Mason's Birthday Invitation

Hello everyone,

Sorry today's post is a little off subject, but I just had to show it to ya anyways. These are Mason's invitaions for his 1st Birthday that is approaching very soon----I can't believe he will be 1. I had a lot of fun with these. I used a retired SU jumbo roller and stamp, colored the animals and things using the watercolor crayons from all color families, and then just printed out the saying on my printer. The ribbon is some I found on the BAY!!!! Hope everyone enjoys!!! See you tomorrow.

Good night,
