My fiance actually drew the picture below- so it means alot to us.
We took the origanal to Staples to get them copied. My original plan was to just send them out as a card, but we looked at them and thought that they needed something more. So we came up with adding a 'border' to it, and making it into a magnet. So I went to Michael's with my future mother-in-law and we left with a HUGE arts and crafts project. I LOVE arts and crafts- but it was more than I has first thought it was going to be.
We had to get all of the supplies, the brown matting, a matt cutter, and magnets. Learning how to use the cutter and perfect cutting the matts took some time. I am a busy lady so it has taken me a lot longer then anticipated to get these done. I am working on them- they are definitely time consuming.
I have to cut the matts, they came as a huge board - so I have to cut them down to their size and then cut out the middle. Then I have to put the picture on, and then add the Magnet to the back. I bought sheets of magnets, so I have to cut each sheet to fit the size of the Save-the-Date.
Below is the final product. Let me know what you think!
Now I just have to get the envelopes and label them! I will tell you this, we were going to do our own invitations. But we will be ordering them within the next couple of weeks, that is definitely not a project I want to do on my own! :)
