Free DIY Wedding Invites

As a budding graphic designer who did her own invitations... (crazy, YES! -- worth it? YES, YES, YES!) Anywhoo, one of the things I wanted to do was try and share my invite with others.  The basics have been left out for you to fill in as necessary.

As I am not sure how it will look right now, I will post just the invite. If I get requests for more, I will post the coordinating bottle tags, bottle labels, mailing labels and RSVPs too.  This was for a message in a bottle wedding invitation, so if anyone is having a destination or beach wedding, this might be for you!

There are some crafty tutorials on the web but I am more that willing to post my winning tutorial here!  So here is the basic invite:

The font was Baroque Script. I've not worked out how to make this an editable download so if you like it or want something similar, email me and let me know! 

What do yo think?

Downward Spiral...But in a Good Way!

There are many items on my store.  It is varied and it has to deal with all the ideas that I have that want to come out. Each trip to the craft store brings an excitement to try new mediums for my creative expression.  I don't know if I should try to stop being a Jack of all trades and just be Master of one...or two!
 It all started with scrapbooking.  Anyone who has ever gotten into that hobby knows how expensive it can be and every new thing is a must buy! Then I began sketching and drawing because of the inks and chalks left over from random scrapbooking projects.  Then I wanted to express my illustrations in a more 3d manner and I purchased polymer clay... That spawned other purchases I won't get into here.  Needless to say, I have enough in my studio/workspace that I was able to design and create my wedding invitations!  That's a lot of material lying around!

Anywhoo, to bring this back to my store, here are some of my creations...

These are all polymer clay creations.  The first one is a lock charm that actually works in 'nondreaded' hair too. (Just make a braid and wrap it in!)  Check out the store for other designs.


I will list promos and creative ideas that I don't want in the store here, so keep an eye out.  My Message in a Bottle invitations were a hit and want to set up a tutorial along with some free templates.  Keep checking back.
