Well am I ever HAPPY its Friday! Jason and I are getting away over night-ALONE! I am so thankful to my mom for the break. Now lets pray the kids will sleep at her house.
They are pretty traumatized by Alexa being in the hospital, and me being away, so if one of us isn’t home at bed time, it really throws them for a tail spin.
So Im really working hard to get all myMUST DO’s – DONE asap! One of those being Noah’s 5th Birthday party planning. I think Im doing well! Still gotta design those Christmas cards………………almost there.
I LOVE planning themed party’s for my kids. FUN parties. Memorable parties. I SO enjoy it. People always say I should do event planning-um nice compliment but no thanks. I can hardly handle the 3 whopping birthdays a year!
So I decided we would have his party at our area’s “Space Center”. They provide EVERYTHING-cake and all! I just have to show up with the kids 😀 Im lovin that this time of year. Especially after the stress of Alexa’s party. AND God forbid-if she goes back in the hospital it can still be done-without poor Jason having to run around crazy-NO STRESS!
At the space center they have indoor games, and indoor rides-like bumper cars, slides, carousles, laser tag-FUN STUFF. BOY kinda stuff. And I made sure to informthe parents I NEED head counts!! SO RSVP PLEASE! So far I have gotten speedy replies and I expect a good turn out. Dont want too many though!
So I figured the theme would be “Space”. Noah liked transformers but we went with the Rocket idea-or is it a spaceship? Not entirely sure.
Point being-this week’s blogger’s challenge was to get INSPIRED by something! So I did! It was perfect timing-again.
When designing his invites I pondered the thought of a rocket stamp-didnt have any, or know any that were big enough.
I saw this Cuttlekids die cut, and wanted to use it for his invites.
Problem is, it was going to be too small. So, I decided to attempt to create my own!
Here is his invite
OK so its not exact-but its still cute isnt it?
I used my coluzzle oval-to round the top of my space ship.
Sponged the edges.
The window is just my circle punches.
For the red “wings” or whatever those things are suppose to be- I cut squares, then trimmed them on either side-4 at a time. Once I had my “template” it was quick, and easy!!!
The gray part on the bottom-that was done with my tab punch by SU!-So the invite info pulls out from the bottom tab. I just quickly printed off the info from my computer-nothin fancy. The tab “pull” was done using my brother label maker (another must have)!
So the rocket is on dimensionals, and the info easily pulls out.
For the blue-I sponged the clouds with a template I made myself! See that ——> HERE
I then stamped the “please come” from invitation builder from Paper Salon (and while linking I saw these AWESOME new clear sets by PS!!! OMG! DONT LOOK!).
The “Noah & 5” are from a set from CTMH-it was a monthly set a while ago. It was my ONLY CLEAR alpha! So I went with it. I wasnt going to ruin these by stamping a crooked name-yes I am anal!!!!!! Now I decided I need MORE CLEAR Alpha sets-know any good ones???
The rocket or whatever, is suppose to be flying off the card. This is a standard size invite-so easily mailed-but we hand delivered.
Hope you liked my inspiration piece!
Be sure to check out the other stampers creations in my Blog Challenge link on my side bar.
Feel free to play along and link it to any of us!
Tomorrow is my Sketch challenge! So I so hope you can play along.
I have been stamping like a mad woman-but alot I am unable to share-BUMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy Friday! And Happy Birthday to my good friend AMY!!! Hope it was a good one 😀
Till tomorrow.
