My First Attempt at my DIY Invitations

So...what ya think? I'm going to be making a few changes - not sure about the border....there will also be a white ribbon to close the pocketfold and sealed with a 2x2 diamond lable matching the background.

Aw thanks...I'm

The most effort (and time) was getting the font aligned, borders, and such....I guess the 'designing' part. The assembly was super easy!

Well your design is a beautiful one, no doubt you spent loads of time making it the masterpiece it is! And after looking at your community album of monograms, I just might have to 'beg'

you to make me some!
Your work as always is fantastic! You should be proud

Re: My First Attempt at my DIY Invitations

Love the colors and design and everything....but.... the wording of Mr. and Mrs. Richard and Linda seems a little weird.

Mr. Richard (blank) and Mrs. Linda (blank)
or
Mr. and Mrs. Richard (blank)

It just doesn't roll well on my tongue.
Or am I just not using my tongue right today?
