Parisian Chic Invitation

I began designing this invitation back in June when we had the cuttlebug Wedding Affaire week.
I thought it was too much with all the ruffles, black butterfly and fancy cutting. Then I decided to finish making it and finally here it is on the blog.

I canoot imagine myself making 100 of these :) But I do love it.



Am creat modelul acesta in iunie cu o cazia cuttlebug Wedding Affaire week, dar mi s-a parut ca e prea-prea cu panglica incretita, fluture negru, taieturi complicate. In cele din urma am hotarat sa o finalizez si iat-o pe blog. Chiar nu ma imaginez facand 100 de astfel de invitatii, dar imi place cum arata.





[Edit]: This is my second entry for the Craft Garden October Challenge. Too bad there are only 2 entries allowed. I have another pink ribbon invitation to show you probably tomoroow.

Wedding Affaire Day 3

Parisian Chic Guestbook

It's day 3 of the Wedding Affaire at the Cuttlebug Challenge blog.
I had a very long day finishing an invitation order, beginning another, purchasing supplies, and designing some more.

I also had my internet connection down for several hours so although I am extremely tired I had to stop by the blog and show you my new additions to the Parisian Chic Collection.


The image above shows the guestbook I have designed for the event. As usual, featuring my coptic stitch and my new favorite flower die from cuttlebug: "Dandelion"


Then the necklace. How versatile is a pearl necklace. You can just add a flower or butterfly brooch and.... voila! change of looks. I made mine to match the event theme and colors and I must say I am loving this collection more and more. My sketchbook is full of ideas for more items.

Another hair pin. Oh, I love making these and they look so good in my hair. Too bad I can't photograph myself :) Of course, they won't resist water, but how about making them from fabric. I must try that one day.

I am not sure if I will have time for another post soon, but do follow the Cuttlebug Challenge blog for the rest of the week. The design team has some incredible ideas to share.
