    I don't have pics of everything and I still have many projects left to work on.

    First thing finished was my ringbearer pillow.

    We also did our Save the dates and I created these crystal compotes/vase for our centerpieces.

    @twocatcupcake  what brand of embossing powder did you use?  My embossing didn't come out as good as yours and I am wondering if it is the ink or the embossing powder that is the issue.

    @twocatcupcake Don't worry about it because I also got the cheapest from them.  Maybe it is the ink then.  UGH! I am trying to get it right before I start the embossing diy projects

    @camrie:Your DIY projects were some of the first I saw, and I was blown away.  I was truly stunned by how classy and elegant DIY could be.  Especially after seeing some of the cheesy cr@p out there on the internet.

    And some from the wedding. (they were taken during set up so some of it look pretty bare) We made the trivia cards and the table cloths and centerpieces in the 1st picture for the dancing area. The 2nd has anniversary cards for people to sign and a shadow box in remembrance of my grandmother and who died a couple months ago. Also a before and after pic of my mother's dress we had turned into a reception dress. And the 3rd pic is our programs!
