Buggin’ Out Some More

April 10th, 2008 @ 4:31 pm by Mrs. Eggplant

If I haven’t convinced you to buy a Cuttlebug yet, maybe this next tutorial will sway you. I’ve shown you how to emboss using Cuttlebug embossing folders and today I will show you how to use Cuttlebug dies. What is a die? A die is a metal form or stencil that is used to punch or cut out shapes. Below is a picture of the…

We Would Like To Thank…

April 7th, 2008 @ 11:15 am by Mrs. Jelly Beans

Post-wedding, after the oohs and the aaahs, after the last gift was unwrapped, meticulously catalogued, alphabetized and put away, it was time to think about Thank You Cards!

I smell another DIY project in the works! Of course friends and family, Mr. Jelly Beans included, tried to convince me to succumb to the conventional store bought route. Not that there is anything wrong with store bought.…

More Cuttlebug Fun

April 3rd, 2008 @ 4:44 pm by Mrs. Eggplant

I finally finished sending out “thank you” cards to all of our wedding guests… all except for my bridesmaids. Five months have passed since the wedding and I haven’t officially thanked them! That’s awful, isn’t it? I had my heart set on making each of them personalized cards, and I just didn’t have the chance to get around to it until recently.

I made another “thank you”…

A New Addition To The Craft Room

April 1st, 2008 @ 9:28 am by Mrs. Eggplant

After my wedding passed, I needed a way to fill the void that wedding planning had once occupied. What was I to do with my lonely craft-deprived hands? Well, I recently discovered the wonderful world of stamping and paper crafting. I’ve always been a scrapbooker, but I have developed a new love for stamping and card making. Along with this new hobby, I picked up…

Why, Thank You!

March 28th, 2008 @ 1:36 pm by Mrs. Penguin

I ran into the Paper Source the other day to grab some Thank You cards for my shower.  PS had some really delicious letterpress cards in store, but at $13 for 10…I thought maybe another time.

Time to bust out the Gocco! So I thought I’d be totally unoriginal and go with the umbrella theme, since it was a shower. Shower…rain…umbrellas…we’ve seen it a million times.…

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…

Our Dorky, Squinty, Thank You Cards

Ah, the joy of the first registry purchase. That buoyant balloon of delight…quickly burst by the realization of the need for thank you cards.Since we took the fancy schmancy train to Invitesville via letterpress, we wanted to do something more casual and relaxed for our thank yous. And personalized. Personalized is the name of the game. So in a spin off of a Martha idea,…

No Gift, But Still A Big Thank You!

February 1st, 2008 @ 2:25 pm by Mrs. Magnolia

Like just about every other bride out there, I have a big ol’ list of thank you notes to write. After being married three weeks, I’ve barely made a dent in that list.

However, earlier this week, I did sit down to write notes to several people who didn’t actually give us a gift…vendors. I have vendor reviews coming soon, but I can preface those by…

Thank You’s: Etiquette Woes

I (finally) ordered our thank you cards! Mr. Eggplant and I were married on October 20th, so it looks like I just may make the two-month etiquette deadline for sending out thank you cards (that is, if I can get myself to sit down and pound them out this week ).

The Massacre

I have a confession to make: I had my most bridezilla moment (at least to date… knock on wood!). I suppose it’s good to have gotten it out of the way, but nonetheless, there was a bit of a debacle last weekend…

It all started out very innocently. Mr. Peppermint and I were gocco-ing our Thank You cards. We agreed we wanted to get that out…
