I have been so productive on the wedding front as of late (the school and job hunting fronts are other issues all together). This week, I created all of my bridal shower thank you cards to match my invitation suite (which I will post once I blacken my last name out on the mock-up), got my make-up trial done, bought my hot pink clutch (love!), AND finished my card box. Enjoy the pictures below...
Ta da! My very simple, yet classy and sassy, thank you cards for all of my bridal showers. FI and I will use different thank you cards for our gifts from the wedding, but I wanted to do something cute for the bridal showers. I like how they turned out.
Pardon the strange face and double chin that is almost always a result of me taking pictures of myself up close. However, I really like how RJ did my make-up for my trial. I wanted a smoky eye, which he accomplished using deep browns and golds to compliment my blue eyes. I never thought of doing it that way, but I love the result.
Ah, the piece de resistance! I came across the hot pink clutch of my dreams as I was leaving my make-up trial, and bought it on impulse and lust alone. I absolutely love it and will have to restrain myself from using it prior to the wedding.
And, last but not least, my DIY card box. I really like how this turned out. Cutting the drop-box slit and the bottom out of the paper mache boxes was a major PITA, but it was well worth it. The only thing I wish I had done differently was to spray the inside of the damask print box black because you can see the cardboard inside through the slit. I doubt people will be paying that much attention to it when they slip their card in the slot, but it might bug me a little because I'm anal like that. Maybe I'll attempt spraying the inside, but that'd be some serious risky business.
