Christmas gifts

I know its been a long while since I've posted anything here on this blog, my photography blog has keept me pretty busy these last several months. http://www.heatherhillmanphotography.blogspot.com/

I wasn't sure if I should post this here or there, since it is photography, but decided I'll keep the other blog for mostly client images and everything else will go here.

Anyhow this is what I made for Teacher gifts this year. I loved how they turned out, as this was my first attempt at doing a name sign like this (even though Ive spent months taking and gathering up the letter images). They are 8x20 framed.

I have gatherd and accumilated the whole alphabet (most letters have several images) if you'd like me to make YOU a name sign I'm only charging $30.00, that includes the frame. Just send me an email!

EnJoY!

Another wedding, Another wedding gift

We just attended the beautiful wedding of my Husbands cousin Mandi, this weekend. Mandi & her new husband, Ted, were a stunning couple & we felt blessed to be able to be in attendance.

So... that meant another wedding gift. Its basicly the same idea as the previous gift I made a couple weeks ago. Since I use old yard-sale find frames this one is slightly different along with the paper line. I love how the easel sets it off so perfectly.

{paper}: Bella Blu by SU!

{ribbon}: Offray

{monogram charm}: making memories

{stamp}: Floral/Dings by making memories

Also a big THANKS to bbcrazy who's card on splitcoast stampers {inspired} this frame. You can see the origianl card HERE.

It was wonderful to be a guest and spectator at the wedding rather than the crazy running around photographer, but that didn't stop me from bringing my camera! Here are a few shots of the evening.

Congratulations Ted & Mandi!

EnJoy!

Wedding Gift

Here is a quick gift I made for a recent Bridal Shower, I always keep some frames on hand (yard sales are awsome to build your frame stash! the cheaper the better, who cares if they are dated or ugly- its amazing what a coat of paint can do!) The couples names and wedding date were made in photoshop and printed out on cardstock. having a handmade gift that is personalized is always a big hit (and easy on the pocketbook!)

{paper}: Parisian Breeze & Bella Bleu by Stampin' Up!

{pearls} Michales
