Invites

Hey!  Well, T's birthday weekend went off AWESOME!!!  He had so many great friends and family who came to celebrate with him, and well, my baby is a YEAR old!!!!  (drying tears, fixing makeup...Ok, I'm good)

Where are the pictures, you ask?!  Well, they're on my mom and sister's cameras!!!  As soon as I get pictures of the whole party, I'll show you, but until then, here's a little tutorial on T's invites that I made!!!

 Since we had an Eric Carle themed party, I thought it would be fun to include his artistic style in the details.  After I made and printed the invitations, I prepared the envelopes.  In Eric Carle style, I painted different color paper (although he usually used tissue paper).  I then had T color on them, for a bit of a personal touch :)

 Next, I made a template that would fit inside of the envelope, and cut all of the colored pieces to size.

 Next, I glued them in, and stuffed them!!!  I think it added a colorful touch when the recipient opened the invitation!!!

I was pleased with how they turned out, and loved the personalized look of his card!!!  I even used some of Carle's letters for the invite, and it turned out great!!!

Do you have any other invitation or stationary ideas?!  I'd love to hear!
