Wedding Center Pieces - Homemade!

For my friend Lisa's wedding, we put together these photo frames (accordian style) with some Chatterbox embossed paper, cardstock and the use of LOTS of glue and Spellbinders Nestabilities. We made 13 in all, and it took us a while, but we were both happy in the end. They looked wonderful as center pieces and each contained 10 different pictures of the happily wedded couple and their daughter.

Here we are making them (that's Lisa):

Here is a close-up, you can see the frame and the picture is embedded in between the cardstock:

Here is the table list I put together, made with wrapping paper, cardstock, ribbon, buttons, and Prima flowers:

Here is the whole thing - PS - it was the floor and table that were slanted, not the board!


Here is a blurry shot of me and my hubby at the wedding:
Here are me and my girlfriends, all from high school! Fifteen years later and we still hang out - I love that:


Thanks for popping in!
