Well lets just say there were quite a few imperfections that would not have been there if I had done them myself. Now donâ€™t get me wrong, mine are not perfect, but I am very aware of every mistake I can usually cover or incorporate it.

OK, Iâ€™m going to get back on the ball. Thanks again for all of your kind words and encouragement.

I think you guys are the only ones that really understand.

Ha! While I'm so glad my girls helped me out on my projects, I still look back at the gluedots on my menus and wish they were placed perfectly centered.. ah! bridezilla!! Maybe they can help stuff and mail or something like that instead.

I feel so much better! Iâ€™m going to start working on them again. I really donâ€™t have anyone helping me with my wedding and my sisters donâ€™t even know if they are going to go with meâ€¦ so they are not being very supportive at the moment and I really not in the mood to nag them . I think I just needed some support, and you guys have helped me more than you know.

Amy, your right doing twenty at a time and taking a break has been working for me. Ok, Iâ€™m getting back on track.

Iâ€™m so picky its horrible, Iâ€™m sitting here thinking â€œok what can they do that cant be messed upâ€¦â€ I guess I could live with putting the invitations in the envelops and addressingâ€¦â€¦ (I even cringe on that). Iâ€™m horrible.

Thanks so much. I have a scrapbooking program that I use a lot, but if you have access to Microsoft word clipart they have tons of stuff. If you canâ€™t find anything, PM me what types of clipart you need and I can try to look for stuff that you might be able to use and send it to you. Let me know..

I don't think you should stress yourself out by thinking of staring over, these are perfect. Maybe you could do one step at a time, like doing all the embosing over one weekend and then all the punch outs the next. Good luck.

The problem with the embossing is, they all turn out different. I add a layer of the gold, shake, then dust it with pink then heat emboss. They have been turning out how I like so far, but you never know, especially since my next inkpad is a different brand (you know how it is).

I love embossing and I thought about doing that on my invites, but I ran into the same problem you just described... in consistancy. My FI is WAY too anal for everyone to not be perfect!
