I used pinking shears to cut out the triangles so I only had to sew along the top edge.
I picked fabrics with colors that coordinate with a photo collage I have in the living room.
Then I added some little coffee filter flowers (this link is a tutorial, it's the same place I discoverd rolled fabric flowers). Damon had a lot of fun helping me make these.*I thought I would share how I made post card invitations, because it was inexpensive, simple, and versatile (ie. announcements, holiday cards, etc.). I used photoshop and digital scrap supplies to create the invitations. Then I printed them off as 4x6 photographs. I checked with the post office and 4x6 is about as big as a post card can be. There is a thickness requirement also which a photograph doesn't meet. So, I glued a 4x6 index card to the back. This provided the proper size and a blank spot on the back for writing the addresses and putting the stamp. Many photo labs will create post cards for you, but not in one hour. Since I don't like to wait when I get an idea, this worked well and I had the invites in my hands the same day. It was also less expensive.

How cute. I'm really glad you posted your photo collage, too. I've been wanting to do one forever in our living room and I like to look at others for placement ideas. I had planned on putting my shelf in the middle with pictures and stuff around it, so it's probably going to look a lot like yours. :) Haha. I'll tell you if it turns out.
PS Thanks for your input; my laundry all turned out fine. :)
Love what you do! You are so creative!
You really are creative. I can't wait to see the banner thurs!!
