About Me: I never dreamed about my wedding as a little girl because I was too busy playing in the mud or pretending to be Martha Stewart–but now that it's here, I'm having a fabulous time DIYing everything in sight! We’re planning a very fun multicultural wedding (I'm Jewish and Mr. Cream Puff is Chinese), filled with as many personal details as I can muster.
Let’s Try This Again!
May 29th, 2008 @ 11:29 am by Mrs. Cream Puff
After receiving some comments that confused the heck out of me on my last post, I decided to re-read my post. As it turns out, Ms. Cream Puff is NOT THAT BRIGHT. Half of my post somehow got deleted before I posted it! So let’s try this again. The pink thing is my PHOTO ALBUM, not my invitations.
Back to Friday–I finally picked up my letterpressed invites from the printer. However, I also stopped by Paper Source, where my manager, Schbvonne, had the album she had created for Mr. Cream Puff and I. It is MAGNIFICENT. My excitement about the invitations was totally dwarfed by my excitement about the album. Now I am sad, because you guys all thought the album was my invitation, and my invitation is not nearly as cool as the album. You will all be disappointed by my invitations!!! Oh well, I guess. What’s a dense puff to do? Not too much at this point!
Anyway, so here is the album.
This is the front. She made it out of beautiful fuschia-colored raw silk, chartreuse-colored buttons and navy-colored shiny elastic.
A close-up of the buttons and elastic.
This is the back. I still have no idea where she came up with this elastic/two-button invention, but it is MAGNIFICENT, and beautifully executed.
With the elastic taken off, so the book can open:
As you may recall, I was wondering for awhile there if I should even get a photo album. You guys all said I should. MAN am I glad I did!! This album is seriously the most amazing thing ever. I am so excited. Schbvonne has decided to start a little side business (called Apiary Bindery) making these albums. If you’re interested, let me know and I will forward her your contact info.
I am in love! Although I’m still sad that I didn’t post this entry the right way to begin with!

haha- I was so confused with your last post! I thought your invites were just really really elaborate… I was wondering how you could afford the postage on those babies!
That album is adorable– I love the colors and the button detail!!! And I can’t wait to see your invitations– I’m sure they’re beautiful.
This makes so much more sense! The fuschia silk is gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing the inside!
Light bulb over my head! I got’cha!
The album is GORGEOUS! And I highly doubt we’ll be disappointed by your invitations!
Lol! Yeah, now it does make a LOT more sense! But I still love the buttons. 
And I’m sure that your invitations will be beautiful.
