Pocketfold invitations are all the rage, but buying them can be costly if you need to purchase a large quantity. Making them yourself is a great option if you are on a budget and have a few months before it’s time to mail the invites. So, I thought I’d show you how I made one from some old cardstock. This pocketfold is made from one sheet of 12″x12″ scrapbooking cardstock and cost me less than 20¢ thanks to paper purchased during an open stock paper sale at Jo-Ann’s.
1. Start with your sheet of 12″x12″ cardstock and use a paper trimmer to cut it down to 7″x12″. Keep the remaining piece for making the pocket.

It was announced in 2006, and this week it finally came to the ‘Burgh. That’s right Steel City fashionistas, the new 138,000-square-foot Nordstrom store is officially open for business at the Ross Park Mall.

Remember how I said we are going to do chocolate numbers for favors? Well, I thought I would show you the mock-up of how we’re planning on packaging these bad boys. Without further ado:

We’ve picked out our colors, and now that I am pretty deep into buying silk flowers, gathering supplies for our invitations and beginning the search for bridesmaid’s dresses, I thought I would share with you my color swatch sheet, an easy to make tool for helping me keep our colors consistent throughout our purchases. I keep this sheet in my wedding planning binder and it is loaded with swatches of color chips, fabric from my dress, ribbons, lace and a sample of an ingredient I’m planning on using in our centerpieces.

For our favors, I will be making chocolate numbers with candy molds I purchased from One Stop Candle. So, why numbers for a wedding favor? These numbers will also serve double duty as part of the escort cards. When each person goes into the reception hall, they will find their name and be seated at their table, indicated by the number spelled out in chocolate. Directional and delicious! Read more…

I purchased some flip flops at Joann’s when they were on clearance for 50¢ a pair. I got enough to keep a basket of them handy at the reception in case anyone’s feet were hurting. Since they are plain-jane boring, I decided to dress them up by covering the soles with decorative, self-adhesive shelf paper.
I started by making a template. This was easily done by tracing the shape of the flip flop onto a piece of card stock and cutting it out.

You see, while all of those people were in their cars a few hours earlier, making their way into Pittsburgh to form that massive crowd, I got held up in the traffic and was running late for work. The date was February 7, 2006, and the occasion was a celebratory parade in honor of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Super Bowl victory.
Now, as excited as I was that my favorite team was, well, so awesome, I was a little annoyed that all of the hoopla was making me late. Lucky for me, I wasn’t the only one running late that morning. Read more…

Hello, everyone! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be joining the hive as Miss Deviled Egg! I discovered Weddingbee a few weeks after Mr. Deviled Egg and I got engaged and, hands down, it is my favorite wedding website. I’ve been inspired by so many of the bees before me, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to share my ideas and experiences with all of you.
Our wedding plans involve a lot of crafty DIY projects, many practical decisions, a few crazy, wedding-related experiences, and a whole lot of procrastination on my part. All in all, I have complete confidence that everything about our wedding day will come together and result in a beautiful celebration of love, family and new beginnings.
So, why Miss Deviled Egg? I guess because I like to eat them and I’ve been known to make them for family functions. Plus, any dish that allows me to get extra use out of my cake decorating tips is a winner in my book. Read more…
