Polka dot birthday invitations

It's hard to believe, but I'm already planning the big 1st/3rd birthday party we're throwing for our boys.  (The perk of having birthdays 4 days apart is mom only has to plan one party!)  Although it's all very exciting and I love party planning, it breaks my heart how fast the time flies. 

Anywho, I finished the invitations tonight.  I don't like cheesy themes like Disney characters or the typical boy stuff like trucks or bugs, so I decided it's going to be a polka dot theme.  It might lean towards girly, but I'm limiting myself to primary colors, so I think it will be a perfect fit. 

I found supplies at (where else?) Michael's, by (who else?) Martha.  I think they are just adorable.

This is the first time I've made invitations like this.  I used scrapbooking supplies to make one and now I'm going to take it to the printer to have it made into a double sided 5x7 cards.  Hopefully they turn out just right and I can stick them in envelopes and send them out.  Otherwise, back to the drawing board.  I don't have it in me to make 30 invitations!

And...ugh.  This is what happens when you have a million projects going at once and don't clean your work space!
