I'm with you Rustly... I really neeeeeeeed a cuttlebug too....

You could cheat here ... did you remember to put the cuttlebug on your wedding list?
:rotfl:

Well it's on my birthday wishlist which is 2 weekas after the wedding... But pointless putting anything on the wedding list, 2 things have been bought off it!

With any luck we'll get a few gifts of cash rather than 44 silver photo frames and champagne glasses!

But just think ... 43 of the silver photo frames and all bar 2 of the champagne glasses can be presents for the next weddings you go to lol or is that a little too mse!

Bet you are dead excited

Lovely card momoftwo...I cheated last year I had some papers with those sort of trees on so just cut them out but they didnt look anywhere near as nice as those

here is 2nd attemp at the art deco invite
which would you say was the best one to go in my folder?
it only took me 4 hours to make...lol
How many sets would you put in a folder for a shop?
and should I do complete sets of all designs or just wording saying availbale in RSVP's...etc etc.

Absolutely love this invitation saveapenny! It is gorgeous!!! Are you going to let people take samples of the invites for free or charge or contact you for samples? I think when choosing a design I would want to be able to see all available items so I could see what everything looked like together if you see what I mean? If this isnt going to be possible for all designs due to space I would maybe do this for at least one set so customers can see examples of everything available to order and prices of everything. Massive good luck with the venture, sounds so exciting

I am hopefuly going to put as many as I can in 1 folder and do a few complete sets. I cant see away of doing sets of every design without having several folders and loads of work.
I have ordered a card swatch for a company that as been very good and they are sending me that free of charge so 1 will go in the folder with all the sizes they do and I am making all different sized things and will mark each one that will be avalibale in which card and size.
Makng th ecards is the easy bit getting the folder ready is proving a nightmare...lol
Samples I hadnt even thought of that yet :eek: but your right people do need to see ful sets in the design they might want
would it work on a deposit bases do you think?
so I didnt get time wasters
Such as £10 deposit but they got the £10 knocked off the completed order once proofs had been passed, Or do you think that wouldnt work

I thought I would post this it might come in handy for any scrap bookers out there www.renaesroom.com/.../corners/cfbd.html
Its basicaly frames and dividers but as a font
I found it by accident when I was looking for Art Nouveau frames
Also the main pages as loads of interesting stuff on there http://www.renaesroom.com/Fonts/fonts.html
