Purple Party invitations

It's just a known fact that my daughter loves purple.  

LOVES purple.

So I thought it would be fun to throw her a Purple Party for  her 4th birthday.

So I started with purple invitations :)

 I used my eCraft to cut out the shapes.  I then made a sheet on Word, made sure the words fit inside the shape of the white paper and then stuck those shapes on the printed paper and ran it through the printer.

Then I connected the top piece with a brad that hinged up to reveal the inside :)

I tied it together with purple ribbon and stuck a purple felt butterfly on the top (courtesy of Dollar Tree)

I love how they turned out.  Seriously, I love it all.

Tomorrow, i'm going to show you the party pictures.  I am currently obsessed with purple :)

handmade business cards.

These are fun & easy business cards that will have people talking...

Just pretend I didn't just write that...haa ha I am on QVC or something...

anyways...You don't have to spend a forutne to order some and wait weeks to get some!  

Make  your own business cards!

The night before Bloggy Bootcamp, I realized I didn't have any business cards to pass out to other bloggers and participants.  I knew that it would be a great opportunity to share my blog with others so I got thinking...

I opened up a simple word document and formatted it horizontally so I could fit 12 cards on one sheet and not have to worry about cropping the sides.  Then I got to work.

Next I printed the sheet on a 8 1/2 x 11 white cardstock 

Next I used my trusty sewing machine.  Pick a thread color you want.  I used a salmon color.

I lined it up on my paper and sewed straight down to the bottom.  I did that 3 times on the page.

Next I started cutting out my cards.  First was the columns...

Next was the rows...

And wha-la!

Really digging out these turned out.  I love the "zig-zag" or "chevron" or whatever you want to call it...

To hold them in one place, I used a coin purse I got from Freshly Picked.

And I was ready to go.  What a great day.  

There will be more on Bloggy Bootcamp soon.  Hopefully soon right?  

I want to also show you guys some of my favorite business cards I got too!  

And because of all the great knowledge from it, my blog is under construction.  I've got big plans for it so things might be chaotic around here while I figure stuff out!

I'll be linking HERE.
