Photobooks

This Christmas I decided to make gifts for my best buds. I wanted to do something special for them that they could keep.

For a few friends, I made a photobook that included pictures of them and their loved ones. I bound and made/covered the covers myself.

Side view:


Little mini albums were also made. I made a little square cut out so that the first picture in the booklet would show through.

Wedding favours for our wedding. I made the tags and secured them onto the favours with ribbon.

Wedding Invitations

One of my biggest accomplishments was making our wedding invitations for our wedding last year. It was a pain in the A#* to make and VERY time consuming but in the end, I think they turned out fantastic! And I'm pretty proud of them. Another tid bit of information that many may or may not know. We sent out 2 different kinds of invitations. The original invite design was not "Chinese" enough. There was black on the original design and black represented death for the Chinese therefore, I had to replace the black with gold.

Original wedding invitation design.


The inviation with the red strip removed. It can be removed and put back on the invite. It secures the whole package together.


The inside of the pocketfold invite with all the wedding information inserts


The modified Chinese version. This Chinese version was mailed out to all our Chinese relatives and the other one was sent to all our non-Chinese guests. The inside of invites look exactly the same for both.

Craftiness is ME

I think of myself as a pretty crafty human being. And 'crafty', I mean the Martha Stewart type :o) With that being said, I thought I would start up a blog showing some of my creations. This is more for the benifit of myself. A way of documenting what I have made and perhaps one day I can start a business :o)

Stay tuned for a few of my crafty creations :o)
