    I finally finished my STD magnets. It was a process. First I had to research magnetic paper and order it online bc in Spain you can't just go to a store and buy it like in the USA! Wink Then, I spent weeks making different Save the Dates on WORD and finally downloading GIMP and making a better one. From the many better ones I had to choose just one! That took another few weeks and lots of opinions from family and friends. At last we agreed on one, and I printed and cut them. Then I bought hard card stock and cut the card myself, and cut to slits in the corner to attach the magents to. But there was a problem. as you see in the first picture, it looked so plain and needed a finishing touch. I had dried flowers on my table and had an idea! What about putting a dried flower on each one? Who knows how well they'll ship (my friend said hers arrived in one piece), but I attached a dried flower in each corner. Here are the pictures of the process and the end product!

    Thanks! I am no expert, I did everything by eye, not measuring. I am using the same hard card stock to make the place cards. I don't know if I'll glue a little dried flower in each corner of them or what. My sister has nice hand writing so I am going to have her write the names and table numbers. The card holder is a cute little silver elephant. The guest get to keep them as decoration!
