Twin's wedding is now just four weeks away, so the wedding-related crafting is in high gear. Jennie is so organized and prepared that I think we could have the wedding tomorrow. Except that it would just be me and her with a whole carload of handmade decorations and paraphernalia, but no groom and no guests. So we'll wait for April 14 I guess. Probably for the best.
Jennie asked me to design the invitations, an honor and a responsibility
I took most seriously. Luckily she gave me good direction and liked
what I came up with. She wanted: COLOR! Lots of RED! and FLOWERS! Those
were her directions. She had seen
some invitations by Anna Bond of
Rifle Paper Co which served as our inspiration. Anna Bond's designs are absolutely
gorgeous and I could only hope that I could come up with something that
would at least approximate their stunning fabulousness.
I pulled out my case of acrylics which hadn't seen the light of day in
about 4 years and happily discovered that most of the tubes hadn't dried
up. I really had a ton of fun painting these little flowers. The color
scheme that Jennie has chosen is so full of life and joy, just like her
personality.
Weekend before last we had a printing, cutting, and assembling party. Then the invitations were on their way. Here we go!
