style me {pretty}

Hello blog peeps! I have been gone way too long. Yes, I can go on and on about the many reasons I have been remissed with my blog posts, but why bother, huh? The important is I am here to share with you my stories and creations.

My share today is about the wedding of my good friend Lily last August to her long time beau, Randy. Early on she asked me to be one of her secondary sponsors to which I said yes to. However, what excited me the most was when she sought my help to wrap and pretty up her wedding tokens for the sponsors, entourage & guests. As you will see in the photo below, I did my best to dress up the plain white boxes that housed the solar flashlights she gave away. Later on, she informed me that many of her guests didn't want to unwrap the gifts because they felt they were too pretty to ruin.

I also made "Thank You" cards for their wedding sponsors.

In keeping with her color motif, I used an eggplant colored cardstock as the background for the sentiment. I kept it very simple by adding a crystal heart on top of the "O".

That's it for now. I'll be back real soon. PROMISE!

B & W Affair

I was commissioned to make 100 pieces of wedding favors a month ago. I never met the couple, but I was just told that their wedding colors were black & white. My initial reaction was, "Whaaat?". Why? Because weddings are happy occasions therefore, only happy colors should be used in them.

However, after I mulled over the idea I realized that the colors black and white need not represent sadness. Both colors used individually or together conveys simplicity and elegance.


So, with these in mind along with function, I turned ordinary writing pads into something very special. Dontcha think so?
