It's been awhile since I have posted something. I have been a busy girl these days. I'm still working on the 200 invite order I got. They are coming a long good. I have my brother's graduation announcements almost finsihed and I will be sending those out at the end of the month. I still can't believe my little brother will be graduating High School. Crazy! :) This weekend I will be taking him out to do his Senior pictures. I can't wait to see how they turn out.
I do have some cards I will be posting soon that I made last month for birthdays and a bachelorette party. So be watching for them!
I recently sent a girl some wedding invite samples for her daugther to see. Hopefully I will have another order to do. Her wedding isn't till February so I will have some time to get them done and not be rushed around. So figures crossed that she liked some of my samples.
The same lady also asked if I would do photography at the wedding too. I'm very excited to have my first wedding to shoot. I will be doing lots of practice this summer with taking pictures. I also would like to go get a photography book to read. I love taking pictures so I can't wait to start taking more and more as I learn different things. Please be watching for posts under the "Photography" tab.
That's all for now...
Can you believe it?! It's almost graduation time for some people out there. I can't believe that my brother will be graduations high school in just a few months. I remember him being so little running around the house being mean to me. I will say he didn't get far being mean to me I was mean right back. That is my right as a big sister isn't it? LOL But he is all grown up now and graduation high school and off into the real world he goes. It's so sad but it's also a happy time. I have been so happy to see him grow. I love him and am very proud of him. I look forward to watching him grow and start his life. :)
Now speaking of graduation....I'm making his graduation announcements. I'm very happy with the way they turned out! I hope to be able to make more of these as others children graduate. I'm sure I will be making announcements again in about a year as i will have sister graduating high school next....WOW that's just crazy, I'm starting to feel old. Haha
Also, please be watching for my brother's Senior pictures to be posted. I do have the honor of doing these for him as well. :)
I was asked a few weeks if I would do a friends wedding invites. I went to high school with her so I was excited that she wanted me to make them for her. I made her a couple of samples to choose from and they turned out super cute! She did love one of those ones that I made so I now get to order everything and make them for her! She 200 of them so I will be busy for awhile making them. I'm excited to do these for her! Here are some pictures of the samples I made. She wants the one that folds and has the strips in each corner. I'm very happy how these turned out so I'm excited for her to share with her friends and family her cute invites for her special day!
I still continue to work on....This week I have worked on something every night. It keeps me busy and I'm enjoying everything I have been making. This project I just finished was shadow box labels. A friend is making a shadow box of all his son's wrestling metals he won this year. He asked if I could make labels to go under each metal to say the tournament and what place he got. Well of course I took on this project and let me say it was easy! The labels turned out cute and I can't wait to see them in the shadow box!
I can't believe that it's already March! This year is just flying by....I'm not doing so good on one of my goals for this year, which is scrapbook more. I started a scrapbook back in January and wanted to have it done by the end of January or beginning of Feb, but as you can see that didn't happen. I'm not sure what happened to the time. I guess I need to get in gear if I plan on getting a few done this year.
I have been working on other little projects. I have had a few different frame orders and they turned out cute! I also have been trying to be better at making birthday cards and what not for people as well. So another goal for this year to focus on. It's being going good so far. I have made a gift card holder for my sister's birthday. Tonight I just did a baby shower card, and I still have 2 birthday cards and a bachelorette party one to make this month. I have a few things to keep me busy. I plan on giving my scrapbook a little more attention as well.
A few days ago I posted a name frame/collage frame I working on for a girl at work. She order 2 of them so I thought I would share the other as well. I think they turned out super cute and the girl I made them for just loved them. It's makes me so happy to see how excited people get when they see my work I have done for them. It does put a smile on my face knowing I did a wonderful job for them. :)
This is a project that I just finished on Sunday afternoon. A girl from work ordered 2 frames from me. One was for cheerleading and another a collage frame for friends. This was a gift for her daughter. I have finished 1 of the 2 frames. I actually tried something different with the name on the frame. Instead of using stamps I used my new machine I got for Christmas called the Cricut. This machine is pretty cool and cuts out letters shapes and more. I used the Cricut to do the name and let me tell you I just love how this turned out. Once the other frame is done I will post for everyone to see! These are also posted under the tab Handmade Cards & More. I looked forward to making these kind of collage frames for our house from our vacations and what not. They are so much fun!
Last month I started a new scrapbook of our vacation to Las Vegas. It's way over due we went to Vegas back in 2007. Yes this is how far I'm behind in making our scrapbook for it. One of my goals this year is to get more scrapbooks done for our vacations we have taken. So I'm hoping I have more done before the end of the year. Here are some pictures of the pages I have already done. I will be posting my progress on here as I get more pages done. Hope you enjoy!
