I hope your week has been good. My post title says it all - this week's Sunday post is a mini one. As usual a million and one things to do and as usual running to try to keep up.
I completed a wedding card a friend ordered from me, produced a wedding stationery quotation that was requested last week, made some gift tags and sourced materials for decorating bags. A 'lots done' week, but not lots to show for it really.
For the gift tags I located prints of flowers which I attached to card. I will punch a small hole in the top and add matching ribbon. Gift tags always seem to sell well at craft fairs, so I am hoping these will be popular. Here is a photograph of the tags:
Here also is a photograph of the wedding card I made for a friend:
This wasn't easy to make as the brief was to match the colours of a gift envelope that had been made by someone else. Er, very difficult because how on earth do you find that out if you don't know who made the envelope? I managed to find a shade of yellow and pink that were similar to the paper used and added hearts and other trims which also complimented those on the envelope. A very frilly card.
that's my post-it note sized blog post for this week, I will be back next Sunday with hopefully lots more to write about. In the meantime have a great week and don't forget to visit my fellow blogging crafters on Handmade Monday. Milly will of course be back on Wednesday with her cats tails of Christmas Pie.
