working.

My first pochette announcement!! I was so excited to venture out and try a new invitation/announcemnt. The idea was fabulous and so simple (in my head) and then the "punching began". As you can see in the picture I use a small tool, that I was soooo excited about getting and still love btw, to "punch these slits in the pochette to hold a picture or whatever. Seem simple enough, punch, place picture, fold, tie ribbon and throw on a backing for added decor...well a 1/2 hour later while I am STILL punching the slits this fabulous idea became work...ugh! Long story short I am waiting for one more piece to arrive before I can show the completed product, and I know I will have a lot more of these to do...but for now I am happy to be done "punching" for the day :)
