Cooking with DIY gas UPDATED with New PICS of cardbox!

LOL Ok so channeling that ever hand phrase of my mom's, I have goten busy today and plan to be busy into this evening and this weekend. I started my DIY and am really happy with them so far.

So far I hav done:

-LOVE letters for the cake table
-guest book that will also double as the story of how we met (the first few pages) for those who do not know.
-BM hair barrettes

I'd done out unity candle awhile ago but have to fix it cause cats go to it :shock:

Still working on:
-place cards
-Wedding newsletter
-BM newsletter for final updates
-DAY OF Itinerary because my family likes to run on Puerto Rican time and not EST!

BRIDESMAID GERBER HAIR COMBS:
CHEAP TO MAKE! And sooo easy and really ended up pretty.

Back of the combs:

Tryigng one out (they can slip in pretty much anywhere into any hirstyle becase of the comb.

LOVE LETTERS:
Ok so I TRIED Decorating them in trim like so many girls do; pink and white or orange and white. But I do not have surgeons hands and they ended up retarded. So instead I bougth wood rub ons and sticky jewels and voila! LOL the shakey handed girl's way to gettin' it done!

Close ups:

GUESTBOOK:
Our gusest book will also double as the story of how we met (in the first few pages) for those who do not know it. I took a plain black 8x8 scrapbook (5 bucks on sale) and covered it with scrabook papers, stickers and embellishments in our colors.
Cover:

Inside cover:

Our Cardbox:
Thanks to JKiesel for telling me about this planter at AC Moore. We painted it and decorated it with garlands from the dollar store-removed the roses and replaced them with gerbers. I really am happy with it.

UPDATE!!
Our finished table numbers in frames:

New Unity candle-colors look off because of the pic but they are fuschia, orange and red.

Fiinishing the B< itinerary and the wedding newsletter now! WOOO!
