The Invites... And My blogoversary

I've just realised that today is my first blogoversary ( for some reason I thought I was next week lol) so I'll be doing some more candy this weekend.... 

Anyhow... I've spent a few long evenings making my SIL invites which were a little time consuming to say the least... It all started when I went to the Doncaster show last June and took Kirsty and MIL with me .... Whilst I went off visiting my usual suppliers etc. they wandered around and Kirsty stumbled upon the LOTV stand.. and a card made with this stamp.... Now I would never normally use an image on invites and probably never will again... anyhow 85 coloured images later... this is the final card.... I kept it quite simple....







I'll be back at weekend with my first card as a Saturday Girl... make sure you join us..

  8. Hi Jen. Congrats Jen on a year blogging, doesn't it go quick? I cannot believe mine is 2 in April!
    I made Wedding Invites for a friend using a LOTV image, the one where they are on a swing, and because I did not want to colour 75invites in I stamped them and embossed them and left them B&W, they lookded gorgeous, i was pleased with them.
    Yours are just gorgeous, but i know how much work you have put in. Debbiexx
