They are very sweet MC. A lot of work for you methinks. She is lucky to have such a good friend in you.

Chrissie, if your daughter is looking around for wedding stuff, suggest she looks at the stuff that the well known Hobbies and craft chain of shops do. I got loads of things to make my son's wedding special from there at very good prices.

Some of the prices charged for the extras are ridiculous. I saved them hundreds for the wedding favours, macaron and place settings. And as for the rainbow cake, it would have cost them several thousand pounds. I did it for nupence. :lol:

Chrissie yes you can say Hobby Craft just so long as you dont own or work for the company  :). I do find a lot of their stuff quite expensive and get most of my craft items via the internet.
Staffies are softer than you think.

Yes, some of their stuff can be expensive but they do a budget range of envelope boxes, favour boxes, cards and plain card too.

 I did a lot of internet searching but ended up at Hobby craft. The packets of ribbon bows were a good price too as were the little ribbon roses.

... but today I cut mats and framed them.

It was harder than I thought and the mats are far from perfect but I'm pleased :D
