make it work


Part of my not updating the blog is because I have recently been making these invitations happen. After a lot of effort we realized that the screen printing them ourselves was not going to happen. Though at that point we could not and would not scrap our original idea, especially because we already had everything for them, including our layout. So with a little bit of magic they are born. As Tim Gun say's we made it work.

With a little bit of printing, stamping, cutting, embossing, and exacto knife-ing these are each one of a kind. The fronts are covered with scrap paper and our silhouettes are embossed. The inside is stamped and printed. The silhouettes on the front of the invites and the back of the inserts were exacto knifed from photos, one of them being an adorable photo from our engagement session. For the front I had the silhouette made into a stamp, those will be repurposed for the wedding. Anyhow the point is done, and our friends and family will have them in their mailboxes soon. I do not have to stamp or emboss or glue any more invitations! This girl could not be happier.

shower and polaroids and fun

The wedding is coming together. The bridal shower is already past! It happened yesterday, it was good times to be had by all. My friends and family are awesome, and it made me realize that this is really going to happen! We will make it happen one way or other ;) There is still so much to do, but the invitations are done and almost ready to be mailed! Yah!
