Happy D.I.Y

Alhamdulillah, the wedding reception went smoothly. We were super busy, with sleepless nights. But we had tons of funs 'D.I.Y'ing the whole event.

We engaged our photographer friends, Mr. Jai & Mr. Yus, for the reception, and as more photos are coming in, I will share a few more soon.

Pretty photos make me happy, really really happy. Jai & Yus, thanks a lot. Job well done!

Black, red and all that glitters.

Made these for a friend not long ago. I only helped with the packaging, using most commonly found materials which are envelopes, wrapping paper, ribbons, sugar paper, tracing paper & of course doily paper.

Doily inspired wedding decoration

It's only two more weeks before my brother's wedding reception and I am still buried deep in my doily-stamping load. A few more days and I will be done. But loving the pretty paper so much, that I have to look up for more doily inspired projects. Here are some of what I have discovered & fallen in love with, thanks to the ever-so-helpful, Mr.Google.

Paper doily + brown paper bag = ?

The creative bride decided to make her own favor bags. She made them up using brown paper bags, with two types of tags. One, she used my doily tags which I have blogged here.

And below, her own handmade tags. You can read more on her blog, kamipunyarumah.blogspot.com.

Aren't they just lovely?

Doilies again

Nurul requested these doily tags for her favor bags.

She came up with the idea of using the doily as tags to match her wedding card. She is using brown paper bags and I hope these doily tags will fit them perfectly.

Thanks again Nurul!

Happy 3rd birthday Aqiel Haqiemy!

The beauty of wrapping papers

I LOVE wrapping papers. I think they are underrated. They could do wonders if you know exactly what to do with them besides wrapping gifts. Salute to the designers. Below are some of the pieces I did using 80cents wrapping papers & 20cents envelopes. If you do it yourself, these paper bags costs you almost next to nothing.
