DIY Wedding Invitations
I don’t know if you know, but I have a feeling you won’t be surprised: I used to be a diehard scrapbooker. Creative Memories (the MaryKay of scrapbooking) became popular back in the mid-nineties and shortly thereafter, my 11-year-old life savings was spent on paper cutters, fun scissors, tape runners, and stickers.
