Mady Moo Turns 3: Mickey Mouse Invitations

Hello all.  I hope everyone is doing well.  It has been another long couple of weeks but we are hanging in there and are so blessed to be getting so much support from family and friends. (Thanks for the prayers).

I decided to do a Mickey Mouse Club House birthday for my baby girl, Mady Moo, who will be 3 this Friday.  I am doing her party next weekend because my hubby has chemo this week and I want him to be able to help and be a part of the party so we are doing it on an off week.  I saw a few of these invitations online in different places when I search for Mickey Mouse invitations.  They were super easy.

I used my Mickey Font cartridge to cut the base of Mickey in black, then I used Art Philosophy to cut the red circles and then just cut those in half using my paper trimmer.  Lastly on that side I just added two white buttons from the little jar of white buttons I bought at Michaels in the $1 section.  For the details I printed them on the computer, I did download one Mickey font for the Hot Dog... part.  I then printed 4 on a page and used the center cut feature on the Cricut and a circle from Art Philosophy to cut them out.  They were pretty easy but just took a little time to cut and assemble.  I stayed up late one night last week doing them.  I think they turned out cute. 

Because we have so much going on the party is going to be very small and I do not plan to do much except a banner, center piece (maybe) and cupcakes (maybe cake pops too).  I go with my hubby to his chemo appointment this Wednesday which is all day so I am hoping to get some of the banner pieces cut and take it with me to work on, we will see!  Maybe I can get him to help...doubt it :)

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope everyone has a crafty day!

Birthday Button! (My first rosette!)

As I mentioned earlier, my baby girl turned 2 this week (yesterday).  I had to work :( and in the evening my oldest had a baseball game so since we were just doing a small on her day celebration of cupcakes either at the game or home after the game I made my Moo Moo a birthday button to wear.  It was a little big on her but she loved it and actually wore it longer than I thought she would.  She got a big kick out of everyone wishing her a happy birthday.  Of course her favorite part of the day was the cupcakes :)   I used winter woodlands for the scallop edged circles.  I printed the sentiment on the computer onto pink cardstock and then I used the center cut feature on the Cricut to cut it out.  TFL.

 

Mady Moo Turns 2! (part 1 of many)

My baby is turning 2 this week :(  I cannot believe it.  I am having a serious case of baby fever.  Even though she has not been the easiest of my 4 (which my husband keeps reminding me) her turning 2 makes me want another one more than I expected.  When she was a baby I started calling her Mady Moo or Moo Moo and now she even refers to herself as Moo Moo and family and friends call her Mady Moo.  At her first birthday my good friend made a paper cake and she joked about just changing the decorations on it to Mady Moo turns 2! for her second birthday.  That has stuck with me so that is our theme this year!  Here are her invitations for our small family party.  I had the idea for the cow (obviously) for a while and then in the Cricut Magazine a couple of issues ago there was one which gave me more inspiration.  I used Create a Critter for the cow front, back and layers.  It was actually not that easy to put together and I had to print the invitation details and then cut them in the flip shape using center cut (it took a few mistakes to get it right) but I think they turned our SUPER cute!  I hope you will agree.  I plan on using this cute cow as inspiration for the party decorations as well.  Since we are in midst of baseball playoffs and parties her birthday party will be a little later in the month even though her birthday is this week so I have time to get those decorations done once I finish end of the school year teacher gifts this week!  LOL.  Anyway, thanks for looking for now, hope you come back to see the rest!

The real invitations has the details not little cute flowes all over it :)
