Tarheel Stamper - More Wedding Photos

Just thought I would add some more photos of the wedding reception and decorations.  We haven't seen the official photographer's photos yet.  These were taken by my brother-in-law. 

Remember you can click on the photos to have them open up in a larger view.

Used these bird nests on the wedding party, food and drink tables



Pretty cake!  Used Two Step Bird punched pieces sprinkled around tables.

Another close up shot of the pillow box



Table in the foyer.  I put some of the grapevine balls on a stick with the birds on top in the floral arrangement.

This is the centerpiece on the wedding party table.  I found the bird on pedestal ceramic pieces at Michael's for 1/2 off and they were only $3.99 at the regular price.  Two for $3.99 isn't bad.

I will be back tomorrow with some more photos of the wedding.  Maybe some of the ideas I used will help someone when they are planning a wedding or need table ideas.

Hope you have a wonderful day,

Tarheel Stamper - First Video - Sizzix Pillow Box Die Tips

I cannot believe how long it has been since I posted.  Almost one month without a post is too long!  I was very busy with wedding preparations for our oldest son and now daughter("in-law")!  Yahoo they were married Saturday March 12th.  I made the decorations for a shower, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding reception.  I had some great help from my other daughter("in-law"), my sister, and the bride's sister.  I am so thankful they helped me last week or I would never had gotten all the wedding things finished.  I will share pictures in the future, but I don't have my camera with me at the moment. 

My sweet aunt passed away early Thursday morning and we buried her yesterday.  So my past week has been a roller coaster of emotions.  The family was so kind to schedule family visitation and the funeral services for Sunday and Monday so the wedding could go on and my mother (her sister passed away) could attend the wedding.  The wedding was wonderful and some of the family told me it was a nice and needed diversion from the pain of losing a grandparent and mother-in-law.  I am thankful to know that she is with loved ones and the Lord in Heaven now. 

On to the video and enough of the personal life things for today.  I was making pillow box favors or the wedding rehearsal dinner and wanted to use each piece of card stock for as many pillow boxes as possible.  The video shows you how to get 4 out of one piece of card stock.  I wanted to see if I could make a video.  Please don't laugh too hard.  LOL ;-)  I hope you can get some tips out of this video.  I show the pillow box and some other tips I have learned about using the Sizzix.  I hope to make more in the future.  I used the Sixxix pillow box die from Stampin' Up!  It is so easy to make cute boxes with this.  I put 4 Robin Egg candies in each box.  The theme of the wedding was love birds.  The video is below and also on YouTube.  I have a channel titled Tarheel Stamper. 

Anyway  I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for reading all this!
