Wedding Project-Spoiler ALERT

Hello Everyone!


What an exciting month this has been!  I had a birthday...a girls vacation...an acceptance letter...my cup runnith over and 3 more months! 


The mister and I had a Sunday off to discover just how sticky Adhesive Spray is!  We have a lot of projects still left on our to do list and this was one of them.  I am happy to say, the door hangers are half way done!  They just need a little chalk board paint and finito!  We have so many surprises in store for our guests, and I am getting more excited everyday!


So here's a few pictures!! 


31-woohoo!

I swear we will stop playing in the pool soon and come in to do wedding projects!

YAY! After 2 1/2 years and repeating 1 yrs worth of classes, I am here!






Remember the test run... 













So now we are half way there...they are dry and ready for the chalk paint!!


Off to packing and sorting! 


Happy 4th of July Everyone!! AND thank you for reading!!

The doorhangers

Early on in the wedding process we saw a post from our amazing wedding planner Kristen at Swankey Events.  She posted a favor from a wedding where the bride and groom gave out "do not disturb doorhangers."  We fell in love with it!! And then the hunting began.  I have googled and binged my way around the world wide web, and finally the creativity bug hit me today! We knew we wanted one side to be in chalk paint, because we would use any excuse to use chalk paint (it's just neat) and we thought the guests could have fun with it after the wedding.  They could leave messages for room mates, kids, or loved ones.  Then the hunt went on for card stock paper thick enough for a doorhanger.  Here is my first attempt at it:
I printed it in white and yellow...
Thin I cut the whole...
Whipped out the old chalk board paint... BTW...the first time I have ever used spray paint
Added some glue...
My first thought was to only spray a rectangle..
Umm ..yes I cut the rectangle out of my invitation printing instructions.
Who knew you need a screwdriver to open a spray can...
Ummm...I am not quitting my day job.
I just went for it...
And now time to dry...
A very bored Daisy May...
This is no fun at all..
Finished product...ok so I learned that the paint get's everywhere...I am guessing I need to tape the paper down.
The back side...Still a little wet but writable!!!
