mudcards custom cake toppers

I know I'm doing a lot of features of Etsy products but I can't help myself as I keep finding more and more cool items! If there is one thing to splurge on let it be Mudcards custom cake toppers by Keren Smith.
I had one wedding that did one similar and it turned out to be the cutest thing ever and their guests ooh'd and awe'd over it all night. It matched them and we did a photo to show it. The entertainment alone is worth it plus it's a keepsake.

Cotton-pickin' Flowers

Speaking of green... check out these fabulous cotton bouquets by AutumnArt on Etsy. I saw these and fell in love. Very VINTAGE I might add. Not only do they last longer they are so freakin' cool. And you just can't beat the prices compared to so many bouquets out there. Can I please get married again? I gotta talk to my husband. ;)

If hangers could talk...

Are these not the cutest things since sliced bread? O.K. fine, bread isn't even this cute. I especially love, love, love these for photos during the dress and getting ready shots. So much more appealing than your average plastic hanger. And well done I might add.

I think any bridal shop who wants to get ahead of their competition should consider these.

Find a custom made hanger for your wedding day on Etsy at the OriginalBridalHanger or the TellOurStoryToo store. Or there are many others out there they make them on Etsy too. There are even ones that sell a groom one too! Have fun shopping and let me know what you get!

Dear previous neighbors of 20 Michael Rd, Fort Edward, NY

We're sorry for ever burning. I know we had a wood stove at one point and we occasionally made a bon-fire when we were stinkers, but we have learned our lesson now and really hope we can be forgiven. We would like to stop the "what comes around goes around" asap so please accept our sincerest apology.

Enhancement of the month October 2011

Based on the previous post about black and white images.
http://www.outoftheordinary.biz/enhancements.html

Professional Grayscale (Black & White)

Many get confused by your average black and white image and think just anyone or any program can do it; when if fact that is not true. I always include in my wedding packages many versions with many photo versions. Some of them include artsy, accent colors, b/w and sepia tone all while going through them and seeing what pops out to me. Not every image transfers to black and white nicely and sometimes images only stand out well in black and white. I once had the comment "You included b/w images that anyone could do." Not so! When changing an image to grayscale there should be changes made in contrast and brightness. The image should pop as a black and white otherwise there is no sense in doing so. Here are a couple examples of before and after and I'll let you but the judge. (See October 2011 enhancement of the month post to see the before/after effect even better!)

Thank you!

After receiving a very nice comment, thank you John, it made me realize that I guess I did O.K. back then. We've had a rough year or two with our illness from the house and although we got off track I hope to be on a new tract soon. Lots of stuff coming this winter. I am finishing my season up now of weddings and onto projects I've been lagging on. I've been sitting on so many topics that I'm forgetting them before I'm able to write them all down or post. Amazing how the creative brain works. That's all for now; back to processing for me! Ta-Ta! Ps. I am SO changing the archives back to the right side... it's killing me.
