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.
The Circles ‘n’ Stripes Save the Date card design can be customized
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
photo and by your choice of fonts, font colors and design colors.

New Autumn Sunburst Save the Date Card Design
July 17, 2009
I created this new Autumn Sunburst Save the Date card and I’d like your feedback on it. It is not for sale… yet. I entered it in the Seasonal Save the Date design challenge at minted.com. If it wins or is one of the top designs, then it will be for sale on minted.com.
I used deep jeweltones to give this contemporary card an autumn feel even without the typical fall leaf or pumpkin icons. The stylized sunburst is warm and inviting. It is fun, yet formal; bold, yet simple. The squash orange and garnet red sunburst could be used on the wedding invitations and on other wedding accessories, decorations and favors to carry the autumn theme throughout the entire wedding and reception.
So… if you like it and would like to be able to purchase it, then please go to minted.com and rate it. (5 means you love it!)
While you are at minted.com, take a look at all the awesome designs submitted for the challenge and rate some others as well. (If you only rate one or two cards, then they throw those scores out.)
Also, feel free to leave me a comment either here or on minted.com with your thoughts about my Autumn Sunburst Save the Date card.

Yellow & Green Garden Theme Wedding Ideas
April 25, 2009
Are you planning a Garden Theme wedding for a Spring wedding or a Summer wedding? If you are considering using yellow and green as your wedding colors, here is an inspiration board with some great ideas to get you started.
There are a wide range of yellow flowers that are usually available in the Spring and Summer including yellow roses, lilies, tulips and of course yellow daffodils. If you want the brightest, vibrant yellow, go for a yellow gerbera daisy.
The yellow and green “Flowering Flourishes” pocket wedding invitation set is one of my original creations. It includes the invite, an accommodations card, a reception card and an RSVP card with a recipe card on the back. The pocket fold that is pictured is Lemonade Yellow, the mat is Spring Green and the invitations are printed on cream cardstock. The “Flowering Flourishes” design is elegant, yet contemporary with green stems and flourishes and modern style flowers in different shades of yellow with a hint of orange. Pricing and ordering info is available at www.JoyfulHeartDesign.com. Also available are matching Save the Date cards, Wishes for the Bride & Groom cards, Bookmark Favors, Favor Tags, thank you notes and any other wedding stationery you might need.
