cards, invites, and parties, OH MY!

the above are the invitations for the staff Christmas party that i'm coordinating at school. simple, clean, but kinda elegant. no fancy paper--just printer paper, red construction paper, some skinny gold ribbon and staples.

the above card was made for a co-worker, Helene... she team teaches with me and i left her all alone on friday because i took the day off.

love the button on this card... the pearl is a real find (i think it was from a wal-mart assorted collection of buttons--not bad, eh?) just a mini card for any occasion.

this card is very similar to the previous one (actually the first out of the two that i made). i was experimenting with what looked good, and i think this turned out okay... what do you think?

anyway, i've been busy. hope you enjoy!

oh, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!

party hearty!

so Joey and i just finished making our party invitations for the Christmas party we're having. it was a design that took several sessions to perfect, but we think the end result is pretty amazing. i cut all the unique and beautiful snowflakes on the front, made all the chickies, and typed the information portion. Joey did a lot of glueing.

i've been shopping for the past couple of days and have gotten some REALLY good deals, and i'm really excited about Christmas this year... i think i've gotten some good gifts.

speaking of gifts, i'm going to a party tonight where the birthday girl did NOT want any gifts. so i sat down last night after the invitation frenzy and made a card.

anyway, i took pictures of some of my scrapbook layouts, so i'll post those soon. otherwise, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas!
