big day, you have to admit that the cards are fun and happy to look at :)

Only 14 more days until my favorite "holiday!!!" Ok, so I know Valentine's Day isn't an actual holiday, but what's not to like about a whole day devoted to love?

I'm a huge fan so naturally I couldn't wait to get started on some Valentine's Day cards. The first one I made is really playful with the red and black contrast and the sparkly heart in the middle. I know just who I want to give it to :)

These next two weeks are going to be fun and busy! I can't wait to show you all my day of love creations.

I love it when I get a request for a set of cards and the buyer simply says "they love dogs!" I thought of all sorts of ideas I could do with that theme but I decided to stick with something simple that followed my card philosophy :)

I used thicker jute on this card and I really like how it turned out. I embossed the paw print and stamped the initials using regular ink to give it a contrast and I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

And the recipient loved them! So my job here is a success and I'm excited what else I can make with this great stamp!

My boyfriend's sister got me some great paper for Christmas so I started working on some birthday invites.

The invitation on the left is turning out to be one of my newest favorites. It's even cuter in real life. The colors are sooooo pretty together and just like the other invitation I made a while back, I love that you can just write your event information straight onto the invitation.

It takes me back to when I was in elementary school :)
