Aww... Nampak suci jer. Sejjuuuukk hati si penerima kad. :D

(Of course if I want to hand them out via postage, I'd place them nicely in another standard square envelope)

Razi and I are thinking about making our own invitation cards. Is there time to cut (at least) 1000 four petal envelope, sampai kedua bakal pengantin punya tangan bengkak-bengkak? (FYI, 500 for bersanding and 500 for bertandang, Mak said 1 invitation card represents 2 prospective invitees)

I haven't tried cutting them petal envelopes but in case if its troublesome, maybe we have to give Scrap 'N Crop another visit and get our hands on a circle cutter! Or we'll retreat to a simpler design like this:

'Till then.

Bye bye for now. :)

Inspiration: Gubahan Hantaran

I have just more than 1 month left to go before my 2nd-big day -- aha, mestilah majlis pertunanganku. ;p

My Mak, eldest sister and I myself are in charge of decorating gifts that I'm going to give to Razi (Hello, Razi? Senyap je.. Ehe, mesti busy cari future-duit-nafkahku.. Haha)

(Eherm, well.. To the point please, Sue...)

I wanted something different with a personal touch. So there I was browsing through the Web like it's no one's business. And BAM! I found a perfect english cottage theme! It's a combination of my all-time favourite things (background music = "My Favourite Things" by Julie Andrews), and I bet Mak will love it too.

Can you imagine the sweet and soft pastel colours combined with roses, hydrangeas, ribbons and wooden trays/boxes decorated with decoupage roses. Kalau takleh imagine, sila tengok gambar dibawah ya:

Okay, I got to go. Mak dah panggil. We're going to Batang Kali for a family retreat for the weekend (well, half of the family, actually)... Bye bye pollution and stress, hello fresh air and tranquility. =)
