Paper Culture is more than just baby announcements. {Review}

December 8, 2012 by Leave a Comment

Remember those super cute baby announcements I shared with you clear back when Ruby was just a wee one?  We selected to have her birth announced on this card design:

We opted to use  this image of our darling on it:

By far they are the bestest baby announcements I have ever sent out!  (Thanks again Paper Culture, by the way.)  But…  Did you know that Paper Culture doesn’t just do announcements for baby?  It’s true.  Oh so very true.  Think holiday cards.  Gorgeous holiday cards.

Holiday cards like these:

 

This year Paper Culture gave us these holiday cards to send out to our friends and family:

The colors of the photo come out amazing.  The quality of the paper is amazing.  The back of the card is even amazing looking!  Paper Culture thinks of everything.  Thanks again Paper Culture for adding the special touches that make our cards wonderful!

Storkie Express {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

March 5, 2012 by 2 Comments

Having a new addition to the family is a very special blessing.  It’s something that we wanted to shout from the rooftops!  Even “Banjo” was too excited to have his little “Ruby” come home from the hospital.  To this day he refers to her as his baby.  Not his baby sister, but simply his baby.  It’s really cute to here him say, “Where’s my baby?”  When we were sent birth announcements compliments of Storkie our “Banjo” was thrilled to see the finished product.  He said, “Awww.  That’s my baby!”

We chose this announcement:

And it was quite the hit with the people in our lives who received it!

Storkie has sooooo many cute baby announcements to choose from, so it wasn’t difficult to find something that worked with our style.  There’s even announcements that are perfect for either gender:

Making the decision making process that much easier!

Not in the market for baby announcements?  Not a problem, because Storkie Express  has unique Baby Shower Invitations:

CrinkledNose.com {Giveaway} ***ENDED***

February 6, 2012 by 27 Comments

It’s always an exciting time when a new baby joins the household and our dandy household is no exception to that rule!  Banjo literally tells everyone that he has a new baby sister.  Only he leaves out the sister part.  It’s “I have a new baby” or “That’s my baby”.  It’s really cute!  Banjo hasn’t really seen a soul (outside of our household) over the last week, because he has been sick.  He hasn’t even been allowed to be around Ruby, because he is sick with RSV!  Scary times at our house.  We kept Ruby isolated from him as soon as we found out he had it.  Unfortunately over the weekend she began to have breathing problems that took us to the ER.  She tested positive for RSV, but is slowly on the mend.  Now that she has it we will still not being seeing people for awhile as she will be sick for another 7 days.  🙁  It’s a good thing that CrinkledNose.com let us create her baby announcements so people will be able to see her!  The announcements, cards, invitations, calendars, and note pads at CrinkledNose.com are totally different from what you will find elsewhere.  What makes them so special?  All all available for a magnet upgrade!  Picture this.  A baby announcement with a magnetic back built right in.  Announcements and such always end up on the refrigerator for all to see and CrinkleNose.com makes that easily done!

Here’s just one of their adorable baby announcements:

And like I said there’s also….

Cards:

Invitations:

Calendars:

August 23rd is my wedding anniversary.  Happy soon to be anniversary honey!  Can you believe that the audiologist man and I will be celebrating 9 years of wedded bliss?  I can’t believe that it’s been that long!  That would like mean I’m getting OLD or something and I don’t feel old.  :)   Seriously it seems like just yesterday that we had our magical wedding day.  Despite the torrential rain storm, flat tire, and my being late for my own wedding it’s my most favorite day.  The day I married my bestest friend.   

We were married here:

 

Our reception was held here:

 My dress, shoes, and flowers were absolute perfection!  And the invitations/announcements…  Okay so they were kind of boring.  Nothing like the look of this beautiful wedding invite:

 

Or this one:

 Aren’t they beautiful?  Both are wedding invitations from Whimsy Place.

Plus, if you are looking for affordable wedding invitations (my boring ones unfortunately weren’t affordable) then the place to get them are at Whimsy Place!  How I wish they existed 9 years ago!  At Whimsy Place you get an entire package all for an affordable price.  The package actually includes an engagement photo on the back of the invitation:
