Happy Birthday!!

Today is my wonderful Hubby's 30th birthday!!

We usually don't do much for his birthday. We usually wait until my birthday and go out on a date since my b-day is only 6 days after his. We had lunch and then enjoyed a little bit of cake. The girls were upset since I didn't get party hats so Anthony being the clever guy he is collected his hats and thats what they wore.

Here's the birthday boy and our two little sweeties!! (notice the Buckeye cake)

Here's the card I threw together last night for Anthony. It was the home to his Game Stop gift card. Its pretty simple but my guy is pretty simple too. The paper is K&Company Wild Saffron, the birthday stamp is from Stampendous and of course TGF Birthday Boy Ian which I colored with my BIC markers.

I love you Anthony and happy birthday!

I hope that every one had a wonderful weekend. I spend most of the day just trying to stay warm. I can't wait for the spring!!

Here we go!!

So here it is, my very first post on my very first blog.

I've been working on a number of things lately which I'll get finished someday. The number one on my list was invites for a BBQ. We usually do them every year in May but Anthony was deployed so I decided that we would do it before school started.

Anyways to the good part......

This is the invite. Does it look like an apron to you? I thought it turned out fairly well. I welded some shapes together in the Cricut Design Studio to get it. I believe the "your invited" is from Beyond Birthdays and the cute little chick is a stamp I got at a LSS. It's from the Stampendous Calendar Chicks collection. I'm not a big stamper but I just had to have it.

To get the party info you just pull the tag out by the ribbon and there it is. The tag is from Tags, Bags, Boxes and More. The white pocket was also a tag from TBBM, I just worked it into pocket form using the DS. The party info is computer generated in MSword. I have to make a couple of little tags to go in the chick pocket. One will say BYOB and the other will have RSVP info on it.

Thanks for stopping by!! Leave a comment, I can't wait to get my first one!!
