Come one, come all

Come one, come all to Grace's 4th birthday. In case you haven't already guessed, we are going with a circus themed birthday party and the party is THIS weekend.  Beware, there will be lots of circus themed posts around here.

Being an avid DIYer, it may surprise you, I went with store bought party invitations.  I found them at Hobby Lobby and thought 1. these are really cute and 2. this will save me some creative energy.


But in a Sandra Lee fashion {from Food Network}, I decided to take a semi homemade spin on my invites.  I used my Martha Stewart elephant stamper and a grey paint sample swatch.


Grace helped lightly glue the elephant cut outs onto the invites.  Yes, if you live in this house, you get sucked into my crafting sweat shop :)


The finishing touch, we stamped an elephant onto the back flap of the envelope.


Tada...not bad for semi homemade, huh?
