Invitation Proof

Once you have placed an order with us for invitations we realised that many of you asked if we supplied invitation proofs. We are always happy to oblige and have done so upon request. But to make things easier we have now added a drop down menu to the invitation pages so you can choose if you want to receive a proof.

 The Proof drop down menu is located with the
quantity selection and information in-put area.

Choose “Yes” or “No”, if you wish to receive a proof of your invitation.

We will then email you a pdf file of your chosen invitation, for you to check before we print it. All you need to do is tell us if you are happy with the proof and we can then send it to print.

Tartan Themed Party Invitation

A little bit Scottish, a little bit of tartan for this Celtic themed party invitation. A dramatic red, green, black and white tartan border makes this invite ideal for a themed party, ceilidh’s or Burns supper. The text is a script type font in dark green to co-ordinate with the green in the tartan border.

The invitation is A6 in size (148.5 mm x 105 mm) and comes supplied with envelopes.

You’ve seen the outside . . now here’s a peek at two rooms we like the best from each others Sim house. Can you tell we are hooked ?

Grand Maison Kitchen

Citrus burst kitchen for that “wakey wakey” effect in
the morning as your Sims make breakfast

Beach House Upstairs Bedroom with en suite

A calming, light and airy beach bedroom with a
fantastic coastal view to help your Sims drift off to sleep

Sims 3

I have to let you know that we are absolutely gob-smacked with this new version of the Sims. The graphics, detail and game play are fab. You can loose yourself for hours in a virtual world that is fascinatingly realistic and in real time too ! No more does your Sim loose connection with it’s surroundings, because you can stroll (or jog), cycle or taxi through your neighbourhood till your hearts content, completely immersed !

Last night we decided to play with the terrain tools (before we started on our house building) and what amazing scenes you can make. We used one of the existing neighbourhood houses and placed on a lot, then added some landscaping, vehicles, plants and shrubs and hey presto ! The great features here mean that your plants don’t have to be regimented, you can rotate and intermix plant types across the grid squares which makes the whole scene more realistic.

Elaine usually get’s lost designing houses, customising and decorating them, never mind creating Sim’s. While I prefer to work my way up through the skills categories and job prospects and then build my Sim’s “perfect” house !

Look what we’ve created for our lucky Sim’s so far – we even managed a video !
