My Warm Autumn Leaves Save the Date card is very warm and inviting,
featuring a lovely array of fall leaves in rich autumn colors of burgundy,
orange and brown on a golden sunshine background.
Perfect for a traditional autumn wedding.
The Sassy Sunbursts Save the Date card is for those who want a modern fall wedding
design that is clearly Autumn without the typical fall leaves,
pumpkins or other common autumn icons.

with any color scheme. However, this fall color scheme of maroon,
squash, chocolate brown and champagne is one of my favorites.
These Save the Date Cards can all be customized with your own

Happy National Milk Chocolate Day!
July 28, 2009
No, I did not make that up. It’s official. July 28th is National Milk Chocolate Day!
And I have three sweet treats for you!

This is my husband’s favorite holiday because his favorite snack is Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips. Yep, he eats them right out of the bag. Makes it easy on me. If I want to make his day, I don’t have to labor over a hot stove trying to bake up something sweet and hope that it doesn’t flop. Nope, all I have to do is get him a bag of chocolate chips… but they have to be MILK chocolate, NOT semi-sweet or dark chocolate. Only MILK Chocolate will do.
So, you don’t have to feel guilty for eating your fill of milk chocolate today either. But if you’d like to try something a little “cooler” than just chocolate chips out of the bag, check out
Treat #1:
Try this cool and creamy frozen drink:
Ice Cream Whirly
- 1/4 cup REESE’S Milk Chocolate Baking Pieces Filled with Peanut Butter Creme
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup vanilla ice cream
- Whipped topping(optional)
- Additional REESE’S Milk Chocolate Baking Pieces Filled with Peanut Butter Creme(optional)
Directions:
1. Place baking pieces and milk in blender container. Cover; blend until baking pieces are in fine pieces.
2. Add ice cream; cover. Process until well blended. Pour into glass. Garnish with whipped topping and additional baking pieces, if desired. Serve with spoon or wide straw. 1 serving (about 3/4 cup).

Fabulous Fleur-de-Lis Wedding Invitation Design
May 13, 2009
Fleur de Lis wedding themes are very popular this year and not only for New Orleans brides, Louisiana brides or those of French decent. Brides across the country are choosing the fleur-de-lis as their wedding theme for many reasons. Though the fleur-de-lis is a symbol once used by French royalty, today it is entirely appropriate for modern fashion queens (and, of course, brides.)
According to wikipedia.org, the fleur-de-lis is a stylized design of either an iris or a lily that is now used decoratively as well as symbolically, or it may be “at one and the same time, political, dynastic, artistic, emblematic, and symbolic”,[1] especially in heraldry.
Joyful Heart Design Custom Invitation Boutique now offers a colorful fleur-de-lis pattern wedding invitation design that is completely customizable with any wedding colors of your choice.
Some of our most popular color combinations used for the fleur-de-lis patterns are: chocolate brown, hot pink and light pink; tiffany blue, chocolate brown and chartruese; chocolate brown, celadon green and tangerine orange.
For pricing and ordering information, visit our online custom invitation boutique at: www.JoyfulHeartDesign.com.

February 26, 2009

Here are a few examples of invitations and stationery in Chocolate Brown and Pink.
This unique pocket fold wedding invitation combines Chocolate Brown with several shades of pink —light pink to hot pink.

Pink lettering looks scrumptious on top of Chocolate Brown, as in this Box on Mod Stripes personalized stationery.
Personalized stationery sets are not only great for writing thank you notes, but they also make great bride’s maids gifts.

Remember that everything made by Joyful Heart Design is custom-made and is fully customizable. So, any design, whether it be wedding invitations, bridal shower invitations, baby shower invitations or personalized stationery can be done in Chocolate Pink and Brown.
Dreaming of Cooler Weather
August 15, 2008
Although we haven’t had as many 100+ degree days here in the Lubbock, Texas area, it’s still been really hot! I like Summer, but I am looking forward to the slightly cooler days of autumn.
And working on my new Fall wedding invitation designs has really got me dreaming of Autumn and everything that comes with it: cooler weather, back to school, high school football games, and of course, watching the glorious splendor of the leaves changing from their Summer green to warm shades of yellow, orange, red and maroon.
If you are having a Fall Wedding, and want to incorporate the beautiful warm autumn colors in your wedding, but want something different than the traditional fall designs of leaves, pumpkins, corn, etc., then you are the exact personhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gif I had in mind when I created the following wedding invitations:
Warm rays of “sunshine” burst forth from the corners of the “Sassy Sunbursts” Pocket Fold Wedding Invitation to give a warm welcome to your family and friends.
The “French Fleurs” Pocket Wedding Invitation features one of the hottest wedding color schemes of the season: Green, Orange and Brown.
Butterflies are normally thought of as a Spring or Summer theme, but soft cream and light peach color scheme of this “Lacy Butterflies” Wedding Invitation makes it suitable for a fall wedding as well.
