Well, I’ve been working on invitations for the last couple weeks. And, I planned to adhere the masterpeice (the main invitation my friend Michelle brought to life) on a piece of gorgeous black linen cardstock.
So… in preparation to bust-a-move on these invites… I pre-cut the black linen cardstock during my lunch break last week Tuesday. Well tonight, while I was at Kinkos talking to them about the print job, I realized that I had cut the background piece about a 1/4 inch short. So. Basically. The invitation and the background are exactly the same length. If I could have reared my own ugly head and cut its throat, I would have!
What a waste of time cutting those things. A waste of money on paper. If I had voiced the obsenities going through my head I woulda been thrown in jail.
On the drive home all I could think of was:
GRRR… Snarl… SNAP.
And, that wasn’t the half of it. I’ll tell you about my print debacle tomorrow. Too bitter about the paper to divulge tonight.
Grrr. Snarl. Snap.
I’m tired. I’m bitter. It’s ugly.
Stumble It!

Well, if you haven’t chewed them up totally yet, you could always think about it looking like a widescreen movie on a regular tv (black bars on 2 sides) rather than being framed.

It must be something about Detroit weddings and invitations because I had a profanity filled printing debacle too. My invitations ended up being mailed a month late but at least they finally got out. I’m sure it’ll work out in the end, but believe me I know how frustrating it feels right now.
