My first thought was to do a Shutterfly book for my guest book and alternate pages with photos of us and blank pages for signatures. That was all fine and good until I came across this beauty… The Wedding Tree - (Ours will not say Our Family Tree at the top) I work as a teacher. My grade level dean is the former art teacher at our school. I am going to purchase the canvas, brushes, and paint and he is going to paint a tree, our names, and our wedding date onto the canvas. I am going to create a cute little sign that says “Leaf us your fingerprint and sign your name” along side v... |

Tina submitted this awesome guest book, using her engagement pictures and her guests’ good wishes! Instructions: I created a photobook of our engagement photos on Blurb.com. Each page included a photo of us on the left and a number on the right. The number represented an anniversary and was laid out in the circle pattern from our monogram. I used my gocco printer to print the different images/designs from our paper products onto oval scallop cards from Paper Source. I printed two sets of the numbers 1-50 in our fonts for the day on 8.5″X11″ paper. I used a 2″ circle shape punch to m... |
