I am currently desigining invitations for my parent's 30th wedding anniversary and my mom is so cool, she chose Damask for her theme.  I was so excited because I LOVE damask design, especially in my favorite colors: red, black, and white.  Those are her colors as well.  Here's what we've come up with so far!!

I designed the following:

• Invitation
• Dance Invitation
• Envelope

Invitation

I opted for the UV spot color on the white leaves, the red T, the red vertical line, and the black swirls.  I think that will add a very elegant touch.

Dance Invitation

For the dance invitations, I opted for the UV spot color on the dark black leaves, the white text on the red bottom, and the black strip.

Envelope

The envelope will be printed with a bleed on the left side, left top, and left bottom.  It coordinates with the damask design and includes a return address in white lettering.

Do you like these?? I am selling the design on my invitation website: www.invites4you.com.  Check it out here!

 Well, it's Sunday and it's supposed to be a day of rest, so have a great Sunday afternoon and don't work too hard today!

I attended Microsoft's new seminar for Women.  Vision To Venture is for upcoming women business owners and current small business owners.  It was amazing.  I met amazing women who all wanted to start or have their own businesses.  I sat with a Veterinarian who is currently waiting on her new office to be completed, a woman who sells promotional items, and another lady who is getting married in September and is hoping to go into business for herself.  They all have great stories. 

If you go, sign up for Microsoft Office Live Small Business.  If you do, you get a FREE copy of Microsoft Office Small Business 2007.  That's $450 worth of software for $59 (registration fee).  It's SOOOOOO worth it, TRUST ME!!

I won the first raffle of the day, a FREE book from Susan Wilson Solovic, Author, CEO, and co-founder of SBTV.com.  The book is titled, "The Girls Guide to Building a Million Dollar Success."  She signed it for me and wished me a Million Dollars!  I'll let you know how it turns out ;) 

They all had great things to say and really good advice, especially tailored for women.  If I could have, I would have bought all of their books, but I stuck to the free one I won.  I had a lot of fun, the food was really good, and the women around me were just as enthusiastic as I was.  I hope you can make it, and if you can't, the seminar will be broadcasted online FREE in May.  So watch out for that.
