Birthday Invitation

Hey Everyone!

     First, I'd like to say that Cristina is feeling under the weather so her blogoversary will be postponed to next week. I am not going to remove my post because I already have comments for the givewaway. The winners will just be chosen after her blogoversary week is finished! :)

My daughter's birthday is a little over than two weeks away! I can't believe it. The majority of her decor is finished I just need to put the final touches on some things. When I first designed her invitation I was a little worried that it was too much for how many I had to make (19!). Then I had to create one at the last minute and it's actually pretty easy! Hooray for easy. :)


I love this and the colors. I printed the party details on vellum and underneath on the yellow part reads:

The fun has only just begun
look out world im turning one!

All of the paper is from Papertrey Ink. I used Raspberry Fizz, Orange Zest and Harveset Gold. The fringe is what will be through out my daughters party. I used the fringe scissors by Martha Stewart. The colored raffia can be found at this Etsy shop.

It was tough creating a Cinco De Mayo theme for a baby and not have it look cheesy or stereotypical of our heritage but it's been fun. I have already had a cousin tell me an invitation just wasnt needed with Facebook available. I told him to shut up that it is always nice to have an invitation on the fridge or memo spot to keep that reminder. He just doesnt understand craftiness lol.

Thanks for visiting!
