I'm Still Here!

Hi everyone!

Although I promised myself to enJOY

a relaxing, slow-paced summer this year,

another one has flown right on by.

I thought I would share some of the favors and decorations

I was commissioned to create

for Jessie's Sweet 16 party.

This is the sign in book.

It is also the very first book I ever created from scratch.

I printed each page with the image of an antique postcard blank.

I thought it fit the summer theme perfectly.

This is the framed piece

that will sit on top of her portrait

at the entrance to the party.

Jessie wanted special ornaments

for each of her closest friends.

(sorry for the poor picture quality on this one)

125 drilled, glittered, tagged and tied

scallop shells were the favors for all the other guests.

Some details of the name banner I created

using all sorts of bits and bobs.

I loved working in this color pallet!

So cool,

So Summer!

Tuesday Trading Card Swap

will be returning

this Tuesday,

August 23.

There will be a few changes,

I hope you join me.

enJOY a lovely weekend

and Your Blessings,

Kimberly

Here's What I Made Today!

I received a phone call from a long-time customer.

She found me through another customer, who commissioned me several years ago for her daughter's Sweet 16 party.

Well, it is her 25th anniversary, and her dear friend, asked me to create a wall hanging in which they will be able to place their wedding and/or anniversary photos.

This color combination of burgundy, green and gold was requested, and honestly, a bit of a challenge, as commissioned work often is. Fingers crossed that the anniversary couple are happy with the final results.

enJOY Your Blessings,

Kimberly
