Everything looks beautiful You did an amazing job

How did you get all your menu and donation corners so perfect Is there some kind of rounded edge cutter If you did that by hand I am even more impressed

I'd love to say I sat tirelessly toiling away over rounded corners... BUT, I have to admit, the paper for menus, donations and table names came cut down to size with rounded corners. I did those last week and was just too darn tired to dut down another piece of paper!! FH and I figure that between all the printed elements we've made (except the aformentioned), we've cut, gluded and assembled over 1,500 pieces of paper!!! Eek!

Thanks for the compliments!!!

LOL!! It's actually my sister.. and I didn't even notice that until you mentioned it. Fh took the picture!

And to answer your other question... Nope, I'm not a techincally trained graphic designer. Just kinda taught myself over time.

Re: Almost all my DIY projects done!!! Pics...

where do you get all the materials for these things? I want to make programs, menus, donation cards, etc., but have no clue where to start!

Re: Almost all my DIY projects done!!! Pics...

Wow guys... thanks for all of the positive feedback!! After you look at your own stuff for so many months you begin to lose perspective. It's nice to hear from so many brides whose opinions I've really come to respect, that you actually think this is good and will go over well at the wedding! Gives me an added boost of confidence. LIW brides rock!
