    I'd like to use this as an idea for my guest book, but I want deer instead of birds and I wamt orange and red (fall colors Laughing) paper leaves instead of finger prints. I have no idea where to order one though. I've seen several on etsy, but can they make mine the way I want? Or do I have to use their template? I'm in love with this tree, a lot of other trees on templates I've seen aren't ones I like. Anyone know where can I order one?

    They should customize it for you, might just want to send them a message and ask. Or have someone you know that can paint/draw well make the tree for you (thats what we did, they made it as a gift, so didnt have to pay for it)

    Could you make your own?  I also ordered from Etsy (and it wouldn't hurt to see if they'd customize based on your ideas), but I love the idea of the paper cut out leaves.  I found this on paper leaves:

    Or...the other thought is to order the tree with the branches without the deer and add them yourself.  And then make your own paper cut out leaves...

    @HeatherShane: My MOH is an art and design major so she could probably do it! What kind of canvas did your friend draw on?

    @pengoala: I think I'll ask someone it Etsy if they could possibly draw one for me the way I'd like if my MOH can't do it.

    I think your inspiration picture was painted by the same person who did ours. She is a seller on etsy...

    This is her screen name.

    Below was our tree. I was so happy with it!

    @Mrs.tobe: They do look very similar, thank you! I just wrote her on Etsy so hopefully i will hear back. If you don't mind my asking, how much did yours cost?

    @nrieder: I'm pretty sure it was around $75... I hope you can work something out!

    @Mrs.tobe: Great!! I'm excited, my fiance wanted a slab of wood for everyone to sign that we would then later hang on the wall.....I see where he thought that would look okay but I want something a little more wall-worthy. Thanks again for your help :)

    @nrieder: Funny you should say that, we were going to do that then switched to a bourbon barrel head. So we actually had both! It went over fantastic!

     ETA: This is the barrel head that we used after we got our WP to sign it at the rehearsal dinner. It's completely full of signatures now. :) Guestbook Help :  wedding guestbook tree paper personalize 307769 10150319518312880 511517879 8093402 73130319 N

    @Mrs.tobe: Oh haha, that's actually really cute! I think if we were to do something more like that I'd like it better. Maybe I just didn't like the way the wood looked when it was cut, i dunno.

    @Mrs.tobe: Do you remember how big yours was? She quoted me for $95 saying I would need one that big for 150 people but yours looks like it would work just fine.
