Congrats Ceri :)


Just wanted to share what I was doing this weekend - for those of you not 'friends' with me on FB. Those of you who are I apologise for showing you this again - I know you've already seen loads over the weekend!

As some of you are aware my daughter, Ceri, has been Irish Dancing for about 12 years now and most years we go to Dublin for her to compete in the Irish Open Championships. However we didn't go last year, nor the year before as she was having a break from competing.
So you can imagine how chuffed we were when this weekend she came 2nd!


How proud am I :)

Now over to our 'Tutorial'......

For a change I thought it would be nice to showcase our 'Anything but a Card' creations.
Over the past few weeks months I have been working on x2 Wedding Stationery orders so I thought this would fit in well. I had wanted to get my sewing machine out and have a play on that for this challenge, but all of my fabric and ideas for that will have to wait for another day ;)

Here's a taster of the the 2 Weddings I've just done....




My tutorial for this challenge is a little different - it's more of a Tips & Ideas section.
I am in no way claiming to be a top Wedding Stationery producer - this is only the 3rd 'full' wedding I've done, I have done about 10 where they just wanted me to do the Table Plan and Menu's or the Order of Service, Place Names, Menus, etc. There are some awesome Handmade Wedding Stationery makers out there, and I hope one day, to be as successful as many of them :)
This is just a little run-down of things I find help me when I'm planning an order...



Here's some loads more pics of my latest Wedding Stationery order.......

Save the Dates...




Day Invite (with Belly Band) - Evening Invite...
Day invite has pocket section to hold info cards...


Wedding Breakfast - Order of Service...



Place Cards...
Each has a love quote on the back.
Every guest on each table had a different quote!

Guest Book...

Table Plan...




Post Box...

Info Panel, another Love Quote...

A Taster!


Hi to all of my Blogging Buddies - hope you are all well :)

As many of you know I have been MIA for the past few weeks months, and that's all to do with a couple of Wedding Stationery orders I've had. 
I can happily say they are now both done and dusted - and even married too - so I can now start having some 'relaxed fun' with my card making and re-joining in with my favorite challenges again!

Talking of which, I will be showcasing some of the Wedding Stationery over at Top Tip Tuesday for this Tuesday's challenge I'm hosting - so come back then to see what has been keeping me up till the wee hours of the mornings :)

Here's a peep....

I am here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Hi Bloggers ;)

I'm so sorry I've been MIA! I had a bit of a 'Power Break' from all things blog related - I think I may have been trying to burn the candles at both ends, but the thing is I'd blow one end out before getting the match to the other!!!

I am easing myself back slowly - due to the fact my brother's getting married Saturday so I wont be here over the weekend ....and I still have the Table Plan to finish!
(why do family always think you only need the finalised info a week beforehand!)
