Hey Everyone!!
Happy "It's My Party Blog Hop"!! I'm so excited that Alex from You Had Me At Craft asked me to participate in this Blog Hop.....as my birthday was just this past weekend :)
You should have just arrived from the oh so talented Tracey from CraftJunkieToo's Blog, however, if your just starting our with me you'll want to start our fabulous host, Alex's Blog.
So normally I lean to a more...how should I put this...Girly projects? LOL But tonight I was totally in a boy mood and decided to create a Birthday Card for a Special Birthday Boy.
I must warn you that my card is OH SO simple BUT what crafter doesn't like an easy card to whip up in those last minutes??? I know I sure do!
My Card measures 8.75" x 4" and will find in a letter size envelope, which almost everyone has in their home! I also left space on the pull out tag to add a little note to the birthday boy and include some cash.
Tips & Tricks with Trish for making a party successful: Use your creative side to come up with an invitation and use that theme throughout the whole party, such as decorations, goodie bags, maybe even the cake! Having a them makes everything so much easier to coordinate!
Also, Don't forget! There are not 1 but 2 grand prizes that will be award to a follower who comments on ALL the posts....so be sure to enter in for GREAT PRIZES!!
Since I'm the last one on the blog hop trail, be sure to check out our Its My Party Blog Hop Facebook Page for all the other great things going on today along with the hop, like a USTREAM Broadcast!!!
PS....I promise to be back to posting regularly by next month [once my job moves closer to my home and I don't have an hour commute each way =)]
