Festive Flamingo Foundation!

We were asked this year to create the Christmas Cards for the wonderful Flamingo Foundation.

The Flamingo Foundation was created to help vulnerable people everywhere empower themselves through long-term, sustainable solutions that benefit their community & the wider public.

Their projects follow three themes: Training, Education & Skills, all with long term, sustainable solutions.

To get involved & help them raise much needed funds that they always put to good use please visit their shop.

Christmas cards are just £1.00! They are silver foiled printed on a recycled Eco Craft card with a matching envelope.

Photography Competition Winner

CONGRATULATIONS!

to the lovely Liz & Paul Howarth of Calverley, Leeds. After we ran our competition Liz and Paul sent us some gorgeous pictures from their big day at the beautiful Bagden Hall in Wakefield on March 2010. We hope you enjoy your champagne that is on its way to you!

We loved their pictures of the Table Plan cards which they tied to willow branches, they then used the same branches as a message tree later in the evening. Guests left messages throughout the evening until the tree was covered at the end of the night, and all the messages are now mounted in one of our beautiful photo albums with images from their big day!


 Here are a few extra images they sent us of there beautiful day. It looked stunning!

This is Liz’s grandad – who just turned 96! We love this picture!

Liz & Paul chose had the ‘Wedding Letters’ Invitation from our Boutique Laser-cut collection, in alabaster with aqua inlays and ivory ribbon, co-ordinating Menu and Table Numbers, Dove placecards, Table Plan cards, Message Tree cards and Thank You Cards.
