Birthday Invitation

We are celebrating another birthday in this crazy house.  Ethan turned 9 yesterday....where does the time go.  We made little invitations to invite some neighborhood kids over for pizza and cupcakes.  Ethan picked out the stamp he wanted, which was a hard choice.


He finally decided on this Unity - Balloons to You little image for the front.  It's perfect since today is Friends with Flair at Unity.  I actually won this stamp from my blog friend Ms Julie at Muddy Paws Inky Fingers.  I believe it was from her blog anniversary blog hop last year, which is going on right now...how perfect. Check it out!


Ethan wanted each balloon colored a different color.  It was a simple and easy image to coloring.  SO happy he went with this image!!!  I die-cut two off white tags, one for the front and one for the back.  That way I could use a bigger tag for the center to add some color.  Tie some ribbon and twine, you got yourself an invitation.


Here's the back.  I used Stampin' Up Stamp Please Come.

thanks for looking and reading :o)

What a great idea! I'll have to borrow it the next time I want to make special hand made invites. And from here, next time you, Ethan will be 22! That's the way it was for me, anyway!
