surprise birthday party

A friend of mine is having a surprise birthday party for her husband's 40th birthday. She wanted to hand make her invitations so we helped her out a bit!! We made 25 of these cute little easel cards!

I cut off the location just in case anyone wanted to go and crash the party!

Maelie's Invitations!!

After countless hours of working on these invitations, we were FINALLY done tonight!! (Actually we DID count... 20 hours X 2 people = 40 hours!!!)




I am SO glad, relieved, impressed, you name it!! I got the inspiration for these cards on Karen Burniston's website. She is actually the creator of this ball pop up die. I like the way she puts (easy) beside the title!! These cards on not all THAT easy!

When you open up the card, the ball pops up and the little bowling pins hope all over the place!



I don't think I want to give these invitations away!!

Maelie's birthday is in April... no one can ever say I am not preparing ahead of time!!

Gift for a friend!

I found this idea online but I don;t remember where! I copied the idea to have the little drawers at the bottom but i created the card. I think it turned out AWESOME!




Happy Spring SOON!!
