Angry Birdthday Party

Hi friends!  I hope you are all doing well!  We are doing ok.  Today was Parker's first day of school and he did ok.  He cried a bit but it was over pretty quick.  I know because I was spying on him from the window.  Brady on the other hand was a MESS!  He was sobbing and saying we couldn't leave Parker there by himself, he kept whimpering that he missed Parker, and then kept saying that we need to pick him up.  I told Brady that he could buy Parker a special present to let him know we were thinking about him while he was at school and then he calmed down.  Parker had a great day!

About a month and a half ago, we had a birthday party for the boys and I never shared the crafts that were made for the occasion so I decided to do that now.  :)  We used free clip art and templates that we found online.

Here's the invitation.  Dustin made them on the computer and we printed them out as 4x6 photos and handed them out.

Here are the favor bags.  I got this template from Tip Junkie found HERE.  

And here are the thank you notes that I only finished writing a few of.  ( I was still super sick at that point.)

Have a great day, friends!

Deanna's Bridal Shower Invites

Hi friends! I hope you are having a fabulous day! I'm having a really rough morning. We had yet another hard drop off at school with Brady today and I'm just bummed out. I was planning on trying to get some work done but I'm SO sad right now. I think I'll be able to get things done after we go pick him up and I get to see that he ended up having a great time at school.

Today, I'm sharing the card I made for my sister in law, Deanna, for her bridal shower invites. She's getting married next month! :) She's super sweet and I was glad to do these for her. I made about 32 of these but I forgot to photograph them all together so you get to see ONE. But you get the idea.

Deanna choose mustard, black and white for her colors and she's using a damask theme. I decided to make the invites match the colors and theme. The background was made with a Hero Arts background stamp and some Distress Ink in Scattered Straw. I used an EK Success punch for the edge and Spellbinders Labels 8 for the sentiment. I added ribbon and a gem to embellish. She wanted this pretty simple and I think I achieved both an elegant yet refined look here.

Have a great day everyone!
