DIY Contest Finalists

January 11, 2009 · Posted in diy, escort cards, invitations, programs by ami elizabeth

OK, first of all, I’m finally beginning to recover from the stress of the last-minute vow renewal preparations. So I apologize that we have taken until now to pick our top 10 DIY projects to send to our fabulous judges, Emily from Once Wed, the girls from Southern Weddings, Kathryn from Snippet & Ink, Jenna from That Bride, and Maria from Ritzy Bee. These amazing bloggers will vote on the winner, who will receive a $100 gift card to Amazon.com. It was so difficult to determine a top 10, because all of the entries were so unique and fantastic. In the spirit of fair competition, each entrant was limited to one of their projects landing in the top 10.

Without further adieu, our contest finalists, in no particular order:

Poster-Style Programs

Fall Centerpieces and Place Cards

Bridal Shower Scrapbook

Gocco Thank You Notes

Ring Pillow Palette

Baseball Ticket Invites

If you want to help sway the judges, pick your favorites in the comments!

Did you guys make the “only one finalist per person” rule so that all of my projects wouldn’t hog the top spots? Ha, Ha. Thanks for picking me as a finalist! What a compliment!

Not to vote against myself (if I even can vote), but the embroidery hoodies are pretty sweet.

This is a hard one to choose… I think i vote for the baseball tickets… those are just SO cool and I could see myself doing them… Although the other DIY projects are pretty awesome too :)

All of them are so awesome..the bridesmaid hoodies are especially impressive but my vote would go towards the baseball tickets. They inspired my fiance into doing something similar for his bachelor party!
