Movies to see

I'm so glad I saw Julie & Julia with Tami in 2009; a film about food (which I love) with a dear friend (whom I love). Here are some films I'd love to see in 2010!


Leap Year
cuz I love RomCom's and Irish accents (which are my fave!). Such a hopeless romantic! *rolleyes* Plus the latest Snow Patrol song plays over the trailer. =) 


The Young Victoria


Coco avant Chanel aka Coco Before Chanel ...en anglais ;-)


As well as (click to see trailers):
A Single Man - with Mr. Darcy aka Colin Firth
The Lovely Bones - with Mark Wahlberg
Up in the Air

prototypes!!!


Here are the prototypes for B & J's wedding invitation 'suite'! What do you think??

Edit: I added the choices for the bandeau wrap. The tags are separate from the invitation; does it lend the tags a sort of bookmark feel?






The tag:


The invitation:

And here are some choices to make about the bandeau wrap. I know B likes the embossed look it gives. The top paper *is* the actual paper to be used; metallic orange. We'll go with the notch to keep it together (easily taken apart) and then her and J just need to decide if they want to the Damask or Writing design. =)

Oh and the wax on the bookmark tag set will be orange wax.
