New Blog Design!!! I Heart 3 Cupcakes Blog Design

I'm so excited right now! I couldn't wait to post this!   As many of you know I created my blog myself with the help of online tips and a great brother in law. It has served it purpose - bringing fabulous party inspiration to my readers.  However, for a long time I have felt that it just didn't pop.  I have admired Amy's from 3 Cupcakes Blog Design work for a long time and I was ready to make a change. I knew only she could take my blog to the next level.  I only asked if I could design my new header.  Other than that I gave her free reign to "spruce up" my blog and boy did she ever! I love love love it!  Thanks so much Amy.  If you are in need of blog work, I can't say ENOUGH about how wonderful it was to work with Amy.  She "got" me so well and knew instantly what I liked!  Here is a picture of our humble beginnings and look at us now.  FABULOUS!

Go over to 3 Cupcakes Blog Design to see all of the lovely designs and services available!

{Real Invitations} Orange & Fuchsia Boarding Pass Wedding Invitations

I am totally in love with these boarding pass invitations.  They have become quite popular by many destination brides. They are cute, fun, and such a great way to incorporate the theme of a destination wedding.  These turned out absolutely lovely.

These are 4x9 inches printed on white shimmer cardstock and were mailed in a lovely flaming orange shimmer envelope!
