Favors & Invitations

I hope everyone is enjoying their Spring so far. It's nice to see all the kids playing outside again, riding their bikes and running around their yards. I know that I've been spending alot more time outside myself. It's been a long, hard winter and sometimes I feel like a grizzly bear that's come out of a long winter's hibernation. Can you believe that it's Easter weekend? Summer is just around the corner, I can feel it!
I've been keeping busy with party favors and invitations. Not much time for card making.
I re-made the favors for my nieces wedding shower and here they are. The first sample was too large...it would have fit 10+ Ghirardelli chocolate squares and the new version fits just 3 squares. Big difference in cost. It would have been almost $200. for just the chocolate and who can afford that right now!
Also, I've been asked to make some favors for a wedding and these are what I've come up with for the bride to choose from.....Let me know what you think? Which one would you pick???

The last project I've been working on is some invitations for a bridal shower. Her colors are black with an accent of sage. I found it difficult to work with these colors, but, I was pleased with how the invitations came out.....so was my client. (I'll post these when they're finished)

Happy Easter & Passover to everyone.......I hope the Easter Bunny is good to you all!!! Thanks for looking.
