What I'm Up to

I think I will designate Thursday for my shop update info... to share a little of what I am doing at the moment. Right now I am swimming in INVITES... Wedding Invites that is. I am so excited about these beautiful and very custom Invitations that I am doing. The bride plans on mailing them in October so as soon as she does, I'll post some photos!

I am also busy as a bee getting ready for my upcoming Craft Show on Nov. 7 and 8... Christmas goodies are being produced at a rapid rate. Look for all my great tags and cards to be posted at my online shop in the next few weeks. I will have at least a dozen great cards and adorable tags of all kinds. I have been experimenting with new sizes in tags, new styles, new tag ties, and it has been so much fun! Can't wait to share them.

The Doodle Story

Today I begin what I hope will be a new feature here on my blog: the Doodle Story where I share a bit of the story behind the doodle.

This card, simply titled "Wedding Dress", was created (like so many of my card designs) because I needed a card for my sister's bridal shower gift.




While I can't pinpoint exactly where the idea for the image itself came from, I imagine that somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered a photo from my own wedding, a close up of my bridal bouquet which i just loved loved loved. While nowhere the same image, you could call them sister looks.

The Design has gone through a few transformations from where it began. The original version, which I used for my sister, had almost no color in it, only the flowers and a few of the triangle lines on the outside. But as I began to rethink the design, I thought that adding some color to the swirl hatch might help the white of the dress POP! which, it did. The version shown here is one that I love.
