Since then I have been working on my 2nd of the 3 invites and as of tomorrow, I will be mailing my ideas to the happy couple, as they live in Arizona! I have about 10 different ideas to show them and am surprisingly happy with all of them! I'm hopeful that they will like at least one of my ideas - But who the heck knows! It is at this VERY point, that a website would come in handy, if not having professional pictures taken of my work. I tried taking my own... here's the best I could do:
For the 3rd wedding, the bride went online and found something she really likes - making my job a lot easier. She is still finalizing the colors, but for the most part we are good to go.
One thing's for sure! I'm learning a lot about ways to streamline my potential business. I think the biggest thing I've learned is get a feel for what the couple wants before creating ideas! As of right now I'm starting with a blank canvas, and with 3 TOTALLY different couples, it becomes QUITE exhausting! Yes, with each wedding I do, I'm building my collection, but it's still not quite enough. I think once I've done about 15 weddings, I'll be able to create an impressive portfolio.
This whole process is exciting and exhausting, and I truly enjoy it. Right now I just wish I had a room used ONLY for my card/invites. The new Martha Stewart Living has a couple great ideas for organizing!!!! I LOVE EACH OF THEM! It makes me want a house!! :( Just another reason to SAVE my $$$$$$ and not spend so much of it!
Ok, well my cat just knocked over (and broke) one of my mom's favorite vases, so I'm gonna say g'night! 'Air Kitten' AKA 'Distructor' Pictured here:

The last two look great..Very simple, but still elegant.
Lol, on your cat.
They are so pretty! I should have had you do our invitations!!
Thanks! I Also do baby announcements!!! ;)
Is that some sort of hint? :)
Noooooo... Huh uh! ;o)
Julia, please don't say the B word around us. We start to panic...
I LOVED your invitations! Since I'm an organizing freak, I should send you links to some of my favorite sites. I don't have a lot of space for my papercrafting supplies but if you look at the pictures of our house, you can see my small little chunk of wall in our small bedroom. At this time it's the best I could do. I'd love to see what you have so far!
