Creative Ideas - Photos

Here is a site I found that I must share with all of you! It is called Big Huge Labs. There are so many creative ways to work with your photos on this site. If you're a sports fan and want to announce your engagement, how about the Trading Card Maker? Or make a magazine cover? Or a movie poster for all your guests to sign? Okay, okay, getting carried away. So, many twinspiring ideas! You just have to see for yourself, Big Huge Labs. Enjoy!

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.

Change

Change is the only constant.

Since opening my Etsy store, in early 2008, I've hand addressed thousands of wedding invitations. Many brides-to-be have returned for additional services such as escort cards and favor tags. My business has also grown through referrals and for this, I am eternally grateful! It is sheer pleasure working with brides-to-be (grooms, too!) and many others involved in the wedding planning. After much thought, I've decided to veer my blog into a new direction. From this day forward, Twinspire will focus on twinspiring ideas for your wedding day and all the events that lead up to your BIG day. You'll find DIY projects for your wedding, handcrafted wedding items I find on Etsy and all things wedding related to twinspire you!

Escort Cards

It's been a while since my last post. I've been busy addressing save-the-date cards and wedding invitations. White ink, and classic black ink, have been the popular choice of color.

In between projects, I made a few escort cards using ribbons, stamps and rhinestones.

Even though I've been married for over 16 years, I dream about celebrating my 20th or 25th wedding anniversary. This time, I'd love to celebrate outdoors, at one of the local wineries in the SF Bay Area. A live band, my original bridesmaids and groomsmen, etc. Hmmmm, I sure can dream!

Thanks so much for visiting. I'll post again soon. In the meantime, check out this video I found on YouTube. It's of Lea Salonga's wedding a few years ago. She's sang her "I Do's". Be twinspired!

Before & After

I love these ready to embellish cards from JoAnne's.

These are dual colored - Tiffany blue on the inside and white on the outside.

Makes card making quick and easy!

Do you save your scrap papers? I do. If there's room to stamp on it, I save it!

Here's a card I made using scrap papers from my scrappy stash.

Thanks for stopping by!

My mind is a garden. My thoughts are the seeds. My harvest will be either flower or weeds.

I used faux pearl strands from Michael's and Tiffany blue cardstock for the card. Tiffany blue and red seems to be a popular wedding color combo this season.
