Now over to our 'Tutorial'......

For a change I thought it would be nice to showcase our 'Anything but a Card' creations.
Over the past few weeks months I have been working on x2 Wedding Stationery orders so I thought this would fit in well. I had wanted to get my sewing machine out and have a play on that for this challenge, but all of my fabric and ideas for that will have to wait for another day ;)

Here's a taster of the the 2 Weddings I've just done....




My tutorial for this challenge is a little different - it's more of a Tips & Ideas section.
I am in no way claiming to be a top Wedding Stationery producer - this is only the 3rd 'full' wedding I've done, I have done about 10 where they just wanted me to do the Table Plan and Menu's or the Order of Service, Place Names, Menus, etc. There are some awesome Handmade Wedding Stationery makers out there, and I hope one day, to be as successful as many of them :)
This is just a little run-down of things I find help me when I'm planning an order...



Here's some loads more pics of my latest Wedding Stationery order.......

A Taster!


Hi to all of my Blogging Buddies - hope you are all well :)

As many of you know I have been MIA for the past few weeks months, and that's all to do with a couple of Wedding Stationery orders I've had. 
I can happily say they are now both done and dusted - and even married too - so I can now start having some 'relaxed fun' with my card making and re-joining in with my favorite challenges again!

Talking of which, I will be showcasing some of the Wedding Stationery over at Top Tip Tuesday for this Tuesday's challenge I'm hosting - so come back then to see what has been keeping me up till the wee hours of the mornings :)

Here's a peep....
