Transformation Tuesday: Custom Wedding Invitations

One of the biggest joys I get from being the Papercrafting Passionista is the custom orders that friends and family have requested. I'm sure you've noticed I've been a little on hiatus lately, and that's because I had an order for some wedding invitations that took up majority of my free time this month. I am excited to share my creations with you here, exclusively for my Blog Readers!

Here they are:

I used a retired Thinlit Die from the So Detailed Thinlits from last year's Occasions Catalog. I just knew I would have a use for that die someday! Ha! It was definitely a labor of love, hand-cutting 250 of those gates! And it also wore on my Big Shot Plates to the point where they snapped in half! BUT, OMG, so worth it! And I would do it all over again!

Here's what the invitation looks like disassembled:

I did all of the graphic design work, too. So that RSVP Card and the Information Card was all created by me. I even hand-stamped the hearts on the Information Card and the Medallions. Those were from the Sealed With Love Stamp Set that was already retired from last year's Occasions Catalog. I will truly never get rid of that stamp set! I have used it so much!

Here's just the invitation:

And then a close up of the RSVP Card and the Information Card:

I am so pleased with how these turned out and the Bride was just "obsessed" and she couldn't "stop staring at them!" (her words!)

So if you feel like you need a little Papercrafting Passionista for your Special Occasion, please Contact Me and let's chat about how I can make something special just for you!

Top 10 Tuesday: 12 Days of Christmas Movies

Well, so instead of a Top 10, I'm changing it to a Top 12! Because I love The Twelve Days of Christmas and I love Christmas movies and why not combine both together to make it 12 Days of Christmas Movies!? I suppose we each all have our own opinions as to what Christmas Movies are *must-haves* on our Watch List, but I would like to think there are some that just generally required, by public agreement. So, here's my Top 12 Days of Christmas Movies List, complete with a FREE Printable so you can make this a Holiday Bucket List Item, if you'd like! I'd love to hear if your favorite movie made the cut or not! OH---and one more thing---these movies are certainly not listed in an specific order, they are more in the order in which I may or may not have already watched them... (#SorryNotSorry!) 12. The Santa Clause (1994) When this movie first came out, I was totally entranced by the interpretation of the North Pole, courtesy of Disney Magic, that I almost bel

Podcast Episode 4: Accountability

How many of you feel like you're on a never-ending hamster wheel, just running and running and running? Do you blame the wheel for moving too fast or too slow? Do you blame the cage for not having any space? Or do you figure out that you need to stop, get off the wheel and get out of the cage to endless space? I think we all have those seasons in our lives where we easily blame the wheel or the cage. And the difference between staying on the wheel and blaming it for staying on it and stopping, getting off and getting OUT is our ability to take accountability. Take a listen to this week's podcast and let me know if it inspires you to stop running on the wheel and instead, figure out how to stop, get off the wheel, and get out of the cage.

Lent 2020: Day Two

Today's post is brought to you by...COFFEE. I'm not going to lie, I really did consider giving up coffee for Lent, but when I mentioned it to one of my best friends, his response was "well, I'll see you in 40 days!" I was kind of shocked at his lack of support, but then I read a post that was shared with me regarding Lent and some "food for thought" and one of the bullet points read "Don't give up coffee. Jesus will forgive you, but your family might not." Well---I heard God loud and clear on that one. Don't give up coffee. And I'm so very glad I did not. See today, I had a TON of things to accomplish. We're gearing up for a big weekend and I had quite the laundry list to do. Not only was my laundry list (and my laundry basket) huge, but I didn't sleep well last night. I had a very restless husband, so I put myself out on the couch. Which wasn't terrible, but it wasn't exactly great, either. So I already
