So the countdown is on! In less than five short weeks our baby girl will be three! It is hard to believe she was just eight weeks old when we moved out here! Such a tiny little thing…goodness the time flies! Anyway, I started on her invites probably about three weeks ago or so but had a hard time staying focused because I just wasn’t loving what I was coming up with. And when I don’t love something, I have a hard time getting motivated and staying on task! So, after starting from scratch at least three different times, yesterday while the kids were napping I FINALLY came up with something I absolutely love! It is just what I was after and whether or not anyone else likes it, I really don’t care because I LOVE it!
I really should wait to be sharing this since most of the people who will be getting an invitation read my blog, but as you know, I am not so patient like that! I am such an open book and love to share everything! This is no different!
I had some issues this morning when I was trying to get the front ready to print…of course! There originally wasn’t the orange and white polka dot bar at the top, it was just the scallop, but when I put the invite on the template for the printer, most of the scallop didn’t clear the “safety line” and to avoid a wonky looking scallop, I had to improvise! I also had to move up the text on the bottom so it isn’t quite centered anymore, but I’m okay with that! Chris was frustrated because all he sees are the imperfections in the scalloped border I bought and the non straight parts, but I am pretty sure that no one will ever notice that other than us! Plus, add in the shimmery finish I am having it printed with and all the imperfections will fade away!
The back looks a little funky on here because the white all runs together, but you get the idea! The part with the pictures is just white! And as cool as it would be to live on Lollipop Lane, we don’t! For obvious reasons I am not plastering my address all over the internet!
I still plan to put together an entire post on this party with all of my links, purchases, creations, etc… but I wanted to share!
Hope everyone is having a terrific Thursday!

So, so, so, so CUTE!!! You really are outdoing yourself on this party! Actually, I didn’t see her first or second party, so I guess I need to go back and look for them on your blog! Or maybe I’ll just wait until you group them together. Anyway, awesome job on the card! It’s unbelievable!

Wow… I absolutely love the color combination you chose as well as the fun fonts! It all really works perfectly together. GREAT JOB!
Although I totally love that you chose to use the up-close series of shots of Gentry in the invite, do you have any more pics of her in that precious hot pink dress, full length? I would love to see what that whole dress looks like. I want one for my daughter!
