Sometimes you have to craft for yourself...

Sometimes you have to stop worrying about your business and take a moment to remember why you enjoy crafting so much to begin with. This weekend, I decided to take a little break from being "Over The Moon Gifts" and focus on being a DIY Bride.
I found this awesome scrapbook on sale at Michaels for $3.00 and it just so happened to be in my wedding colors! I couldn't NOT buy it so I repurposed it as a guest book.
I pulled out my trusty Cricut and added our name and wedding date. My intentions are to have guests sign a scrapbook page that I will add to this book and make a complete scrapbok of our special day. I will be posting more pics as it comes together!!

    Wonderful idea and nicely executed. I wish I had had that kind of ingenuity when I was planning my own wedding.

    I couldn't agree more. We get so caught up in other aspects of this that we forget to enjoy ourselves. I think our work suffers when this happens. The spark is lacking.

    I agree, and nicely said. It takes me a long time to keep a piece of jewelry for myself. Then I realized really I own every piece. So why not keep a few.
