paper source outing : wedding favor workshop

This weekend, Samara attended a wedding favor workshop at the Paper Source with one of her favorite brides from 2008, Michelle.

Leslie, the fabulous instructor showed us the various ways of using different shaped paper cutouts to make amazing wedding favor boxes. To design our favor boxes, we used everything from beautiful ribbon, rubber stamping, glitter glue to embossing to make our lovely creations.

Look at the fabulous things we made...
