Monogram Cake Topper

Labels: Cake Topper, Crafty Eddie, Monogram, Threadart - Friday, September 25, 2009

I started on my monogram cake topper last night and finished up this afternoon! I'm IN LOVE with it. I didn't put out the money for the swarovski crystals, I just bought hotfix rhinestones. I bought 1440 aquamarine 10SS rhinestones from www.threadart.com. I am not sure how many I had to use, but I know it was less than half of them. I'm very pleased with the end product! Now I've got to get FI convinced to use this and ONLY this one as our topper.

This shows the color a little better...

And one more, my sweet Daisy trying to figure out what I'm holding!

RINGS!

Labels: Babb's Jewelry, Bands - Friday, September 18, 2009

I went by the jewelry store were FI got my engagement ring this morning while I was out running errands. I was thrilled to find the bands that I will be wearing for eternity! :) I don't have pictures of it yet, but when I stop back by there in a little bit, I'm going to see if they will let me take pictures of the three together. It's a little more than what I wanted to pay, but I LOVE them and the sweet lady is going to cut me a deal since I'm buying one for each side of my ring.

Pictures to follow!!!
Update:

Here they are together! I'm in love!

Design: Photoshare Cards & Mad Lib

Labels: DIY, Mad Lib, Photo Share Cards, reception, Stationary - Thursday, September 03, 2009

Hey everyone! It's been a while since I've blogged, so here I am to blog! I haven't checked anything big off the wedding to-do list since the dress purchase. I have, however, been designing some stationary stuff. First off, I have the front design of our photo share cards. I created it using scrapblog.com and it was super easy.

I have also been working on a cool idea I got from some girls on theknot.com, Mad Libs for our guests to fill out at the reception! I designed the front of the card on scrapblog.com and I took the wording from a mad lib off Cheyenne Schultz's website and tweaked it a little. I LOVE this and I hope that it's a hit with our guests!

Have Your Cake

Labels: Cake Topper, Crafty Eddie, DIY, Monogram - Monday, August 17, 2009

I haven't looked into anyone to make our cake but I do have a couple of people running through my head. When I started planning I seen that the 'in' thing at the time was monogram cake toppers, covered in bling. I talked with another knottie about either renting/buying hers after her wedding. Once she gave me the prices she would rent/sell for, I decided I could make my own topper for MUCH cheaper than what she even wanted to rent hers for. I set out on a mission to find the prettiest 'P' and finally decided last week. I ordered my DIY wooden cake topper from Crafty Eddy (craftyeddy@gmail.com) on Thursday. I decided to use Brock Sript and I will buy my rhinestones from ebay (the cheapest I've found). I'm very exicted for this to get here...although I shouldn't be working on it since school is back in session, I'm sure I'll have it done within a week or two.

Bridesmaids

Labels: Bridal Party, Dresses, Pearl's Place - Tuesday, August 11, 2009

I got together with my bridesmaids this weekend (after they received the Will You...BM cards) and discussed wedding things, including dresses. I found a dress last year when two of my BM's were getting married and I started to buy it to wear to their weddings, but I waited too long to order it. I showed them this dress and they all liked it! Woo-hoo! I'm going to call Pearl's Place (where I got my dress) and check the prices on them (the cheapest I've found them for was $112.50). I am almost sure that we can get those for less than $100 from PP! So, I'm off on the hunt to find the cheapest place to get this dress:

Ordered My Dress

I should have posted this Tuesday, but I just didn't. I decided to go ahead and order my dress through Pearl's Place for $544) plus shipping @ $12/$20). I'm very excited...obviously since I've posted about my dress three out of the last four posts

One of Jason's family members called me at work yesterday morning and informed me that wedding apparel is included in the tax free weekend...so I may be ordering the veil from DB's this weekend as well!

A New DIY

Labels: Blankets, Cars, DIY, Nephews -

My sister bought the cutest fabric with the characters from Cars on it to match A's (my nephew) room. She asked me to make a blanket and of course I said yes :)! I come over to make it last night, and I completed it all in about 5 hours. This was the first time I've made a blanket used the fabric as the binding of the blanket and I've decided that it's how I'll probably make any blanket from now on. Here are some pictures!
