Yahoo!  I have a follower!  My first one, and I want to let her know that I am thrilled.  So I figure I need to post more often, just for her.

 Wedding Gift Box in Damask

A friend had a black and white, damask themed, wedding.  I created a Gift Card Box and Pew decorations with the damask theme.  For the box, I picked up three decorated, cardboard luggage pieces, at Tuesday Morning.  (Lots of  stores have these)  The hardware was different on each, so I painted them all black.  I made the paper patterns, and printed them on 13 x 19 coated paper from Red River Paper.  I use Corel Draw software for design.  Since this is pretty specialized, I think it can be done with wrapping paper or with wall paper.  The bridal shoe is a pattern I made for a previous event.  I also made a black groom's shoe, but I did not get a picture of that. 

Church Pew Decoration

For this, I used a rose pattern from ellinee.com/.   I just used white copy paper.  Since I had to make so many roses, I created a file for my Pazzle paper cutting machine.  I hot glued them, about 8 each, to a styrofoam ball. Then I used a circle printed in damask, and a paper doily to wrap a cardboard cone. Not hard, just time consuming when you make 80 roses.
