LIGHT BULB!
[read in the same tone as in movie Despicable Me]
Usually when I am swarmed with work, my light bulb starts working. Don't ask me why...it just always does. I had this flash of ideas back to back on how my gift tags and wishing cards going to look like. Heck! I even considered making them with my bare hands. Unlucky for me, those machines cost me a BOMB!
I have always wanted a monogram for my wedding tag and wishing card. Okay you lots probably wondering what is so difficult or costs me that much right? It is because I don't want it to be printed on a piece of coloured patterned paper; I wanted it to be cut as per its shapes and punch a hole for the ribbons. Yeap, die cut monograms!
Despite the swanky look that I wanted, trust me when I said it is expensive, it is truly really is exxy!! My heart skipped a beat when several printing houses even friends quoted that much of monies. Therefore, I started my quest looking at all sorts of paper crafting machines. I guess then I knew why it is so exorbitantly steep priced.
But I still want monograms of my name and Mr.S!! I WANT MONOGRAMS! There I emphasized it. And emphasize it again, again and again. POP! Another flash of ideas came to my mind.
Blink blink my eyes went and I knew those monograms I have always wanted would not go well with our wedding theme. Miraculously God did His deviant way to show it to us, humans. Back to my theme: pure indigenous traditional Malay wedding theme would most definitely clashes with my avant-garde gift tags therefore, I decided {of course, after consulting with Mr.S} to try arabic monograms or normally known as calligraphy monograms.
Again, I took on a quest looking for those who has the skills to design my calligraphic monograms and I found one! Yippee yippee yippee... As Mr.S would say, I always get hyped up over something I like and straight shoot an email to the person. He replied promptly and managed to deliver just what I expected. Superb! And I love it so much...thanks to Pixenpensoul!
Love,
