Spread some holiday... sneer?

Who says you have to be sweet and mushy this holiday season? Especially when you have a chance to snag these awesome, snarky Christmas cards.

I find the touch of sarcasm refreshing this time of year! Enjoy:

A wedding keepsake that rocks...

I was flipping through some amazing detail shots on Laura Kay's Wedding Photography site, and saw an awesome idea for a Wedding Day keepsake.

The Bride and Groom requested of their guests to sign a message on these flat rocks, that would later be displayed in their home.

Laura Kay recently shot my friend's wedding that I was a bridesmaid in, and I highly reccommend her if you are looking for a wedding photographer in the DC/Virginia area. She was really sweet, laid back and we all really enjoyed having her along with us for the day. Check out her website at LauraKayPhoto.com!

Statement jewelry

For Christmas this year I am going to attempt to make a few statement necklaces as gifts for friends/family. I decided to search around for some inspirtation, and found several pieces that I love. I suppose it's good to have fall back options incase my craft projects go awry.

The first two are necklaces are from Bejewelled Bespoke, ($65 and $89) and the last one is from amy987, ($68) both on Etsy.com.

       

Less is more.

Working as a news designer, I've come to appreciate nice, clean and simplistic advertisements. I rarely see such ads in my line of work - so here are a few that I found elsewhere. They prove that less is more, and I wish I'd see more of them.

Tie the knot...

...with a wall full of ribbons! Onewed recently posted this cute idea for bridal shower or wedding decor.

Here's what they suggest: This could easily be turned into an exciting DIY project - just get a bunch of friends or family together to help tie the knots into the ribbon and then tie the ribbons to a shower curtain rod (or something similar). Hang your art behind the head table or guest table as a fun focal point! Or, use it as a backdrop for your guests to take some fabulous photos against. Lovely!

All you need is love.

One of my best friends got married this weekend, and I'm still feeling the love from that wedding.

I love a few of these love-inspired note cards from Modern Emotive Stationery & Paper Goods.

 ....Congratulations to Erin and Nate!
