Birthday Invite

Here is what I came up with my son's birthday invitation this year!! He wanted Star Wars but I didn't really want to invest time trying to find a Star Wars set (if there even is one) so I found this super cute Space Changito set and knew that's what I wanted to use. The "party" saying came from TAC's Celebration Invitation set. I used my watercolor crayons for the color on the monkey/spaceship. The stars were heat embossed with silver powder. Added just the right amount of sparkle for a "boy" invitation!!

I also used this same Changito space set and colors for his Birthday card too!! Gotta get more than one use out of it, right? That is how I justified buying it.....other than the fact that it can be used for lots of boy cards in the future.

Some card sketch cards..........finally!!!!!

I HAVE been doing something these days.....just not posting here!!! I wanted to share a couple of card sketch cards I have done using Heather's Monday card sketches. I think I've said before that if you haven't tried one of these for inspiration yet....you are missing out!! Here's one I created for my husbands' birthday in October using the sketch from October 20. I used the Changito baseball monkey.....just love those monkeys!!













This next one was made using Heather's sketch from September 15. I also used those darn cute Changito monkeys again!!!











Now on to a couple of cards NOT using the sketches....This was made for my daughter's birhtday. I used TAC Mimi paper....the colors are just so yummy. The stamp set is from Inkadinkadoo. I have used it sooo many times for birthdays recently!!






This card was made for our 3year old neighbor since he is so into Planet Heros this year. This was a clear set I originally bought at Archiver's quite a while ago. I love how this turned out....FAR OUT!!
Well, I know this is a long post. You know, I may even have more things I've made lately to post too!!
