Happy Friday Everyone! I have been so busy sharing wedding pics with everyone that I never shared with you my fun news – Chris and I finally brought home our new puppy last week! He is adorable but a bit of a stinker. We already have dog toys laying all over the house!

 

I think we will have to pick up a couple more things for him soon to keep him occupied!

Snapshots of my Sisters Wedding Pics

So I can’t wait to share more pics with you – but we haven’t gotten the official pics from the photographer yet. So in the mean time here are some fun pics I took of the happy couple! They got some unique shots!

 

 

Wedding Invitations!

Today I am sharing Laura and Josh’s wedding invitations with you. Josh is a graphic designer and did them himself. I think they turned out great!

The invitations started out unique from the begining. They used vellum envelopes and created a sticker with their wedding logo on the front.

The sticker folded over to the opposite side and showed through all the bright colors of their wedding!

Josh branded their wedding with this little logo. Isn’t it pretty! They put it on everything to make a cohesive statement.

 

 

Notice in the background of the invite Josh shaded with the logo repeated over and over again. 

 

They finished off the back with a great quote Laura likes. 

 I just love  the unique way they turned out! Would you ever do your own invitations?

 

Wedding Week! How to make a Card Box.

Sorry I was MIA for a week. I was at my parents and there are so much preparation for my sisters wedding that I didn’t have time to even touch my computer! I can’t wait to share a bunch of fun pics from my sisters wedding last week that turned out great!

First I made a card box for the bride and groom. We bought a plain heavy cardboard hat box at Hobby Lobby.

First I wrapped it up trying several different ways. After a couple of attempts to wrap the cylinder I decided the best way was to cover it circle wise and then cut stripes of paper down to cover it up and tape down the paper inside.

 

Before I covered the top I just took a sharp pair of kitchen sheers and cut down the card slot big enough to make sure everything can get in. Then once I covered the whole thing I found the whole and then cut down the paper to wrap it to the inside.

For once last finishing touch I cut out a circle to fit the bottom and cover up all the taped down paper.

Next – add a bunch of ribbon!

ta da! all done – once I figured out the best way to wrap the circle it went very quickly! It looked nice at the wedding and then it was just one more present the bride and groom could open.
