Hi everyone!
Sorry it has been so long. I have been working on some other projects, one of which I'm excited to share with you today!
I have the privilege of being the matron-of-honor in my dear friend Lisa's wedding, and along with that comes the fun of planning her bridal shower. The shower is coming up soon, so last week I went and walked through our venue and got to work on designing/putting together/mailing out the invites.
I love sparkles (what girl doesn't?) and have fallen in love with pink and gold. I've been collecting ideas on Pinterest for months now, but have arranged some of my favorites into this mood board:

top left, middle, top right, bottom right, bottom left
The shower doesn't necessarily have a theme, but the plan is for it to be girly and fun. Invitations are important because they are the first taste your guests will have of the festivities, so I wanted to design something that was elegant but whimsical, and, of course, heavy on the pink and gold.
I scoured google and pinterest for clip art and fonts, and found some really great stuff.
Here is how they turned out:



I was so excited about the cute Vintage Seed Packet stamps that are out right now. Aren't they great?
I found the clip art for the lace background via ClipArt ETC, manipulated the image to make it symmetrical and changed the color tone.
The fonts used were:
Basic Title Font
Lavenderia
Bergamot Ornaments
KG Flavor and Frames
I purchased all of the supplies (gold doilies, cardstock, envelopes and gold washi tape for the envelope seals) at Hollo's Paper Craft in Brunswick for around $25. I made about 50 invitations (SO CHEAP). The most expensive part was postage (yuck).
I can't wait for next month and have been compiling all of my ideas and stock piling supplies.
P.S. here is the venue space:

I. can't. wait.
