This post is for Harry's Christening invitation's.I thought i would show how they have turned out
being they have been changed quite a few times.Firstly Sam sent me a picture of the sort of card she liked so off i go & did a near copy of it & her saying yes she liked it, think i made about 10,then got text asking if i could incorporate 1st birthday & Christening with HARRY JAMES as well.
So tried sent picture again, but could she make sure it was what they wanted as i would have to start again So she text came back, & said as i have to start from scratch again, could she change it to just a non card just a 6 x 4 with Harry's picture on the front & the wording on the back.
So this is the end result Sam said she loved it & i said Thank God for that.
She wanted 30 so i needed 60 frame's. still got 20 to do.
Thank you all for taking the time & looking at my blog.

Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteYour Invitations are really lovey. Simple and elegant but a lot of work has gone into them! No wonder your back hurts. They look so professional , Lynda, you should be very proud of them. I would! What a gorgeous photo as well.
Hope you feel a lot better very soon.
Lots of love, Myra xxx
Hi Myra
ReplyDeletethank you so much for your kind words,yes i was quit pleased in the end as you say simple but lot's of cutting out,& i had to write every line separate as my card program would't let me line them all how mum wanted it,but once it was done i could save it.
The cards i did first were more elaborate but hay ho this is what mum wanted.
Hope your migraine has gone now.

Lynda. I can see why your back is so sore, just standing cutting all the frames? If you are like me it's that tension of getting everything just so. Alice was a bit like Sam. She liked what I had thought what she wanted, said yes then it was " oh I don't want flowers or filly bits, changed it no that wasn't right, could I do something horsey?? So in the end I cut out loads of different bits, including the horse head and shoe, told her to come and play and design her invites, thankfully what she decided seems to have worked. Now she has given me the insert to say what time etc, but not the menu that she wants on one side. I think she doesn't know how much work it all takes. Harry's invites are gorgeous, he is a cute little guy. Take it easy, your back won't get better if you keep standing cutting and putting everything together. Hazel x
ReplyDeleteThank you Hazel your very kind. The trouble Is i don't think Sam know's how much work & time it takes when making a card but I did get a little cross with her in the end as you say,I was using all my posh card it's not easy changing things & adding things as well when it was only a small card it started looking too crowded I didn't like it.Never mind we got it right in the end.
DeleteHug's Lynda xx
Wow Lynda, I love what you have created there, so personal too, hopefully Sam was pleased with this one! You must have got quite frustrated,
ReplyDeleteI would have done at the wasted time and card !
I am so sorry to hear you are struggling with your back, try to take it easy for a few days, maybe it's leaning forward doing your cards, I know that kills my back!
Take care my friend,
Love and hugs

Hello my lovely friend,
DeleteThank you Sandra we did get there in the end but I did get a bit cross with Sam after she kept changing her mind after she was telling me what she wanted but it was getting a bit silly she kept adding thing but when it's just a small card it looked messy. So I think this one is better.
Sandra where did you get your tamping up two step stamp set from I like the bigger flower like Patricia's I have looked on a few sites but no luck I'm still waiting for mine from Sunrise craft it was on a7- 14 day order but seems ages.they only had the one set no choice.yet you tube has lots of tutorials on them.
Love & Hug's Lynda xx
Your invites are lovely Lynda. I am not surprised your back is aching. Doing all that cutting etc., I think it plays havoc with your back. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Brenda for your kind comments. Not Sure what caused my back pain,I do have a weak lower back had it for years & the slightest thing starts it off so could be i twisted awkwardly doing the invitations.
DeleteShould hopefully finish them tomorrow.
Hug's Lynda xx
Hi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing us your wonderful work, the card is lovely and the photo of Harry oh you could eat him up hihi not literally of course.Really hope that Sam love what you have created as it must have taken you a long time and you now have a bad back, bless you I hope the heat pack and gel will give you some relief. It sound like we have very similar problems with our neck,shoulders and back so I really feel for you. Many gently hugs,
Maria xxx
ps Hi to Terry, hope he is good.
Hello Maria,
DeleteThank you for your lovely comments. Yes I love that photo of Harry & I could also eat his chubby legs no I didn't bite him,if he could talk he would have phoned child line Ha Ha.

