I am so missing making my daily posts and sharing wonderful cards that I just had to make. :O) Not complaining, just missing everyone and so can not wait to get life lined back up for us all here at Casa Gobea. lol
I got up this morning and thought it was finally time to share what I have been up to off and on now for a couple of months.
My cousin's daughter ( I think that makes her my 2nd cousin, but she calls me Aunt and I call her my niece) is getting marries in August and she asked if I would make her Wedding Invitations for her. I of course agreed and then I found out that she really had no idea what she wanted, she just knew that everything she had seen so far in magazines and all, she did not like. ***!!!!**????!!! Talk about pressure. lol... I think I worried about that for at least three weeks.
So after worrying I finally decided just to make a card that I thought looked good and see what she thought. I am very happy and thankful that she loved it and so for the last month off and on I have been making her invitations, RSVP cards and envelopes. They are coming along, but every time I put one together I worry that I am going to mess it up. :O{
Anyway just wanted to share and see what you all think. Over the last two days I have cut and glued 100 envelopes for the RSVP cards and now I am starting to put together the invitations. I decided the easiest way to make them all was in steps. I cut out all the fancy dies then I cut out the Spellbinders label and used my glossy pens for the edging and now I have started to assemble them all. This is truly a labor of love. I just want it all perfect as this is her Wedding and I would be so so sad to think that these were anything but perfect for them.
Ok, so that is enough about me. I hope that you are all doing wonderfully. I miss you all and I hope to get some time to come and say "Hi" in person soon. Take care and have a wonderful weekend. Talk at you later.
Hugs, Lisa G

| I don't know why this card looks dirty, but it truly isn't. I have since decided to use foam mounts on the first panel to give it a little more depth. |

| Also, the colors look weird, but I am using the Natural White by Neenah for all of these, so they have a creamy tint to them. Not white and not deep cream. Just classic light cream. lol Sorry just want you to get the idea of what they truly look like. |
