Birthday Invitations

I decided to get a jump start on Hollis' Birthday invitations. He party is almost a month away, but with all the other things that I have to make and our 2 trips to Arkansas Children's Hospital this month, I know that I am going to be short on time. This is what I have picked out as the party theme. Nothing real fancy, but I liked the colors and both Damien and I agreed on it. That's MAJOR! LOL The colors reminded me of Stamin Up's Kiwi Kiss, Riding hood Red, and Brocade Blue. I know it doesn't actually have a sail boat on it, but it's close enough.

I used the Big Deal Alpha and cut out the letters and used dimensionals to give it a little "pop". The sail boat comes from the Nursery Necessities set. I used the 3/4" circle punch to make the waves in the Brocade Blue paper. I used more dimensionals to add depth to the waves. The boat and sail are done in Kiwi Kiss, Riding hood Red, and Chocolate Chip ink. The card base is in Riding hood Red. There isn't a ton of difference in the Riding hood Red and the Ruby Red. I think the Riding hood Red is just a smidgen brighter than the other. I like them both, therefore, it's just another reason to make a purchase.

Now I just have to buy all the plates, napkins, and balloons. Have to figure out what sort of snacks I'm going to serve and I have to make his cake and cupcakes for the guests. I always seem to pull it off, I don't know how, but I do. I think it's because I have Damien and he loves to decorate cakes with me. I might just delegate and give him the task of the cake and cupcakes. Yeah, that's sounds pretty good to me.
