Our invitations

Choosing our wedding invitations caused me the most frustration out of all the wedding planning. I was against making our own because I didn't want the added stress but after comparing costs we decided to go with designing and printing our own. I think they turned out pretty cute. {full list of items used below}

this silver twine took too long to wrap so i switched to AC ribbon

envelopes were full of loose confetti as well

I hand stamped our address and hand wrote our names in white ink

What we used:

printer: Epson Workforce 545 It fed through the tiny RSVP cards and prints photos really well too. I love that its wireless, and you can print from your phone. Also you can buy each ink color separately.

all paper and envelopes were purchased from Paper Source: A7 Envelopes in fuchsia, A7 note cards in eco-white,  4 Bar envelopes in fuchsia, 4 Bar note cards in gravel, oval labels in fuchsia

also from paper source: Uniball white gel pens and the glassine envelopes we used for confetti

our confetti was from Walmart (sold around Easter)

I used multiple washi tapes: Freckled Fawn Arrow Washi, Freckled Fawn  Red Heart Line Washi, October Afternoon Celebrate tape, and a few from Target

for RSVP envelopes i used this make your own stamp from Staples, and Colorbox frost white ink pad.

vintage seed packet forever stamps (I wish these Johnny Cash stamps would have been out 3 months ago!)

Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm Ribbon

Tim Holtz tiny attatcher

graphics: Arrows by The Ardent Sparrow, Serendipity alpha by CD Muckosky

Fonts: skinny jeans solid, Dead Hardy, Janda Stylish Script, In The Know, and  Weston Light Free.

Valentine's Day art

I saw this pretty DIY on A Beautiful Mess and loved the idea of using the vinyl stickers as a pattern.
So on Sunday I made this. So easy. Added bonus-- no pressure of making my letters perfect.

supplies used
press on vinyl letters from the hardware store
2" Gesso brush
Pro Art gesso
Stretched Canvas {16x20}
Primary Red Acrylic Paint
a freestyle Liquitex brush because i thought it looked fun. and now I think this brand is my new favorite.

are you making anything for Valentines day?
Look at these cute {FREE} posters you can download from Oh Happy Day. I just printed one at Staples as an engineer print. 

I made this mini book last year.

Chalkboard Kitchen and a Date

We turned Chris's kitchen into a giant chalk board. Probably not the best idea for a girl with ADHD since I can't stop drawing on everything. and we finally set a wedding date, church and venue booked. Now for the long list of everything else! {241 days to go till the hitching}

what we used:
+ Chalkboard paint
+ 1 gallon of flat black interior paint
+ Countertop paint
+ Crayola Chalk

+Ready Set Go stamps and Hero Arts Neon Ink it the top right photo
