My guests loved the invitations! Or perhaps they were polite. That said, the encouragement gave me that extra push to start a few more projects: programs, thank you notes, take over the world.

| Bridal shower thank you cards |
This is our program. I am still feeling kind of self-conscious about it because I think it needs a bow or a rhinestone or something. Rhinestones have rescued a few of my failed projects. I wish I could be a sheet of rhinestones. As you can see, I drew a picture of Mike and me. I then scanned it into the computer where I had the free reign to alter its color and add some more frills to my dress on photoshop. In the end, I think I could have added the frills by hand with the same amount of effort. But at least no ink was wasted! I (somewhat brilliantly) figured out a way to print the drawing onto my purple paper (which is starting to become kind of annoying as it just won't run out) with my printer. But then I had to wait a full 24 hours for them to dry. Then I decided I wanted to illustrate the rest of the bridal party. While this was amusing for like 2 days, I am starting to think that I'm a little weird...

| Here is a little preview of the thank you cards. I decided to make them all different. I love Sigmund the Pigmund and Platelet the Penguin wearing bowties. Maybe you can't tell but I put *~*RHINESTONES *~* on their bowties. |
And to think , it all started out with my humble linoleum "printing shop" in our little apartment in Pittsburgh....
Hope you enjoyed that sampling of my wedding-related art projects.
