I really like the book card but dnt think I am brave enough to attempt it. I did make an exploding box but it looks like my daughter made it :-(

Polly Can I join in the card making challenge at some point, prob not this week though ?
After getting the advice from here I've finally bought some supplies, all I have to do now is decide what to do with them:rotfl:
Minimacka Your book is fantastic:T , maybe I'll have a go in a few years !
saveapenny Your invites are lovely:T . Are you planning to sell them in person or via the web ? Will you be offering different colour options eg for the one with the single and three roses, different colour flowers to tie in with their colour 'theme' ? I agree with Mimimacka, have a look whats around this year colour wise. Its a few years since I got married so I don't know whats 'in' at the moment.

Skiergirl...Yes Im intending to sell them via a friends shop
I am in the process of constructing the album and on each page I will put what type of card and colours each design comes in. I have also done various insert layouts for different types of hosting ie parent or bride and groom ...A font sheet and several contact sheets of swatches of papers I know I can get regular supply of
I have took Minimackas advice and now done some wallet ones

Like the photo ~ I've travelled on Malta buses & know why the message is there ~ also think I should have it on the front of my car!!

I think your wedding stationery is fantastic ~ my sort of style ~ hope it's a great success. Can you tell me how you do the lettering ~ it all appears to be silvery & 3D(ish) in the photos?

I'm having second thoughts now about the Challenge after seeing your invites & Minimacka's book card.

Rainmac - Thank you for info re photbucket ~ 1st job tomorrow well........ later today

If you have enough card to make one I wouldnt mind sending you a template of how to fold the card, then its just a case of decorating it and sticking it all together, its really easy honest :A . It looks soo much harder than it really is to do.
