May 3, 2009...Our Wedding




















Our invitations were lilacs printed on rice paper and backed with "Spice" textured paper...with just a thin pop of color around the outside edge of the invitation and reception card. The reply card also had a lilac on the corner, and the reception card had a picture of our cake with gerbera daisies. Can you tell I don't like things all matchy matchy?!! We left the reply card with space for guests to write a note and we got some great ones for the scrapbook/guest book that I am making (when things quiet down!) Of course all the calligraphy on envelopes was done by hand. And we had a watercolor map too with directions to all the festivities.

Birds are back!


Birds are back! How about these cute owl earrings??!! I was up in Freeport, Maine with my mom a few weeks ago and we got these fun owl beads to make earrings for Visibility in Portland, Maine, (and for me)! I love them and birds are the trend this season...they come in a variety of colors and are accented with Sworvski crystal beads. Colors available are green, royal blue, tan and red! These purple ones are sold out! So, for those of you who have been inquiring what "birds are back" means on the home page of El's Cards...now you know! Birds are back!! Happy (almost) spring!
