Arts and crafts night

I was supposed to come home tonight and CLEAN

Here's what I did instead - place card prototypes. Do they look tacky? everything else is navy, but I can't get the calla lilly to be navy

and yes there is a wine glass in the back left of the picture

Re: Arts and crafts night

and then I made a little thing (copied from the new MS Weddings) to hold a abkle bracelet I am putting in the travel jewelry boxes for the BM

I really need to get a straight edge cutter

Re: Arts and crafts night

I actually got the placecards at staples on sale one day 200 for < $5 - they're not our colors (off white not white) but for $5 what do you expect?

I pulled the call from clipart and adjusted the layout of the template I downloaded for the placecards.

Jenn

I kinda like hte name left justifiewd and the table right justified. I'll run a sample all centered.

MS weddings = Martha Stewart Weddings

Our names font is Sloop Font Two

Re: Arts and crafts night

Helen, I love your programs. A silly question, but what is the best way to make the holes for the ribbon to go thru?

Re: Arts and crafts night

sparkette, I'm using a fiskars 1/8' hole punch, and very fine ribbon. The hole punch comes in about 1' from the edge of the paper.

Re: Arts and crafts night

thanks Tracy - I Fm'd you about the anklets. They were'n't expensive at all.

The jewelry boxes came in and I love them, so I will put the anklet in each box
