The day was a huge success... congratulations to the Paper Angels Group yet again for putting together another super dooper fabulous event. Special congratulations to Ursula who co-ordinated the day, this was her 1st big event, and the 1st of the CCW's this year. Well done Ursula on a fantastic job.
I would also like to personally thank fellow Paper Angel Marjorie for coming along on the day and helping out with registrations, raffles, card comp entries etc. (Oh and me needing bits here and there). THANK YOU Marjorie for being such an angel.
Congratulations to Kerrie winning 1st prize...
Stampin' Up! generously donates to each of our charity events a HUGE box of products in which we hold our now quite famous raffles, full proceeds going to our charity. Here are the lucky winners on the day...
Smiles all round for my guests Yvonne, Shelley, Carla, and Sandy who were amongst those taking home a huge box of Stampin' Up! goodies.
What a day!
Thanks again to those who came along. Looking forward to our CCW's again next year!
The ribbon is held on with slot punches either side of the opening and the ribbon looped through them, so when you open it the ribbon hangs there in place, keeping it looking very classy!(Believe me, a lot of thought went into this invite *giggle*) The Baroque Motifs image has been stamped 3 times on each invite front with VersaMark then clear embossed, it looks WAY better in the flesh than in this photo.
My brother in-law to be, Jason, works for the Australian Defence Force. The wedding will be a 'Military Wedding' with the groom and groomsmen in Service Uniform. That is where I came up with my most brilliant idea yet.... the cute crown buttons on the invitations...
Well I thought it was a brilliant idea until 60 build-a-brads later! lol
For those who are wondering just how did I get the crown in there... the magical world of scanning allowed me to do that. Using a badge from Jason's uniform I scanned the crown, shrunk it down to a tiny little version and printed many little mini crowns in which I punched out and placed into my build-a-brads! Wha-lah!!!!
