Save the Dates
GTModerncreations.com
So i had an idea to make my save the dates in to Boarding Passes...since i am having a Destination wedding i thought it would fit perfectly, i brought the idea to Gaby (GTModerncreations.com) and he went above and beyond what i expected... when he said "i would like to make them 3D" i looked at him like he was insane! lol

but as soon as he showed me the end product i was Amazed! they were absolutely gorgeous!!! i put on the 3D glasses and i swear i thought the limes were going to roll right off the page! lol i have never seen anything like this and my guest agreed... i kept getting phone calls and emails on how orignal and unique the were. Yay!

The boarding pass pockets were printed on silk paper, and the boarding passes were printed on shimmery green linen paper. The result was beautiful and fun.
Also check out the wedding website I created for them incorporating their theme and colors

let me know what you think

DIY Wedding
Proudest DIY Project Yet!!!
Ok ladies so I have to share this!!!! I am just so proud of the DIY Project!

So here is the story, I wanted my wedding shoes to 1.) wow everyone and 2.) Pop out in my wedding pictures, so I started web surfing and fell in love with these Purple glitter Christian Louboutin Peeptoe pumps only problem was they were $300.00!!!!! i am on a strict budget so I had to figure something out….

So I decided to make my own shoes, I went to Amazon.com order fabric glue ($3.00) purple glitter ($8.00) and then went to my local thrift store…yes thrift store and found the cutest peep-toe shoes ($7.00) I put it all together and this is the end result… this is EXACTLY what I wanted!!!

I went from almost spending $300.00 on a pair of shoes to spending $18.00 and to be completely honest with you mine are 100% better!

Tell me what you think. ?
