My oldest son Jakob turned seven last fall. His birthday falls around Halloween and because I was having a creative block, I decided to go the easy route and just make Halloween themed invitations for him. I used a fold out card I initially saw on CardsTV as a jumping off point, and this is what I came up with.
Truth be told, these were fairly intricate. I had several months to work on them, and I was very happy with the way they turned out. I used pattern papers from DCVW Halloween stacks. I like the effect of changing up the papers, and colors of the embellishments so that no two invitations look alike.
I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world.

Welcome to Sabriolet Designs. Who am I? A mid-western girl now living in the South. I wear a multitude of hats on any given day including: domestic goddess, wife, attorney, child advocate, mom, paper crafter extraordinaire, bookworm, and perennial Buffy The Vampire Slayer fan. A few years ago I began paper crafting and it has flourished into a full-fledged obsession. I simply love paper. Paper crafting has become a way for me to express myself, to see something through from beginning to end. There is a little piece of me in everything I create. And with that, I hope you enjoy what you see here.
All work on my blog is original unless stated otherwise. I strive to give credit where credit is due and I believe strongly in the do under others as you would have them do unto you principle.
