Oooh love the moc invitations! I want to do the pocket idea too, and create a cute little pack for the guests

By the way I was in Wilkinson's today and they have cutest stationary in you wedding colours with butterflys on and lads of storage - was thinking for your wedding planning? I bought a little notebook to use to write my trip report this October

 

[MainStMandy]

Haha - Hope you don't mind!!!

Lol I don't mind

Cute dress!! And I love the mock invitation design! I really admire you girls that are making your invites... I wish I could trust myself to be crafty enough. Sadly, I don't! So I'll just admire your craftiness/creativity instead!

 

[Pirate's Princess]

I love the invite mock up. Very pretty. I wish I was that creative. And that dress is too cute

 

[torsie24]

Awww, thanks Samantha and Anjanette, trust me, I am really not that creative! I certainly can't trust myself to do any of the cutting and sticking that the inviters need, and I don't think I can even risk writing peoples names on (might get my Mum to do it as she has beautiful handwriting!)

But I think if you got photoshop (I only have Photoshop Elements) you'd surprise yourself, it's fun to play around with, there are loads of online tutorials, and best of all, unlike paper, if you don't like something you can just click 'undo'!!

Last night I was busy making a guide book to go out with our invtitations. Here are the first 3 pages so far.

Right, this is the cover, it matches all of our wedding stationary and is awaiting a photo from our trip!

This page is also awaiting a photo! Lol. I want the speech bubbles to be by each of us. Might try and get someone to take a geeky photo of us waving 'hi'!

This page could get me arrested for plagiarism were it an essay, hopefully as its not, and as I'mplanning on suggesting my guests buy the giudebook I stole it from I should be ok!!

 

[MainStMandy]

WOW!! That looks great!!!

 

[torsie24]

WOW!! That looks great!!!

Aww, thank you. I'm a touch proud of it myself.

 

[Shyvioletisme]

wow...that looks so good!! and that's such a cool idea as well!!

 

[ghoulish delight]

Your guide book is such a great idea! It looks wonderful so far! That picture of Walt and Mickey you put in it is precious.

 

[BecBennett]

That newsletter is great! Any chance you can PM me the instructions for those swirls?

Thanks

Oh! BTW, looks like DF and I are going to aim for March 2nd, 2011 for our wedding date, so we'll be there at the same time!

 

[torsie24]

Sure! PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you the instructions and links once I'm at work. I have a Mac with PS Elements, so it might be a bit different for you if you have a PC.

 

[BecBennett]

Thanks, I just sent you a PM

Hi hun I think you did mention but I cant remeber where :S on what program did you design all your brilliant creations on?

x x x

 

[shippedtosea]

I've been poking around your journal for a few days so I thought i'd say hi! I really like your invitations/guest book. and the dress you think you are buying!
My DF is from London so its nice to see pictures of familiar places on your journal.

 

[torsie24]

Thank you. Where abouts is your DF from? I was born in Greenwich and then raised in South East London.

 

[malibustacey]

i was born in greenwich hospital! im guessing thats where you was born!? where about did you grow up in SE london? (have i asked you this before?!)

Your a SE girl like meeeee heheeh (not really a good thing tho!?)

 

[torsie24]

Yup Greenwich hospital for me too!! I spent my first couple of years in Plumstead and then the rest in Welling. Super glad I've moved now though, as when I visit Welling it seems like such a ghetto! Lol. Jack used to be really scared visiting me when we started going out as he's a proper country mouse. Now I'm used to Surrey life I understand why!
