Hello! I'm trying very hard to actually add posts to my blog on a regular basis...I'M SO PROUD of myself! LOL! because...here's another one! WHOO HOO!
Ok, so, I struggle making single greeting cards but thrive on big projects like weddings and parties. This is a project I LOVE to do; I call it a bookcard. I made a little slide show of the bookcard I made for a friend last year to celebrate her 40th birthday. There was a huge group of beautiful women that gathered for dinner and drinks and we had a blast. As a group we pitched in and bought her a sweet Louie Vuitton purse and I thought it would be incredible to try to contact everyone on the guest list and have them participate in a group "bookcard".
This means I have to contact many people and request a birthday message and a picture. It sounds kind of easy, but on average I end up having to contact more than half the people on the list at least three times to finally get the info and sometimes I have to go on FB and just steal that dang pictures!! Then I have to type up all the messages, choose the appropriate fonts for each individual's page, print the messages and pictures, and then cut them all out. Let me tell you...this is a HECK of a lot of work and every time I decide to make one...the sleepless nights make me doubt my judgement. But then I get to witness how the end result brings such a smile to the recipient that makes it all worth while.
The color theme of the bookcard would be purple, as it's Dollie's favorite color, and the shape of the card would be a purse to fit in with our group gift. I hope the slide show is tolerable. I never know how large or fast I should make it go :)
Aloha!
