It's party planning madness around here. I whipped these up the other night for B's one year birthday party. I can't believe he will be one! He's getting to be such a big boy now & if I think about it too much I get really sad. The other day he sat at a little picnic table & ate a snack with 4 other kids. Didn't take theirs, didn't get down before he was done, didn't fling his food off the table...I cried myself to sleep that night.
For this super simple invite I chose a photo & resized it to the size of a 35 mm negative, then made a sheet of the image in Photoshop (since I can't make real contact sheets anymore). Then I designed the invite in Photoshop & printed them on my Epson 2200 with paper I had left over from a Gocco project. A little double stick tape to fasten the image & voila!
I love projects like these because they don't take long & I can put them together in front of the TV. And a paper invite is so much more fun to get than an email, don't you think?

Oh, they are adorable! I absolutely love the simplicity of the invite, along with that adorable picture!
I can't believe he's already one! Funny story, Kenny Kim saw me at the Imaging USA convention and was like, "Congrats on your baby!" (He thought that I was you!!) haha
Longtime lurker but yes! Paper invites vs. email! :) Happy birthday to your little guy! Mine is turning six in May and I can NOT believe it.
