sigh, here was my attempt. Its not bad, but not what I was going for. The thank you card is obviously on the left with my invitations which were done professionally on the right
hope the pic works..
try to resize the pic so its smaller
its fun to do DIY; plus its personal
ha ha they're not good by any means....however am quite please cause it took like like 15 minutes to whip it up and I havn't done anything like that before...
I dunno how to resize the picture, thats where my problem lies. Theyre always too big!
ok here are some crappy pics taken by my blackberry...sigh, honest opinions please.
oh my god....seriously? my blackberry photo is too large?! I give up! I suck!
If you want to email it to me I'll resize it for you, haha =]

you open your picture, you hit the icon picture/paint, then hit icon above image, hit stretch/skew
then put in smaller numbers like 25% and 25%
I had to figure it out also
good luck try again, I love seeing other people's ideas

Oh my god I feel like such an idiot...but I DID it! I finally know how to resize a photo...now look our WeddingBee because now I can add photos of all the things I haven't been able to before (my ering, my assesories, my BM jewellery etc!!)
Ok here are my lame thank you cards. I have slept on it and I dont like the, they look stupid to me.

Oh my gosh, what don't you like about them? I think they are gorgeous!
those look great! And don't feel bad about the photos, i sor of suck at getting them the right size for weddingbee too...
@misssnowflake - why thanks! but please keep in mind I only did the little one on the right, the one on the left was my professionally done invitation! ha ha
I think you did an excellent job of recreating the professional one and in the end people will love it and then (unfortunetaly) it will get thrown away =( I know it's the sad truth.... but honestly save money on doing the DIY ones..... I think they are fabulous and you did a fantastic job =D WELL DONE!!
I think they look great & I like your idea of matching them to the invitations. The only constructive criticism that I have would be the ribbon (I don't know if this is the excat ribbon you plan on using, or you just grabbed something around the house) but it appears that it has writing on it, and there is more writing showing on the left side vs. the right, which looks a little odd; so I would suggest just solid colored ribbon :)
thanks for the criticism, as for the ribbon, not thats not the ribbon I will be usuing. When I went and bought enough material to make my sample card last night I ended up cheaping out on some stuff incase I didn't like them, and loose my mojo for wanting to DIY the thank you cards. I bought the ribbon from a dollar store ha ha the writting on it actually says true love, and it was a cream ribbon and thats the only reason why I chose it. I won't be using that!
LoL i thought the one you were holding up was the invitation lady's and yours were the typed ones!
So, apparently I thought yours were awesome. I think as long as you use a matching ribbon it looks freakin' the same to me!
Use a paper cutter if you want it perfectly squared. Kinkos and Office Depot has one for 75 cents a cut. And you can put a whole ream in there! Small price to pay to avoid hand-cutting stuff. I used their services for all my stuff so it looks uber professional.
ok - so I ended up not really liking the first set of thank you cards I did. I thought they were pretty crappy actually.
After playing around with some different variations I finally came up with this one, and basically set up a sweat shop for myself in my kitchen to do them.
I got about 15 done, which his good....
I based them off what my invites look like (which is the one in the back of the picture that shows a bunch of the cards) and I found this heart stamp (that is on the sample card I pisted above) that I really liked so I wanted to add those on the cards as well so I placed them on the insides.
Phew...first DIY project...EVER! How do they look ladies? :) be gentle!

thank you! I am! I think they finally turned out how I would like! now its time to make oh....about 50 or so more...ha ha
Wow they look fantastic. I also want to DIY our invites. The lady who did our invitations is great but she is a little pricey.
Great job
Great job! They look fantastic! Don't be so hard on yourself!
Your FH better give you lots of lovin for being so creative! 
& for saving you both $$$!
Great job!! they look so cute!!
You had it on you :)
yay! so pleased! sometimes you can think something is really good because you made it, but the reality is its crap! I am happy to hear thus far that they're not entirely crap!
@sparkles - ha ha the FI better give me credit! BIG credit. I accept gifts,...anything shiny will do! lol
My mom is coming to my house next weeekend (she lived 3 hours away) and is going to help me get them all done! love her

I chantellamus, am going to attempt (key work 'attempt') to make my Thank you cards.
I am NOT the type of person who is creative, or inclined to doing my own projects and up to this point have paid people to do it all for me!
However I told my FI we needed to get some Thank you cards from the woman who did our invitations and he said "NO, your not!" uggh. He thinks she is way to expensive (which she is) we got 90 invites for $700....sigh. so I understand why he is saying no to getting her to do the thank you cards.
So I was on weddingbee....and saw some beautiful creations other girls have made for DIY projects, and have been on etsy and seen all those nice homemade things and I was like...."i can DO that"
So. plan of action is in place. I am going to TRY and do a sample of my thank you card (based on it being a mini version of my invitation, only with minor changes) and see what the FI things. If they're absolutly horrendous then maybe my FI will change his mind about getting someone to do it...but then again I think I am going to put 100% into this...I am pretty excited!
Wish me luck...lots and lots of luck.
