My pocketfolds....

I just did something that I may regret later on.

Let's rewind.

Last week, after finalizing my invite design, I went to order my pocketfolds and envelopes. If you have no idea what a pocketfold is....look here....

Pocketfolds allow you to have your actual invite and any other "extras" (i.e. RSVP card, map/directions card) in one place, nicely organized.

So I went online and tried to remember which place I had ordered my samples. Turns out I ordered samples from a couple of places. And turns out the one pocketfold I really liked (more the color than anything else) was NOT the one I had designed the invite for. See I had accidentally designed using another pocketfold which had different measurements. WHOOPS.

I refused to panic so I just chose a similar color hoping it would look good. The pocketfolds and envelopes came in yesterday. And. I. Hate. The. Color. Last night I told myself to suck it up. Today, I told myself to somehow get what you want.

Enter Google. And "diy pocketfolds." Turns out, with the help of a scoring board, making pocketfolds is actually really easy. So I went on the site with the color I liked and instead of ordering the pocketfolds that won't fit my invites, I ordered the same paper they use to make their own pocketfolds in the color I love.

Enter my soon-to-be headache. I'll be hand-making 60 pocketfolds.

But right now, I'm kind of really excited. I'm starting to like this crafting stuff and I think I can actually do it.

But that's right now. :)

P.S. I'm returning the other stuff I hate and this new project is actually coming out cheaper! Of course, that doesn't include the cost of my labor....but that's another story....
