Invitations & DIY Liners...

The time is near! Our invitations go out this weekend :) I did get a little crazy crafty and decided at the last minute I wanted envelope liners. So, after a quick stop at Paper Source I recruited D to help me...

D after 3 hours of cutting paper. He's so cute.

Another hour in...I turned to this...

The final product, roughly 5 hours later.

I must say I do love how they turned out- but honestly should have just decided on them earlier and had Anita (my wonderful stationary designer I have mentioned many times before) take care of them for me. I'm not the craftiest, and needless to say it was a long and stressful process.

Because I'm in a picture sharing mood...here is D in the Memphis airport being a doll and carrying my bag for me...the bag looks good on him huh? :)

  4. I want to do my own liners too! You'll need to tell me how you did them. Annnnd I may or may not also want to steal your invitation designer. Isn't imitation the sincerest form of flattery?! :)
