Time goes by too fast

Sometimes I just want time to stand still. It goes by so fast. These past few months have been so busy with kids and school and everything that they both do outside of school. I was hired to do wedding invitations and I was super busy with those. The bride to be needed 100 save the dates, wedding invites with the RSVPs. So that kept me really busy. Along with the 50 Thank You cards she needed also. The best part about it all was that she let me come up with the design. She gave me the colors and an idea on what she wanted and let me do all the designing. I had fun coming up with several designs for her to choose from. When she picked out the one she liked all I had to do was get busy. I had a few months to get it all done as she gave me plenty of time to do it all. It was so excited to see the look on her face when I gave them all to her. She loved them. ( YEAH... ).
What was so cool was that after about a week or so of her receiving her Save the Date cards, I got one in the mail and then received the invitation later. Well her wedding is coming up next week and I can not wait to attend.
Kids have all finished school and have been out for the summer for a few weeks now.  The last day of school was an emotional one for me. Ally is leaving elementary school. She had a hard time the last few days of school. It is really hard to believe that my baby girl is going off to Jr High next year. What is next, High School and then College.. haha. She didn't want to leave her only school that she has been to. She started Kindergarten there and is now leaving. But I did tell her that she will not loose all ties there as we still have her brother there. He is going into 4th grade. Man talk about wanting time to stand still.
We did a big family vacation to the mountains. - First time for us all. We all fell in love with the Smokey Mountains. This was the first vacation that we didn't want to come home. Usually we are all ready by the end of vacation to go home and back to our stuff, but not this one. We had so much fun hiking the mountain trails, climbing to very high peaks. We did some of what I am calling "whitewater" tubing and even did horseback riding along the mountain edges. Now we are home and back to our ordinary life.
Ok so now we are all home and back to work for the hubby and for me trying to entertain the kidos for the rest of the summer break. I have been stamping as much as I can since I finished the wedding package. I will have some pics of the cards that I have done. But for now I will leave you with the wedding invitations.
I am wanting to do some classes this summer and get back into doing classes and clubs. I am also up to doing a stamp party for a girls night out.  If interested just get in touch with me.
Until then,
HAPPY STAMPIN

 I used Stampin Up supplies with the exception of the ribbon and the 5*7 envelopes for the invitation. Whisper White, Basic Black. I did this digitally using Wedding Sweet images. This was my first time using the digital images and I must say that it was a lot of fun. I was able to place the swirls where I wanted them and the size them to the right size for the cardstock sizes. The black background card stock was embossed with the Vintage wallpaper folder. I added the rhinestones to the points of the swirls to give it some bling. 

I am available for all types of invitation needs and party favors as well.
