I've been staying away.....

because of LIW's countdown!!!

I'm not stressed.

I feel like we have enough time to finish stuff.

But still.

Seeing that countdown is annoying!

Last 2 BIG projects.

Program Fans.
Design. Done. Printing. Started. Assembling. Sunday with help of bridal party it WILL Get done!!

And as long as every boozes up centerpieces should be done. And rest of 1/8's of favor done by this coming week.

Giving us a deadline of next weekend to finish everything project wise. If it ain't done, it ain't important enough!

14 Days 19 Hours

Hey!

This site has the best step by step instructions.

But. Depending on how computer savvy you are I would only use it as a guideline. She has the paddle & petal fan WORD templates for free. Which has all the text and all that good stuff.

I initially used her petal fan border (which is a image in Word) and inserted it into Adobe InDesign because I just like the graphic qualities better.
Anyhoo....this AM we decided instead of a rounded edge typical petal fan we wanted a more rectangular shape to it...but still a fan if that makes sense? I used her petal fan as backdrop then made it more rectangular.
Which is great because it actually goes with all our other paper goods better.

If you're interested in a Adobe 'rectangular' fan template shoot me a FM and I'll be glad to send it to you!

GL!

Wouldn't you know it...halfway through printing last night and my cyan ink runs out!

It's ok because I have to wait for my brother to proofread the Chinese version anyhoo. How early is too early to call on a Sunday morning? hehe..
