A Wedding Message Book – Part 2

About a week ago, I published a blog about a Wedding Message book I was doing for a couple that are soon to be married. The objective of the book is to provide a space for relatives, friends and loved ones of the betrothed to leave their best wishes on their married life. It will be kept on a convenient table during the reception providing an opportunity for any guest to drop a line, so it had to match the colour scheme of the event.

Celebrating 60 Glorious Years!

My grandparents recently celebrated 60 years of marriage. Isn’t that an incredible achievement? My mother wanted very much to give them a keepsake to remember this occasion so she asked me to make a photo desk calendar. I was happy to oblige and got to work on the project. It’s hard crafting to someone else’s taste aesthetic. My mother doesn’t like too much of embellishments. She’s always prefers ‘Clean and Simple’ projects so as I was putting this whole calendar together I had to ensure that it Read more…
