10 Years Stong

::5 years::

Ten years ago my sister married her soul mate and i was given the task to design the wedding invitation. This was "the one" that launched my passion for creating wedding invitations.

On their 5th anniversary I decided to redesign the invitation as a gift to them. My first intention was to frame the original, but i seriously don't have it. I never kept one for myself. The files are probably on a 3.5 floppy disk! So, there's no way I'll ever recover that invitation.



So, for their 10 year anniversary which was on September 25th, I have a new design! It's still in line with their color scheme and it's updated. I think I'm starting a new tradition! Here's to another 5 years and counting, Ate Vi & Ron. I love you guys!

I'll be participating as a vendor at the 1st Annual Holiday Boutique for Madi's Place on Saturday, November 7th and Sunday, November 8th.

Karrie Rodriguez is the brains behind this wonderful event. We connected through Facebook and I was intrigued when she posted about wanting "crafty people" for a boutique she's organizing. So I responded that I was interested and now I'm super excited about it! From the first meeting I've already met some wonderful people and huge doors have opened for double-sided tape.

A Bit of Inspiration

We all get in our funks and need a bit of a creative push. I stumbled upon Lizzy Jansen while on My Love For You is a Stampede of Horses. (Love that blog name!) Her combination of water color and collages with handwritten type is pure bliss. Feast your eyes on her lovely art here.
