Creativity in different forms

I've always liked to design things. I just have never put my mind to actually mastering a lot of things. And, although I like to work with paper, I do not think I'd like to scrapbook. I have a very addicting personality and I think if I ever delved into scrap booking I would be A) broke B) unemployed and C) divorced because I would probably become so engulfed in it that I would have no life. But a special occasion came about and I insisted on being the creative force behind it. My best friend is getting married in November and I wanted to custom design her invitations to her bridal shower and lingerie party. I took a simple card stock, paper and velum concept but put them together two different ways and came out with two very different invitations. I really like both designs and am very proud of how they turned out.


This is the invitation that I did for the bridal shower. It was a "western" theme to it and I wanted a very raw and natural feeling to it. Megan's favorite color is also red. Lots of red. Which you can tell when you see the lingerie shower invite:


The lingerie shower was glued on all four corners so it was a completely flat invitation but the bridal shower invitation was tied together so it had three loose layers. I really liked how both of them turned out :) I did two graphic invitation too this week but they are still in the finish stages so I'll post them when they are done! I really look forward to doing more of them for other people.
