Hulk Birthday Party Invite

My oldest son is turning ten this week and he wants an Incredible Hulk birthday party. I'm not planning anything too elaborate, but I did make this birthday party invite last night (after my show: An Ideal Husband at the Echo Theatre--I'm Lady Basildon, a small but very, very fun part).

Here's to awesome super heroes and fun graphic design and birthday parties and theater and staying up way too late!

Smooch Projects

That is the most boring title ever. Perhaps I should add a plethera of exclaimation points after it to boost the excitement. "Smooch Projects!!!!!! Yeah!!!"

I don't think I have the energy for that today (I stayed up way too late reading the last book in the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series and I'm in a melancholy now that I've finished--not that they weren't good. I'm just going to miss the characters and I'm pouting). Even though I think these projects are totally rocking. They are the projects from this video. Yep, finally managed to get photos of them. Go me!

Anyway, here are the cards. Pretty standard, except they glimmer. Glimmer is good.

Then there's my favorite project, the birds on the glass.

Their white bodies are on the front, and the designs are on the back. I think it turned out adorable, and this is going to hang out in my craft room forevermore.

 I recently found myself needing a card. I have a collection of cards I've made over the years, but I just didn't have the right one. I'm not a huge cardmaker (the ones I do have were usually design team assignments, I almost never choose to do cards on my own), so I thought I'd do a quick printable this week, with two cards per page. They are super easy, just print on an 8.5X11" sheet of cardstock, cut apart, fold and you're done!

Woah. Valentine's Day sneaked up on me. Who knew love could be so devious? I am not a good wife when it comes to Valentine's Day. Usually, David spoils me rotten (like it's my birthday or something), while I feel bad that I didn't put as much time and effort into it.

But not this year. This year I am prepared. No just tucking a sweet letter into an envelope and letting David pick out his own presents. This year, I have designed a kit specifically to make him a card with it. I think it can be a bit hard to buy your husband a Valentine's Day card, unless you go with a funny one; but then, I don't have all that much experience buying them (when I've given a card in the past, it was usually one I made and already had on hand). Anyway, I like this kit because it's masculine and bold, but still fits in with the whole vibe of Valentine's Day.

There is a printable in the kit too, which looks just like my card up there. You can print it out, trim it down and slap it on a card and call it done. A tip I would give is find an envelope first, then print it the right size for the envelope. I can't tell you how many times I've had a card and not a single envelope to fit it.
