Invitation / Announcement Cards

June is a very busy month. Lots of parties: graduation, baptismal, birthdays, weddings, backyard barbeques, just a lot of get-togethers. We didn't have weddings to attend to, but people we know might have been invited to one. That is why DH's graduation party won't happen until July 5.

I made some invitations using scraps. I made a lot of cards, half of which are announcements that DH is going off to college and soon we will be empty nesters. My cards were made of 3 pages. I didn't have time to make the pages into a mini album. There was no time. I had to send out the invitations right away, otherwise, I might lose the spot - as I said, lots of get-togethers are happening now that Summer is here.

Front cover of card is DH's picture when she was a year old. I used Photoshop to cut the cap from one picture and pasted it on this picture.

Second page is a picture of her during her tandem sky-diving experience. I wanted to depict she's off to college and what better way to show it. It will also be an exciting topic when people who didn't know about her adventure will get to see this picture.
The last page, inside back cover is a picture of DH. Sorry, I had to blur some information on the invitation. I wanted to put some small prima flowers and a little bit more color but there just wasn't any time.

Supplies used: scraps of DCWV papers, EK success corner puncher, Fiskars Doodle embossing puncher, yellow dotted ribbon from Michael's, "C" monogram made with the use of Cricut, foam dots.
