Claire's 1st Birthday Invite

Here's what I came up with for Claire's little birthday get together. I'm going for a French inspired theme (yes, I know French fries are not really French...but they are cute). The fry box is my favorite.

Cowboy Birthday Invites

Here's the invitation for Brigham and Charlotte's combined birthday party coming up this week. Party details to soon follow.

Birthday Invitations for Lucy

This year for Lucy's birthday,  we're going for a dress-up/Fancy Nancyesque themed celebration. Here are the invitations that have been sent out. 

The first one is a small lunch party with Grandma and a some girl cousins Lucy's age.

The little dolls, clothes, accessories come off of the page and stick together like a little

paper doll

that you can play with when you're done with your invitation.

The second one is a party for the whole family a couple of days before Lucy's birthday. We are going to have parfaits like Fancy Nancy has with her family (plus Lucy likes ice cream much better than cake).

This little doll invitation has multiple changes of clothes as well, with party information on each dress.

P.S. The dolls I printed weren't in color, so I used watercolor pencils to paint them all.

Another Bridal Shower Invitation...

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.

Moving To-Do List

This is just a simple idea that we did for a few of our friends before we move. It provided us one last opportunity to spend time with them. We'll miss you all!
