Thank You Parasol Pics...

We decided to send photo cards for our thank you's.  (For those wondering why you haven't received a thank you, it's because they are on order with vistaprint.com.)  You can see how I made the thank you parasol here. 

I did a photo collage using three of our wedding photos on one side, four photos of the boys on the other side.  I got an excellent deal through vistaprint, ordering 200 thank you photo cards & envelopes for around $50.  Here's our Thank You shots we had to choose from, one may be coming to a mailbox near you...

Few Pics...

These are not professional photos, just some taken by friends & family.  The pics taken by our photographer, Angela, should be posted to her website some time this week.  You can view them at www.angelapiersonphotography.com

This is the sand ceremony with the kids, thank you parasol for our thank you cards, and our wedding party.   

DIY Thank You Parasol

My latest project is a photo prop.  This is the parasol that I saw on Bride on a Budget

I used Microsoft Publisher to print Thank You in 750pt Edwardian Font. (Kristin, I still think it's because you are team Edward, just sayin').  Then I cut out the letters & lightly taped them to the back of the parasol.

No lie people.  This was not an easy task.  I traced very gently with a pencil so I didn't punch through the parasol.  Next was tracing with a black sharpie.  If I ever make another one of these I would skip that step.  The marker bleeds through the paper very easily.

Next step was paint, just simple, black, acrylic paint.  I used one of the boy's art paint brushes with a fine tip.  Again this was a tedious project...  The end result looks like this.  View our photos with parasol here.