Hi Lynda,

ReplyDeleteLove Lynda xx
Stunning Lynda Like you said you got there in the end But oh the frustration! Harry is a real cutie too
ReplyDeleteLook after yourself Bending over our stash etc really doesn't do us any good I'm seriously thinking of having a high-ish work top made so that I can stand and craft
Hello Lynda,
ReplyDeleteWhere have I been, I knew I should have been looking at someone else's blog, but couldn't remember who. Now I know -sorry.
This is beautiful, you must be so pleased with yourself. Pleased that the design was finally decided as well!
My niece kept changing her mind, so I started using my old card and when she finally decided on the one she wanted, I did one in the nice stuff before I got the go-ahead.
Hope your back improves, it's a long, slow job.
Maureen xxx
P.S. Harry has those gorgeous arms and legs that look like they've got a rubber band on them. Eleanor was the same, there's not a picking on her now! x

Hello Lynda, these invitations are really gorgeous. I hope the family give you credit (I mean tell everyone) that you made them, I don't think people realise how much thought and effort goes into producing such a beautiful result.
ReplyDeletePLEASE can I pick Harry up and give him a big cuddle? He is gorgeous. LOL Brenda xxx
Blow Brenda thank you so much for your lovely comments & for popping in I really appreciate it.I have just posted them off to my son so hope they get there ok.
DeleteHarry is so lovely I could eat him haha .
LoveLynda xx
Oh Lynda these invites are absolutely divine for such a darling little boy too. Well done for getting them made and on keeping your patience too! I don't think people realise just how much work and effort goes into making these type of cards, I do hope you are given full credit for all your hard work.
ReplyDeleteHope your aches lessen soon
With love
Margaret xx
Hello Margaret thank you for popping in so lovely too see you & thank you for your lovely comments. I must say I was pleased when I had finished them. posted them all too Sam this morning. Darren phoned me tonight & thanked me & said they were amazing so hope he still thinks so when they arrive tomorrow. Lol The trouble is i don't think Sam or anyone realise how long they take to make & with all the ones I did that were wasted & my posh card as well .Darren did say he would pay me for making them,but I wouldn't dream of charging them.
DeleteSorry to read you have to see a consultant & Derek has got too have surgery sorry to hear that Margaret are you going to be ok waiting.
So pleased Ben had the best time ever at the school residential,what a lot of baking you had to do for it as well. I'm so thankful too you Margaret for my rice bags they have helped so much,with my back I have one on now.
Please take care both you & Derek love & Hug's Lynda xxx
Oh my word Lynda I just love how you have done the invitations and that picture of Harry is absolutely gorgeous....it just puts a smile on my face. Well done Lynda.
ReplyDeleteHope your back is a lot better now...will pop in again soon, take care lovely lady.
Love and hugs Sheila xxx
Oh thank you Sheila for your lovely comments,I got there in the end after Harry's mum kept changing her mind & I was pleased with the end result.Yesterday though Darren phoned me & said muum can you make us another 20 please
ReplyDeleteSo I cut another 40 frames & 20 each of pictures & words now I just have to stick them all together. Good old Mum.
Sheila I hope you are feeling a bit more positive & able too tell the so called friends where to go,I hate people like them they don't deserve to be called friend they are just greedy & too see what they can take for themselves.They haven't given a thought for you & how you feel.
I wish we were nearer as Terry would have gladly helped you sort the garage things out without payment even fixed your fence & could have had a garage sale & sold things at reasonable prices. I just feel so helpless so far away from you it must be so hard for you.your always in my thoughts. Sending loving ((((Hug's))) my dear friend please take care Hug's for Nikki as well.
Lots of love Lynda xxxxx
Oh bless you Lynda and Terry too. Thankfully they finished the fence so I've paid them off. The garden needs some work done to it not sure what as it is so large and is at the side and front of the bungalow but have decided not to worry about it for a while. The so-called friend of Clive's mentioned the garage again befor he left but I told him that I'm leaving it for a while as every thing is happening so quick that I don't feel I have had time to grieve properly. Nikki is fine thank you so much for keeping her in your thoughts too Lynda.....I forgot to ring her on Wednesday and it was 9pm before I realised and too late to call the house then. It's the first time I or we had ever forgotten. They rung on Thursday and I asked why they didn't ring me the night before as Nikki was upset....after all she does pay her share of the phone bill. Don't get me wrong they look after her so well and she is happy but honestly it was just a simple thing to do. Sorry for waffling.
DeleteLove and hugs my dear friend
Sheila xxx
Hello Sheila I'm pleased you have said your leaving things at the moment just you sort it in your own time. Sorry you missed ring Nikki the home could have easily rang you Wednesday if you ring Nikki at a set time they could phoned you then,it's easy to forget things normally but they know your all over the place at the moment.Hope she is ok. Do you have to pay for Nikki too be in the home Sheila,as you said she has to pay a share of the phone. Sorry if I'm being nosey Sheila.
ReplyDeletePlease take care my friend do some moe cutting out. Have you been making the new Sue flowers you did with paper instead of felt they were gorgeous I'm saving up for that die,have you made both sizes of them.
Lots of love & Hug's Lynda xx
