Ok...so I got MOST of everything I wanted to this weekend... I have a bit more left of the cake topper...I lost too much patience. LOL.The WE DO letters are officatlly DONE!! And, the aisle runner needs some work....I only gave it ONE coat so far... And, I need to pick up black paint for the B and light pink for the date. Soo...I'll update as I go...

What do you ladies think??

I first did it by tracing as everyone said to do it as... but I didn't like the way it came out when I painted it. Seee...

Soo... I cut it off and started over.. LOL... Just painted right on top of the enlargement.... So here it is...about 65% done..LOL

And for the WE DO letters... Finally DONE!

You can't tell in the pics, but the crystals slowly spread out and vanish.. LOL

And, I got some done on my cake topper...STILL not done.LOL

And, this is the enlargement after some of the paint stuck to it...I think it looks pretty nifty. Maybe I can find a spot to use it on our wedding....but it's soo big! LOL

And, that's all folks! LOL

Yay! Dani! You did it! the Aisle runner looks amazing! What kind of fabric did you end up going with? I guess you were able to see through it after all!
Also... what did you use to make the letters with? The We Do and the cake topper? it looks like wood or something? Looks great!

Re: Productive DIY Weekend with PICS

yes, I did everything myself. The WE DO letters and the cake topper are both wood...I got them both from Crafty Eddy...please let me know if you would like his email address. Next, I painted them the colors I wanted, and added the crystals. I used tacky glue for all the cyrtals... alot of people said to use this other type of glue, but the smell was really getting to me. LOL.
The aisle runner is mostly see-through... was very easy to work with. At first I just traced it, but I can see the pencial lines, so I cut it and started out with OUT tracing...and looks soo much better. I have alot to go...but this is just the begining...

Thanks again for all the compliments!
