I went to school to study Magazine Journalism, ended up with a second major in Japanese language, and now work at a company that makes software for libraries. I love writing, computers, photography, and the great outdoors. I spend most of my time playing Guitar Hero and Rock Band or geeking out online with Mr. Cherry Pie. I'm happiest when I'm on the road, especially traveling abroad, or just nesting quietly at home with my sweetie, who is a fabulous cook and bakes a delicious rendition of a certain cherry-filled dessert!

Paper Source Programs

August 27th, 2008 @ 8:33 am by Mrs. Cherry Pie

After our Seattle Weddingbee meet up in July, I stopped by the Paper Source in Bellevue to brainstorm programs. We had in mind that we wanted to just print two long rectangular pages on cover stock, round the corners, punch holes in them, and secure them with ribbon. That would have been simple enough, but Paper Source tempted me with pre-punched khaki-colored backings (available in packs of 25 for $10) that would save me the hassle of buying a corner-rounder and the time of rounding 200 corners. Yes!

I got a couple packs of the khaki backings, some 8.5″ x 11″ paper in Luxe Cream, chocolate brown ribbon, and a tiny hole punch. I was all set to go.

DIY (or with a little help) Programs

July 15th, 2008 @ 2:33 pm by Mrs. Tiramisu

I can’t really take too much credit for these… I ~~stole~~ borrowed the design from Mrs. Emerald and Mrs. Eggplant, and had them cut at Staples (best $3 ever spent). They were folded and assembled with help by my family members. The whole process really went a lot faster than I thought it was going to, and I’m pretty happy with how they turned out!

Cover done with Gocco (I wish you could see the lighter blue color in the corners better in this photo), card stock from paperandmore.com, ribbon (same as invitations) from MJ Trim.

Playbill Programs

Our guest blogger Andrea created these super fun diy playbill programs that she wanted to share with the hive!

A lot of wedding programs looked like restaurant menus to me, so it was one of the first DIY projects I wanted to tackle. My fiance came up with the great idea of making a playbill - we love the theater, so it fit us perfectly.
