My Save the Dates are here...

and ready for the Save the Date Fairy Godmother to assemble! I ordered the magnet part (on the left of the picture) from Creative Montage, and they arrived on Monday. After realizing my original idea was not going to work, I had to re-vamp my idea.  I went to the Paper Source, where I purchased Jupiter Red Stardream cards, flat cream cards, and went to work!  It took about an hour to come up with a design that would work and to format it on the computer....

These are going to take a while to put together! I don't think I realized how much work it was going to be.  It's all right, though.  I like crafting and it's just assembly at this point, so I'll get through it. It helped that I got a head start on little things like this, because I feel like I have time and am not rushing. I hope to have them finished by the end of the weekend......I have the cards all printed, it's just a matter of sticking all the cards together and stuffing envelopes.  I highly recommend the Xyron adhesive! It comes in a handy little dispenser and reeaally sticks! You don't get much of it, though, so I've had to conserve a bit!

 Here they are- sorry about the smudges for Internet safety:

This isn't the best picture ( a smidge crooked, I'd say! ), but gives you the general idea of what they look like. Oh, and I decided that instead of the two rhinestones around the date, I am putting just one next to the little poem instead.

 Thank you to Creative Montage for designing the magnets!
