Flyers for YOUR Event

I've been working on more invitations and flyers.

I created this flyer for the Sealston Elementary PTA to be distrubuted and displayed throughout the community, benefiting the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

The other flyer I created was for Papa John's cards that the SMTCCAC, Inc. Head Start Policy Council is selling to benefit parents within the program. We are hoping that if we raise enough money we can encourage parents to attend Conferences on behalf of the program.

I've also been busy with Hello Kitty invitations for a young lady's birthday party. With more publicity, work is starting to pick up, and I'm learning everything that it takes to operate my own business. Thank you for your continued support!

Mario Birthday Party Invitations

I was recently informed that I didn't post my son's awesome invitations that I made for his birthday. So I'm posting them now! :)
My son is obsessed with Mario, so what is more fitting than Mario Birthday Party invitations in the form of a ticket!

St. Patrick's Day Countdown

My oldest is always asking how far away something is and attempts to keep track in his head day by day. His birthday is on the 13th of this month and I know he'll have a hard enough time keeping track of that. So I thought I'd come up with something a bit more interesting that he can have fun with and keep track of the days until St. Patty's Day!

I found a Shamrock Pattern online, that has three different sizes, one for each of my kids. Printed it out, cut out the shamrocks, and traced them onto different shades of green contact paper. I cut out 17 of each side and covered both sides with contact paper (for extra durability).
It seemed like it took forever and really made me want a die cut machine. Maybe if I had one of those my hands wouldn't hurt so bad and cutting out 51 of these little things wouldn't have been so intimidating half way through the project.

Now each day, STARTING TODAY, until March 17th, I will hide a little shamrock somewhere around the house for the kiddos to find them. Since they are younger, I will tell them which room it will be hidden in. Once they have found it we will hang it somewhere around the house for decoration. On the final day (St. Patrick's Day), I plan to hide the last shamrock with some chocolate gold coins to help celebrate the holiday.
