Birthday Invitation Part 3: The card base tutorial!
I want to reiterate again, that I did not come up with the invitation base. Terry Diack is an amazing CTMH consultant and I wait on baited breath for her posts so I can case them. I made a tutorial for this base because hers is not posted on her blog.

Birthday Invitation Part 2: more photos!
So here are more photos of the invitation.
I made 2 versions of the invitation: one for families with kids and one for adults. The one for kids has 2 pockets (like the tutorial coming tomorrow) while the one for adults has only one. Hint, you just use 2 envelopes instead of 3.

All Because He Wanted to Cricut...
Maybe you have noticed, I am not posting as regularly. Part of the reason is because my sweet children Graycen (almost 2) is attached to me at the hip lately and also going through a period of asserting his independence. Take yesterday for example, I was working on his birthday party invitations (post coming soon) and he pointed to the Cricut, saying "button". He loves all things with buttons and helping mommy. I simply told him I was not "cricutting" at the moment, but he could help me when I did. He does not think anyone should tell him no. So it began, as it does daily....the battle of wills. His tantrum lasted 20-30 minutes.
He did not want me capturing this moment forever, so he hid his face.
It just went on and on....
It ended like this... Cuddle Time with Mommy and sleep.
