Lexxa's Spring Break Project

Around Spring Break I mentioned that Lexx

and I were busy working on a project for her,

but I couldn't let you know what it was

until it was actually done.

It's done, and I can now reveal what

it was that we were doing.

My beautiful and smart daughter is graduating

from college, so we were taking some

photographs near the river so that we

could use them on her invitations.

It was probably one of the warmest days

in the month when we actually took the

photos, and Lexx and I were dying hiking

up and down hills and walking all over the place.

She was a trooper, and the pictures turned

out well, especially considering I took them

and didn't have any professional equipment

and I didn't use any software to touch up

the pictures.  What you see is 100% Lexx.

We probably took over 100 pictures,

but here are just a few of our favorites.

 

The hard part was narrowing down the

exact pictures we wanted to use.

In the end, the style of invitation we used helped us decide.

I ended up using the pictures that

fit best with the card format.

Tinyprints is my go to site that I use for most of

my card/invitation needs,

and true to form they did not disappoint. 

Front of invitation

I chose a trifold style so that

I could use four of the pictures. 
The invitations had a gold color decoration

and I had the pearlescent finish added.

If you are wondering what the big white

blob on the invites are, I smudged out personal

information, you know.....

for privacy reasons.

Close up

I chose a gold envelope to go with the

cards, with a wrap around address label

that matched the invitations.

I didn't show you a picture of the labels

because again, privacy.

In this picture the envelopes photograph

a brown color, but in person they are gold.

I was very pleased with the way the

invitations turned out, but more importantly

I'm very happy and proud of my

wonderful daughter!
