Custom Orders

Happy Thursday to everyone! Today I wanted to share with you a custom order. I am not sure if you are aware that I do welcome custom orders and actually find them to be fun and quite challenging at times. This particular work was requested by a client of mine who was looking for some cards that could be given in sobriety support groups or to those who have been affected by a loved ones struggle with drinking. At first I wasn't quite sure how to go about creating such cards, but my client supplied me with a few sayings that were often used in these support groups and I was off and running. I actually was contacted by this client well over a couple of years ago and have been creating cards for them off and on ever since and have really enjoyed the challenge of coming up with new designs. All of these cards pictured above are available for purchase, if you are interested, please contact me a saraannecreations@hotmail.com and I can add them to my Etsy shop. (Prices for my cards usually are around $4.00 per card or 5 for $15.00 +shipping, however prices can fluctuate depending on difficulty and supplies used) You can also contact me at the same email if you would like to place a custom order of your own! I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday, and thanks for visiting my blog!

UPDATE...

Happy "Hump" Day everyone. I hope you are all doing well :) I just wanted to take a quick moment to give you all an update about me and my YouTube channel. I know that it has been quite a while since my last video...not due to me having nothing to film, but due to poor filming equipment to say the least. All of my previous videos have been filmed on a simple point and shoot camera, which not only makes it difficult to tell if I am in frame or not but the audio that accompanies my videos is very poor. So I have ultimately decided to try and put off filming until I am able to update my filming equipment. I hope to invest in a camcorder with a swivel screen so that I can see where I am filming vs. guessing and hopefully with a better camcorder will come better audio...fingers crossed. I know that this isn't the most ideal situation, however, I much rather film higher quality videos with better quality audio than to have my viewers squint to watch my videos and wear headphones to hear them. I hope that you all will understand my reasoning here and will stick around for many many more future videos to come. I plan on updating my filming equipment within the next couple of months (hopefully...) with new videos to come soon after. I guess that will do it for today. I hope you have a great rest of your day and I will talk to you soon!

The Future of my YouTube Channel...

So as many of you may know, my previous videos have focused on DIY Wedding Videos, where I share with you DIY wedding projects that I did for my own wedding. Since my wedding was well over a year ago, I have been debating what to do with my channel and have decided to continue sharing with you craft related videos. When I originally started my channel, my ultimate goal was to share with others my creative passions and to inspire others to create and I hope that starting with this video, I will be doing that. I can't wait to see what the future may hold for my channel and I want to thank everyone who has viewed my videos, subscribed and have supported me thus far.

Episode 5: DIY Bridal Bouquet & Boutonnieres

Hey everyone, if you haven't checked out my YouTube in a while Episode 5 of my DIY Wedding Series is up!

I haven't posted any videos as of late simply because I am not sure what other DIY Wedding projects I can share with you from start to finish. Many of my other DIY Wedding projects I created for my wedding are either detailed, time consuming or both, so it would be nearly impossible to share with you my step by step process. However if you have any other video requests, let me know and I can see if there are any that I can do. I hope you all are having a wonderful Friday and that you will have an even better weekend.

DIY Wedding Favors

Hey all, I FINALLY added a new edition to my DIY mini wedding series. I know that I am not the best video poster, but I still hope you love my videos all the same and hope that one day I will get better at posting videos on a more regular basis. I think filming and posting my DIY wedding series videos are harder for me because my wedding has come and gone and trying to find all of the supplies I used to create all of my wonderful little DIY projects can be quite hard to find if not impossible. With that said, I still hope that you have enjoyed what videos I do have and that they help inspire you to create unique things for your own wedding or events. I look forward to creating more videos for you in the future and hope that you have a wonderful Thursday!!

First Ever Altered Canvas

Hey all, I know that it has been a while since my last post, however, I really wanted to share with you my first ever altered canvas!! :)

Here it is!! What do you think? I have to say, it definitely took some time and a bit of thinking out of the box for me, but I LOVE how it turned out!!
What inspired me to create this small piece of art was my Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jeff...a few years back they began drifting apart and unfortunately ended up divorcing, however as time went by, they re-discovered the love and respect that they once had for one another and decided to get married again :) So yesterday, June 15th, 2013 they got re-hitched. Unfortunately I wasn't able to make it to their wedding because they live so far away, instead I decided to make them a small altered canvas, that I hope will remind them every time they look at it to "cherish every moment" they have with one another and to remember that marriage is hard work and that there are going to be ups and PLENTY of downs, but to always remember to love one another and know that TOGETHER anything is possible. But I hope that you like it as much as I do...oh, and here is the matching card I made to go with it

New Video

Hey all just wanted to let you know that Episode 3 of my mini DIY Wedding Series is up on my YouTube channel. I am going to apologize ahead of time for the audio, I don't use my nice camera for filming very often (which I hope to change in the future) so I am not really familiar with where all of the mics are, so you will hit patches of muffled sounds, so I am very very sorry about that, but I hope to do better in the future. I do hope that you enjoy the video and that it gives you a lot of inspiration :)
