Wedding season is coming!


I was up in the staff room the other day with some pieces of cardstock I was using on a workshop card when one of my colleagues came in.  I had the papers lying on the counter and she looked at them, quite thoughtfully I might add, saying, "Those are pretty colours."  Well, with Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant, of course they are.  She's getting married in Scotland this year so I asked if she was thinking about wedding colours. Turns out, she was.

We started to have a chat about invites and I suggested to her that she make her own, rather than purchasing something far less pretty, for a far greater price.  She mentioned how she had found some online, but that she wasn't in love with them.  I promised to make her a few samples with this colour scheme and that I would help her put them together.

Here's the first one that I cam up with.  It's simple and elegant.  Perfect, in my mind, for a hand-made invite.

A La Card Monkey 90


After I spent a luxurious two hours on the couch reading, sipping coffee, and snuggling with the pets, I finally decided to get dressed and do something productive.  By productive, I meant fun.  So into the craft room I went!  I knew I wanted to continue working with my new Attic Boutique, so I poked around for some sketches.  A La Card Monkey won this week.  I love love LOVE the colour combos on this DSP.

Speaking of this DSP, if you'd like a share of it (one 6 X 6 piece of each 12 designs) please check this post.
