Ahhhhh NORMALITY!!!!!! The girls are back at school, Christmas has been done nad dusted, just a few decs to put away, I am back at work, life is normal again!!!!
And it is Wednesday, time for the wekly snoop across the crafty desks of blogland, led by the amazing and talented
Julia.
So on my desk ... wedding invite mock ups ...ekkkk!!! I have offered (remind me to keep my mouth shut in future!!) to make the wedding invites for one of the child-minded children's parents as she is rushed off her feet. She wants navy blue and cream, ribbon and pearls would be nice ... so I have given her a few options. Which would you choose??? I like the 3rd one in from the left ... going to push for that one!!
Hopefully after the school run and before E arrives at 11am I will get some crafting time ... got a date with alcohol inks and my airbrush ... finally had a go at T!m's alcohol inks and propellant ... using my promarker airbrush and with some playing have realised that you get a fab splot if you spray the drop as it drops ... so much fun!!!!! DH has shaken his head rather alot at me!! I have clapped my hands alot ...!!!!

All the invites look very pretty, I am sure she will be thrilled with any of them. Families you just have to love them!!! A usual comment at my house is "How long did that take to make?"
Happy New Year!! I like the 3rd from the left one... its the contrast of the dark pearls against the white/cream paper, I think!!
Your invites look lovely hope she picke the design you like.
Would love to see the results of the sirbrush techniques even if O/h doesnt!
Have fab wednesday

Lovely and classy and I think I agree with your choice of invite although they are all lovely.
Not sure what this technique is that you talk about - must investigate.
Thanks for sharing - Hugs, Neet #1
I know just what you mean about offering to do wedding invites! Sounds like a good idea at the time, but then when it comes to dealing with the fussy bride it is something else altogether. LOl
I did that last year and had to make 12 (I kid you not) mock ups before the bride was happy! The wedding is this Saturday so maybe I will show the invites next week.
Happy WOYWW
It is the simplest things that please us most - I would have clapped my hands too at the joy of splotting!! Have fun creating :D
Happy New Year!
Hugs, LLJ #34 xx
The invites look great! I am more intrigued by your alcohol ink experiment... hmmmm!! Time to get crafty me-thinks!
happy new year cathy...thanks for the first crafty snoop of the year..wishing you a happy 2012...hugs kath (29) xxx
I'm with you - third from the left. Wish things were normal round here, lol!

Happy New year to you. I hope 2012 is a full, busy, fun and creative time for you. The invites look super classy, I'm sure she'll like them all.

I'm hopeless at choosing, but in terms of multiples I think I'm with you, the ribbon on the 'preferred' invite will be a lot easier to reproduce! Other than that, they're all lovely, she'll be thrilled! love the hand clapping. Excitement of your discovery...and your DHs reaction...yep, everything's normal!!
Third from left for me as well - think its the ribbon across the top that wins out.
So your ribbon box is just like mine, full to overflowing. I forced myself to sort it out yesterday and binned quite a bit of short pieces I had been 'saving'.

Yep 3rd from the left for me although all beautiful, can't wait to see the results with the airbrush, Hugs May x x x x x
I think its a mix of 2nd and 3rd ...love 2nd except for the ribbon ...for that I love 3rd...but its not for me lol. Good luck.
As long as she likes one of your samples that's all that matters. I prefer the one of the far right but that's no help, lol! Love the excitement of a new crafty discovery too! And as much as I look forward to a holiday or some time off, the routine of life is very comforting too.

The invitations all look nice. I'd like to see what you're doing with the airbrush. Sounds like you squealed with excitement!!!
Isn't it fun to be a "mad scientist." hee hee
I love the invitations! I am sure she is going to love them!

Third from the left is my favourite but all are cool. Your alcohol ink technique sounds fab! Enjoy the rest of your Wednesday and the week xx
As much as I love Christmas and everything that goes with it, I love putting everything away once it's over and getting back into a routine.
Well done you for offering to make the invites - look forward to seeing the results.

Lovely, all of them,lets hope she agrees with your preference. Happy new Year, Shaz x
I love the invites and your experiments sound fun. Happy, crafty and creative 2012! x Jo
Gosh well good luck with the invites!!!the colours are great happy new year and happy woyww, trace x
I like the invite on the far left the best. It just screams "wedding invite" to me more than the others. Yes, back to normal after the holidays--hip hip hooray!
They are all fab!
They are all so lovely, I think she'll find it difficult to choose - I'm wondering how many you have to do - they all look very classy (Hazel, WOYWW 108) x
why! why! why! as soon as we get back to normal, we make work for ourselves. good luck with the wedding invites . . . I like the 3rd from the left too.
have fun

All look good to me. Don't envy you but will probably take on some project or other even after saying never again. Happy New year and thanks for sharing. Anne x
Yes I completely agree with your choice although they are all lovely. What a lovely box of blue ribbons and I see you have your chardonnay handy, all in all a lovely workspace! Happy WOYWW #5 Robin Panzer Art Studio 33
All the invites are lovely ... couldn't possibly choose between them. Hope you got your crafting time as planned - sounds like fun. All the best for 2012, Elizabeth x #60
Hmmn! Tricky to choose. 1 or 3 if I had to.
Would love to join you with your alcohol ink and propellant session. I tried to explain this to Hubby once and I got the raised eyebrows look. The fact I was asking to borrow his compressor at the time met with a NO!! Too big to carry up the stairs!! Haa Haa!
Thanks for your visit.
The invites would scare me but I am sure you will do an amazing job and that she will love them...happy woyww...xx
Hi there, ah they are all lovely - hope she likes them too, and yes it is good to settle into a routine again thanks so much for popping over, and for sharing. Happy WOYWW! Love, Shaz in Oz. x #24
I look forward to seeing those finished!
Thanks for stopping by....
