I love, love these custom silhouette ornaments – the result of a collaboration between Le Papier Studio and Paloma's Nest. For those of you with children or planning to have children, you could even order a new set every couple of years or so and watch your family grow:
Each ornament is hand crafted using white clay and then hand painted with black paint. You can find them in the Le Papier Studio shop right here.
And speaking of the holidays…
Are you interested in advertising on Oh So Beautiful Paper for the holidays? I have a few spots left for holiday sponsorships. To request rate information, please read this page and then e-mail me to request rate information.

Lisa discovered these amazing wedding invitations — the invitations were printed in two parts on two sheets of transparent paper (like vellum), so that one side of the invitation had to be placed over the other to see all the information:
In addition to just being a very cool design, the invitation was also meant to convey a sentimental element. Â The designer* said the use of the couple’s initials was meant to convey their union in marriage. Â Sweet, no?
Have any of you considered using overlapping transparent elements in your wedding invitations?

Good morning everyone, and happy November! I thought we'd start the week (and the morning) off with a few more holiday cards. First up, Wiley Valentine recently released their 2009 holiday collection, including a bunch of letterpress cards, menus for holiday parties, photo cards, and holiday labels:
Byvik Ink is another of my holiday favorites with their beautiful letterpress cards, and they have a lovely Hannukah card as part of their collection:
I always love the holiday cards from Egg Press — available both letterpress and offset printed — and how cute are the little gnome cards below?
Check out the full collection from each designer by clicking the links below the photos. And if you missed my earlier holiday card posts, just click here.

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Aside from Halloween festivities, I'll be busy working on the second half of the 2010 calendar round-up and pulling together more holiday goodies to share with you next week! But in the meantime…
…a few fun things from the week:
Also, for any engaged couples in the DC area, I'll be speaking at an event called the Not So Big Wedding next Sunday, November 8, in Potomac, MD:
The event is organized by the folks who manage my wedding venue, Woodlawn Manor, and I'll be speaking as part of a panel of recent newlyweds. If you're in the area, I hope you'll swing by and say hello!
