Dreaming of Cooler Weather

Although we haven't had as many 100+ degree days here in the Lubbock, Texas area, it's still been really hot! I like Summer, but I am looking forward to the slightly cooler days of autumn.

And working on my new Fall wedding invitation designs has really got me dreaming of Autumn and everything that comes with it: cooler weather, back to school, high school football games, and of course, watching the glorious splendor of the leaves changing from their Summer green to warm shades of yellow, orange, red and maroon.

If you are having a Fall Wedding, and want to incorporate the beautiful warm autumn colors in your wedding, but want something different than the traditional fall designs of leaves, pumpkins, corn, etc., then you are the exact personhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif I had in mind when I created the following wedding invitations:

Warm rays of "sunshine" burst forth from the corners of the "Sassy Sunbursts" Pocket Fold Wedding Invitation to give a warm welcome to your family and friends.



The "French Fleurs" Pocket Wedding Invitation features one of the hottest wedding color schemes of the season: Green, Orange and Brown.



Butterflies are normally thought of as a Spring or Summer theme, but soft cream and light peach color scheme of this "Lacy Butterflies" Wedding Invitation makes it suitable for a fall wedding as well.

Colors of the Wind

I live in West Texas and anyone who lives in this area or who has ever visited here knows that the wind blows A LOT! It can get really annoying. But through an assigned art project in my 3-D design class and through conversations with God, I learned to appreciate the wind.

You can view my video about it below.

Also, I made some cards from the project. You can purchase them by visiting my Etsy shop at www.JoyfulHeartDesign.etsy.com

Necessity is the Mother of Invention

I tend to do my best work when I'm faced with a deadline and a clear purpose. Such was the case recently. I signed up to have a booth at a Baby and children's event. I realized that I needed more birth announcements to show examples of my work, so here's what I came up with on the night before the event. (Yes, I'm a night-owl. I had rather stay up late than get up early, much to the dismay of my husband.) I'm also a bit of a last-minute person. :)

I have not listed all of these on my Etsy site yet. So, email me if you are interested in getting prices or more info on any of these designs.
