10:30am, Saturday morning and I was down in the Chalk Farm craft shop looking at hearts made of bark, twine, paper, favour boxes (as if) and all sorts of invitation paraphernalia.
While I think I’m fairly creative, I’m not very crafty. I have a healthy fear of scrapbookers (a massive hobby in the States) and to be honest, Letad wins hands down when it comes to hand made cards, I just can’t compete.
It’s quite odd really, considering I’m a designer!
So I perused the shop for a while, chose some ribbon I liked, a couple of hearts, a variety of paper and some cardboard tags and off I went.

After a bit of experimenting I had a bark heart threaded on to a dusty pink organza ribbon, tied around a piece of watercolor paper. The envelope is a different colour but I like the combination.
The tags will be for place cards tied around lavender bags and perhaps I’ll add a sprig of lavender? Now who’s getting crafty?
And after a bit of time spent in Illustrator (now I’m feeling more comfortable) I’ve designed a few options for the card to discuss with Letad, the card maker.

What’s next, scrapbooking?
