Wedding Place Cards & Life Update

Hello dear friends! I want to go ahead and appologize for my lack of presence in this lovely blog world. Life has been so busy that my computer time is extremely limited these days. I wish I could visit all of your blogs and email back a little better, but that may just have to wait until things slow down...which may be after the summer is over! Ha!

Anyway, I wanted to share one of my latest projects with you all. My old boss/ friend asked me to make place cards for her bridesmaid's luncheon. I became so excited as soon as the words "shabby chic" left her lips. Shabby chic is most definitely my forte! Here's a few photos of my creations! All of them are different and I love it!



I'm very pleased with how they all turned out! I don't think I can even pick a favorite. So what is yours? It was a fun little project! Although I must say, I am enjoying the preparation for someone else's wedding instead of mine for a change! It felt like I was always doing craft projects for our wedding!

PS: I am trying out an all white look and a new header. What do you guys think, white or color? Also, if you know a way to expand the blog width I'd love to know!


Have a wonderful Friday!

Those turned out great! And I like the white, very clean looking. And thank you for your sweet comments on my blog! :) I LOVED them.

Love them! I think Anna Lauren's is my fave. I faint over lace. Plus burlap and I'm in a coma.

And I love the clean look of the white blog, but I'm always a sucker for little pop of color.

(Did I just say pop of color?! My art professors would kill me if they heard me!)

These are awesome!! You are such a creative gal!
I'm loving the blog look... and I have tried to figure out how to change the blog width FOREVER.
I think you have to like customize/edit your HTML yourself. Sounds complicated to me....

love these place cards! i think place cards were my favorite part of my own wedding crafting! i don't know if i can pick a fave... maybe ruthie's!?

Sonia Ama said...

Love them all! I think my favorite would be between Brenda's and Hope's!

Love these!

Go to "Edit HTML" under the "Design" tab in your Blogger dashboard. In the html, look for this code:

#outer-wrapper {
width: 925px;
margin:0 auto;
padding:10px;
text-align:$startSide;
font: $bodyfont;
}

Yours will have a different number for the width - just make that bigger. You'll also have to play with the pixel width for the main wrapper {that's your blog post space} and your sidebar wrapper {your sidebar}. I hope that helps! If not, let me know and I'll see what else I can tell you :]

Tatiana said...

Yay! I can see your blog now! Finally!
Can I just say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE all of these! I think Sarah and Brenda are my faves. Such amazing creativity! You rock girly!

PS: Will you please follow me? Hahaha. Just kidding

They are all great. I can't choose either. I think I'll be calling you up to do mine. ;)

hhmmm, I like color. White seems so (no offense) blah to me. Too stark. I like warmth, but that is me. It's your bloggity.
