Not Thanks Enough

March 27th, 2008 @ 4:23 pm by Mrs. Cherry Blossom

Two weekends ago, I was beyond spoiled to death by the shower my girlfriends threw for me. Unfortunately I have no pictures to share… just yet. I have to wait patiently for them to pass it on to me. So many people showed up for dear ol’ me, I just about pissed my pants… it blew my mind! I CANNOT wait to share all the details with you ladies. Hands down, I bow down to my BMs. And a million trillion thanks to our friends who attended and friggin spoiled me (& Mr. CB) rotten. They totally helped us set up house!

Check it, this was only HALF of what we got to fill our empty new place!

Let The Production Begin!

March 25th, 2008 @ 2:27 pm by Miss Sundae

As I mentioned yesterday, we got a ton of wedding related work done it at my parents house this weekend! And when I say “we” I really mean that everyone else worked and I walked around and gave direction while taking pictures. It’s the way to be. Besides the foam letters, Mama Sundae and I made one of the runners so that we can take it up to Wisconsin for our table mock-up in a few weeks. We were originally planning on making them 14-16″ wide, but when we laid the fabric out it was clear that each runner could only be as wide as the biggest part of the pattern:

The Sweetest Factory

March 24th, 2008 @ 6:36 pm by Mrs. Lovebug

A couture wedding gown, a string quartet, a garden full of peonies - of all the incredible details in store for our wedding, how weird is it that my favorite so far is the simplest and cheapest?

This is a handful of kiss stickers I whipped up to act as seals for the candy buffet bags. Just soft pink resume paper from Kinko’s printed in our secondary font (Urgent Telegram) in a medium grey (to evoke the look of a typewriter), punched in one-inch circles, and run through the Xyron sticker maker.

About Miss Cream Puff

How could I give advice about DIY projects without mentioning my favorite DIY products? Obviously, I couldn’t–I’m too obsessed. I’ve been a crafter for as long as I can remember, and since I’ve been working at Paper Source, I’ve learned even more about different products.

Here are my favorites:

You’re One In A Melon!

February 26th, 2008 @ 6:16 pm by Mrs. Eggplant

I have been really into stamping and card making lately. Stamping is such an addicting hobby! I used to be really into scrapbooking, but I’m impatient and it takes so long to finish a scrapbook that I ended up neglecting my projects. With stamping, I can easily finish a project in a hour and move on to a new idea.

Anyway, I wanted to share a card that I made for the Valentine’s day exchange. I found this idea on a stamping blog somewhere and it’s the easiest card ever.

My Valentine swappers all should have received their packages by now, so I can write about one of my all-time favorite baking projects: cookies on a stick! I’ve made these for for baby showers, birthday parties, Christmas exchanges, and more. They are super easy and cute.

Reporting To You From The Field…

February 25th, 2008 @ 9:28 am by Mrs. Corn

Miss Canary came to Boston this weekend for a visit and included a stop at the Paper-Source in Brookline in her itinerary. The store was holding their annual wedding workshop complete with demonstrations and refreshments.

Miss Toucan and I, never ones to miss an opportunity for free cake (not to mention the opportunity to meet Miss Canary in person), took it upon ourselves to meet up at the store as well.

The event was very well organized and we all had a great time. In fact, there were so many great things to share about this event that I am breaking this into three posts. I also took lots of pictures for all of you out there who could not attend. Enjoy!

Matchbook Notepads

February 20th, 2008 @ 1:02 pm by Mrs. Spider

This little spider dusted off the cobwebs and stretched all eight of her legs to craft for Weddingbee’s Valentine’s Day Card swap. I spent a few days lamenting my lack of a Gocco until I realized, heck - I can just use my printer, you know, old school style. I really wanted to do something different but not different enough to require supplies other than what I had left over from the wedding. I mean, let’s be real, I’m way lazier than I am crafty.

After a few mockups, I came up with customized matchbook notepads:
