Bridal Shower Invite: New York, New York

I'm not really a card maker, but I did think these bridal shower invitations turned out pretty cute for my level of scrapbooking expertise. I like how they look like mini newspapers. I found an image of the first volume of the New York Times, made it smaller and then copied it onto some translucent silver paper. Folding them made me feel like I was 10 again getting the papers ready for my route. My fingers got black, too.

Super darling and creative! Now I get to read your plane tips! I think we get to stay in MD this year for Christmas (it's Jared's year :P), but we'll be traveling over Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

These are really cute! Do you have a special program with different fonts?

I bought a few fonts from LetteringDelights.com, but there are a lot of free font sites where you can download them.

I love it! Your ideas totally inspire me to get creative. Did you come up with that idea ? I haven't seen that one before. Great work with the travel prep- you are one with it mom :)

Those are so cute! I just might have to steal that idea from you in a few months. My sister is getting married the first part of next year and so I'm sure I will be throwing her a shower at some point. Very creative!!
