Wedding table plan, menus, place cards, the whole ensemble...

Hiya peeps, I thought I'd show you what I've been doing lately and the reason for my absence these past couple of weeks......my best friends wedding is fast approaching, you may remember me showing the invites that I'd made her some weeks ago, well here's the rest of the wedding stationery ensemble.  This is the first time I've ever done anything like this, although it was a  monotonous task I'm pleased with the result and more importantly so were the soon to be newly weds.

Their colour scheme is ivory/cream and black which I think looks rather striking and sophisticated.

Here's a close up photo of the place card, table names and menus.

I took these photos in my dining room, funny how coincidently the colours match.....lol!!


My friends future daughter-in law has now asked me to make her wedding stationery, their colour scheme being hot pink, black and white.  Me thinks I'd better get making some samples up quick smart....lol!!

Birthday Tilda

Hiya crafty peeps, I can't believe it's been over a week since I last posted but it's not for the want of trying, I've had problems with my computer and Blogger plus hubby has changed our ISP so our internet has been off for a few hours today whilst my son and I tried to figure out how to set up our new ISP.....Then to top it all off I've spent three hours in casualty this afternoon/evening with my eldest daughter, got a phone call from school at lunchtime saying Georgia is in terrible pain could I pick her up.....oh gosh by the time I got there she was in agony, I'm thinking it's her appendix so drives straight to casualty, they took blood and water samples, give her a thorough check up and don't know what's wrong with her.  She's been dosed up on painkillers and Ibruprofen and is now snuggled up in bed with a hot water bottle......why do things always go wrong as soon as hubby goes away to work......typical....lol!!

So onto todays cards, which I made over two weeks ago now but not had chance to post them.  I've coloured both Birthday Tilda with Copics.  Papers on the first card are MME, sentiment is Stampin Up.

Tilda with Balloon has been coloured with Copics and a sprinkling of Stickles

papers are DCWV and Stamping Up

Swirls cut on my Cricut.
