Weekly Feature

This weekly feature is brand new in my shop...just listed it a few minutes ago!!! I didn't think my Custom Name and Word Albums could get any cuter...but I think they just have :) My new Custom Name and Word Albums have POCKETS!!!

These are just like my original Custom Name or Word Albums...but even cuter!!!

The possibilities really are endless with these albums!*Make them into a guest book (lined inserts available)

*Give them as a retirement gift and have coworkers leave a little message in each pocket

*Have party guests write spcecial messages to the honoree

*Tell someone all the reasons why you love them :)

*Place hidden journaling on tags to remember all the special details from your photos

*And Many More!!!

The album is hand cut from heavy-duty chipboard and covered on both sides with cardstock in the colors of your choice (2-3 colors). The letters are then covered in matching patterned paper. Pockets are added by machine stitching cardstock and adding them to the pages with super-tacky adhesive. The album is decorated with quality scrapbook embellishments to match your theme. The album is bound with 2 metal rings that are covered with matching ribbon. Then all you do is add your photos to the front of the pockets :)

How it works:

*Choose your name/word

*Choose your colors

*Choose your theme (optional)

*Choose between lined or blank pocket inserts

What do you think...super cute, right!

Spring Weddings

It will soon be the start of "wedding season". We have already started receiving invites and I have been making them since last November.



The thing I like about making wedding invitations is getting to be a part of something so special. I love working with the couple to get them the perfect invitation. Getting a glimpse into their lives and what they want their wedding to say about them. I have so much fun choosing the right colors and embellishments to decorate the invites with.



I recently did a fun pocket invitation with silver thread stitching which I thought was really cute. (I had to replace the photo with one of my own as I did not have permission from the photographer to use it for advertising.) The colors were so great for the winter wedding. The dark red just spoke Christmas to me and the silver thread gave it that extra something to make it stand out. The couple absolutely loved them and thought the thread looked like wire woven through the paper...so elegant. The inside paper is silver as well with a shine to it. You can't have a wedding without some sparklies :)



Here are a couple of pics of these invites:



And as always, here is the listing to purchase a sample of this invitation:

There are also several others there to check out as well. And I am more than willing to do custom work :)

Hope everyone has a wonderful day and weekend and I hope you enjoy the "wedding season" as it is upon us!
