here for you!

I decided to pull out my wooden stamps for some good old fashioned stamping,  I haven't seemed to reach for these sets since Stampin' Up! came out with clear mounts, but there is something about the solidity of wooden stamps that is really fun to play with.  Anyhow... here is what I created tonight.  I was thinking sympathy when I created this.  The other fun thing that I used... naturals paper...if you havent tried it yet, it is beautiful and adds a mellow touch to any project.  I also ordered the matching envelopes, because I like things to be matchy matchy like that. LOL.. hope you like it!

Where Have I Been?

I apologize for not posting lately, I have been up to my ears making wedding invitations with my soon to be sister in law.  She had a vision for beautiful invitation packages created out of hand made paper, but no tools, supplies, etc. to make them.  She lives in Ucluelet with my brother-in-law, and their son, so she packed up and came down for the make and take of the century!  It ended up taking 4 nights (some rather late), a few bottles of wine, a couple of Dora bandaids for my slice with a paper cutter (LOL), and lots of munchies.  I am really pleased with the results.  They are gorgeous IRL, these pics really don't do them justice.  But here is a little peak at what we did....
This is the package, all closed up!


The folder opened up, with the invitation laying inside.


The invitation.  Notice the little fork bow?  I tied about 80 of them!
