Hello everyone!
Β 
Today I wanna share some birthday party invites I made a couple weeks ago for Anna’s 18th Birthday party!! Yeah…18, I’m still in denial! LOL
Β 
Anyhow, I had the 12×12 Primas “Nature’s Garden” paper collection I wanted to use. I LOVED side A of the collection. Side B was a little too purple and gray for me, although the images were exquisite! πŸ™‚Β 
Thanks Jodie Lee for the awesome design! It’s a favorite for sure!! Β So I used this collection for the 12 invites and also used -3- 12×12 sheets I punched a border design on them for the cake and present table
….it was so pretty!
Β 
I recycled 4 glass Starbucks bottles. I saved about 8 of them, but used 4 and they worked great for small flower arrangements on the cake table!
Β 
Let me apologize that I don’t have the video tutorial for these, I really wish I could have had one but this was during the time when I had no internet and had 2 laptops in the shop and I was stressed. When I finally had some connection I did a search on Pinterest and found an awesome picture of a card that totally inspired me!!! AHHH, you guys, this lady is so talented, her name is Anne and her blog is mesmerizing!Β
