Certificates and Family Heirlooms

This week my schedule picked back up after the typical July break.  I've worked on wedding envelopes for the fall but I've also worked on some certificates and a family heirloom.
It's always fun to add that final personal touch to a special certificate.

"Love is the largest of all"

This was one of my neatest projects yet.  It is a little book (3" x 4") that will go inside of a prayer book that has been carried in 13 different family weddings since 1946.  

Each bride in this family has carried the book and they wanted to have something with all the names listed.  I was honored to do it. Such a neat family heirloom!!!

More Place Cards

These place cards were purchased at Hobby Lobby. They are ivory and the decoration on them is actually raised.  It's fuzzy and has a soft, velvet look to it.  The brown script is a nice finishing touch.

Song Lyrics and Wedding Envelopes

This is a neat gift idea!  I do a lot of song lyrics, but this time, they just ordered a portion of the song.  This is a 5 x 7 on natural paper in black italic.  The song has been stuck in my head all night!  Ha!

I love doing colored inks on envelopes. This is a brown ink in script with traditional zip code.  The return address is brown as well as the lining on the inside.  Nice finishing touch!  Congratulations Meredith!

Thank You Cards

These "Thank You" signs were very popular this year!  Here's what one couple did with theirs.  I received it in the mail today.  It's always nice to see the finished product!  Congratulations Christine & Jeremy!

Silver Envelopes, Gold Place Cards and An Adoption Gift

I worked on several different things today.....
Metallic Silver Envelopes!  How cool is that?  I did black ink on the outer silver envelope and silver ink on the black inner envelope.  Nice finishing touch!  Congratulations Lindsay!

Working on place cards for William Bainbridge Steel Designs again.  These are ivory with Gold Ink in Script.

Last but not least, I wanted to share this idea.  A few years ago a dear friend of mine adopted a baby and I had found this poem in a book of mine.  I personalized it by adding the baby's name and birth information.

Fun With Table Names

Don't be afraid to have fun and be creative with your table names. This bride had a fun idea and I thought I would share it.  She and her fiance met at UF so she decided to name her tables at the reception instead of numbering them.  She named each table after something from UF, whether a building or a person.  I wrote them on papers she designed to go into these frames.  Each frame is different and will be given away at the end of the night as a favor.  How fun is that?
