Programs HALT!

Oh wedding Gods...I am so glad you have such a twisted sense of humor! DH and I went back to Michael's today (one-hour, one way), planning on returning the unused paper from the invites and the spray adhesive, in exchange for a different kind if paper, and more card stock for our programs.

Voila! NO cardstock.

(Sighs)

After some mild huffing, puffing, and pouting, I re-hatched another program plan. I'm (hoping) they prove to be just as easy, if not easier. The new plan is to make a modern book fold, with no fold. Instead the edges will be exposed. I chose to do this, because it gave me more option for my paper size, and choices. We picked up this amazing fabric-like red paper, and 6x6 square cardstock cards (I had to settle for white because apparently, ivory is too difficult to come in jumbo packs—which we’ll be using for the final project, if we make it that far, heehee). We chose 6x6 dimensions, because I can get 4 cover pages out of the 12x12 fabric paper. To attach the book together, we’re using black ribbon. The stuff we picked up today was thin, nothing-special-about-it-ribbon, but it was only $1.

So now, I’m playing around with them. But I can’t do too much because my $2 hole puncher literally snapped in half on my first use. I guess that’s what I get for being cheap!! DH said he’d pick one up for me at the PX tomorrow so I can continue my craftiness.

Now, if only our stamps from Zazzle would get here, then I could send out the invites…
