Sarah

I've seen precut circles (white and clear) at office max.

Ann, baby monograms will be on the site soon!

2/21/09: Update- my blog is finally updated! I have added almost 15 new projects from the last couple of months including some new boarding pass & passport designs, menus, programs, and more! www.sproulliedesigns.blogspot.com And.... drumroll please.... I'm launching a new website this week! Stay tuned 11/23/08: Wow, I haven't edited this in a long time! Just thought I'd post some newer stuff: I try to keep my blog somewhat updated, so for the latest and greatest (and also some inspiration if you want to DIY!) go to www.sproulliedesigns.blogspot.com To order a monogram, please visit my website monograms page by clicking here. In order to streamline the monogram ordering process and make sure I don't miss any monogram requests, please submit your request through my website order form instead of requesting in a thread or PMing me here. Please put your BDW screen name in the comments section of your order. Why do I need a monogram, you ask? Monograms are used to personalize your wedding or event. You can carry a common theme throughout your Save the Dates, Invitations, Favors, Menus, Letters, Decor and Thank Yous. Here are a few recent designs... I'll try to update here frequently: Edited 4/9/09.... Wow- I hadn't updated this in a while... here's some newer stuff :

Jessica you need to post your kitchen here- it's so cute! I can't wait to see what else you do with your house Jen, holy crap- sweet renovation! That looks like a TON of work! Rebecca, I Love your stairs. Stairs are one of my favorite things in a house for some reason. My house has 4 flights of stairs

The ones I've tried so far are sadly lacking! Our colors are more like 084 ans 127, I think, but it's hard to tell when they're not next to each other!! Thanks so much!!!! I'll do one for you, but do me a favor and go to my website & fill out the order form... it's much easier for me to keep track of what I still need to do that way You can pick a different one if you want- I'll do a freebie for you. Quote: Originally Posted by Alipires1 Ohhhh!!! I want to hire you!! I have some ideas. I'll PM you tomorrow with info. I can pay you through paypal. What could the cost be to create maybe 5 different designs. I have all the pricing info on my website, I'll do one free and each additional is $2. I'm also open for suggestions for new monogram styles so if you have something in mind feel free to let me know... Quote: Originally Posted by pryzeless I don't have that. Do you have another program that I might be able to get? Thanks. There are instructions on here for making monograms with powerpoint (just search for monogram instructions) but you can't get a hi-res image that way, but it's a start. Some people also make them with Photoshop.

lol that's funny... yeah just post what color you want after you can view the chart

Could you make the green palm tree more of the turquoise shade like the ones in what you made Kelly? I love it! Abbie- go to my website color chart and pick the turquoise you want... http://sproulliedesigns.webs.com/rgb%20codes%20web.pdf

I use LumaPix Fotofusion. It's just the same image resized, recolored, and layered.

You can use them for invitations, OOT bags, letterhead, hang tags, postfards, etc. Basically any misc paper project

That's beautiful Amy!

Welcome... Happy planning!

If anyone is bored tonight and feels like creating one for me I'd be oh so very very happy!! Even though it seems so easy, I seem to be creatively challenged on this diy! So, only if you're bored looking for something to do, my info is: First Names: Kelly and Jonas Last Initial: C Location: Negril, Jamaica Wedding Date: May 7, 2008 Wedding Color: Turquoise (like a bright blue turquoise) I'd love to have a palm tree incorporated, but I'm definately not picky at this point!

Figured it would be easy since you both just wanted palm trees

omg Rachelle I LOVE that! That's totally the type of wood we have in mind. I'm hoping that will be next year's project. Her house is beautiful!

Very cute!

Ooh I don't know how you teachers do it. I would go crazy.

Welcome to the forum Michael! You have so many great experiences. How cool that you've been to all those places! I'm sure you'll be a valuable resource to our brides/grooms. Cool!

Yup, that's the great thing about michigan Christine- the economy is crappy so we all have big houses! lol I love my table Michelle- it's really tall and expands to seat 8, and is square.

Wow Alyssa- that looks absolutely beautiful! Arizona is one of those places i've always wanted to visit. I'll have to remember this thread for reference next year- I think we're going to road trip next summer. Thanks for sharing

Welcome to the forum! Happy planning!

omg I am dying laughing at the pugs... too funny!

That's totally what I want to do Rachelle- wood throughout. The problem is that the carpet was literally brand new when we bought the house, so it's kinda hard to justify ripping it out right away. Wood is definitely the long term plan. So, with that dark fireplace would you do light or dark wood? I have SUCH a hard time decorating... it's impossible for me to make decisions on stuff! Besides the fact that I have champagne taste on a beer budget. lol Yes Tammy, the tree is down. That was taken Christmas morning! Here's another one... This is from our bedroom looking down the tree: This is my living room- see, very boring decor... don't mind the mess- these were from my bro's welcome home from the Air Force party This is my dining room- the decor is boring, although I love my dining room set, and my view can't be beat! I just need some color on the walls! Got any ideas? My cousins...keeping an eye on the food table! lol
