Wedding Paper Items

Goodmorning everyone! Thought I would share a few photos of some lovely paper things that I made for the wedding...

These are our programs that I made out of various vintage style scrapbooking paper. To hold them together I sewed a zig zag line straight down the binding edge.

Yes, you CAN sew paper!

I made these cute little bags, that folded down like coffee bean bags, for our candy table. So easy to make! I simply put on a sticker label that I AGAIN got from paper source, after stamping all of the labels with different Butterfly stamps. There's something I just love about stamps...so I put them on everything.

And this is one of the "Reserved" cards that we put on the tables at the reception. I made them from cards that I stamped and glued buttons (from my never-ending collection) on!

Have a great day and go create something!

Rehearsal Dinner

We had so much fun on our rehearsal dinner night. It was filled with family, food and friends...

The gerbera daisies on all of the tables were so pretty. It was a blast too going that morning with my mom to get them all!

We love our friends!

Yummy mexican food.

My sweet grandparents.

And this would be my adorable niece...she's just so stinkin' cute!

...the hubby and I...

F.A.M.I.L.Y.

Addi loves flowers. She even puts her little nose up to them, wrinkles it a bit and makes a sniffing noise.

She also loves Memaw.

Here are some of the wedding party gifts.

I made the cards using an embossing technique.

Crafty Finds

Just wanted to share with everyone a couple of great craft projects that I found and made this week...

The first one is this lovely throw pillow.

It was a lot of fun to make and looks so pretty on our bed!

I also made this rice bag feet warmer...

What a blessing it has been! As a person notorious for always having freezing tootsies, this warmer has been life changing. :) I have used it everyday since I made it. Also, it was really easy to make and didn't take very long. Perfect for the upcoming cool weather!
