Pot-o-clover postcards for a wedding

I spent today printing these simple save-the-date cards for my friends Christine and Nate's Irish-themed wedding. I have never made a custom design for something so important as a wedding before so I made the process harder than it needed to be. I was very critical of all my design ideas and ended up dreading the project a little because I was so afraid of letting my friends down (even though they were very easygoing about the whole thing).

When I finally buckled down, committed to a design and began printing, I enjoyed the process as much as ever.

A moment ago, I went to deliver the cards to Christine and Nate and they were so pleased that I have to laugh at myself a little for being a hyper-critical neurotic. The experience turned out so nicely that I hope to have the opportunity to do special custom prints again sometime!

I forgot to mention these:

Last week I was overindulging in a fantasy about home ownership and pining away for one particular 1920s cottage for sale in our neighborhood. I was browsing the listing photos online and imagining my stuff in it's rooms and my garden in it's yard and especially my relaxed self in it's claw-footed bathtub. I dove so deeply into this dream that I began wondering what the neighbors would think of us when we moved in. I sketched a friendly little note to them and pictured myself putting it in their mailbox and them being utterly charmed by my neighborly-ness.

Sadly, I don't reasonably see Justin and I having the opportunity to buy our first home for quite awhile but that didn't stop me from printing the cards up anyway. For maximum sweetness, I was given permission to model the houses after Jessica from Petite House's little sculptures.
