Evan's birthday is coming up this Friday...he's going to be 7!!! We had his party this past Saturday at Metro Sports Center in Evansville. We had a blast! The kids got to run and play games for an hour and then sit and enjoy pizza and cake. We even played a game of dodgeball...parents vs. kids. That was fun but I'm still sore. LOL Evan wanted an Indianapolis Colts themed party. I was able to find plates and napkins and goodie bag items for the party but they had no invites or thank you's so I made my own.
Invites: I used my Cricut and Gypsy (of course). I used Sports Mania, George, Create a Critter, and Old West for these. I welded the football shape to a rectangle from George and cut that in white. I then cut the football using Sports Mania in brown and embossed with my Cuttlebug Tiny Bubbles folder to make it look like the texture of a real football. I then used Create a Critter for the horseshoe and stretched it a bit to resemble the real Colts logo and added the circles from George. I put that on the invite using pop-dots. I used Old West font for the PARTY title. It was the perfect Colts font. I stamped all the info on the inside.
Thank you's: I kept these a little more simple. I used Sports Mania and Create a Critter for these. I used Sports Mania for the football helmet and Create a Critter for the horseshoe and a white get pen for the dots on the horseshoe. I used my Cuttlebug Thanks folder for the background. Evan just wrote the last of his thank you's today while he's home sick from school. TFL

Jennifer - these ROCK!! Totally LOVE the invites and the TY's are GREAT!! S. is just now getting interested in the Colts! I can hardly wait to show him these - I know he'll love them too. You are such a great mom and such a creative gal!! Hope Evan is feeling better and back to school soon - I'm sure he's missing it.
I love the invite and thank you cards and the way you incorporated the cuttlebug is awesome! It sounds like everyone had a great time. I can't wait to see what you create next.
These are SO super cute!!! Of course, *ahem* they'd have been better if they were Chicago Bears...but still SUPER cute! lol Just kidding! I'm in Northwest Indiana, but hail from Chicago, so I'll be a Bears fan forever. What a clever idea. I look forward to seeing more of your projects!
These are awesome!
Super cute!!! And such a great way to use your Cricut!
I'm pinning your cards on Pinterest! Love them.
