Hi there! So so sorry it's been so long. Busy weekend! So, as you probably already knew, Saturday was World Card Making Day. So, as much as I wish I could, I NEVER have an entire day to devote to crafting! Unless I go away on a crop or something, there is just NO WAY that happens. But, I did want to do **something** on WCMD, so I designed my oldest son's birthday party invitations! I had recently gotten this cool Skater Dude stamp set and die from Papertrey Ink, which is my new "papercrafting guilty pleasure" website! It's a good thing I ordered it, too. because my almost-11-year-old son was very wary about the idea of a themed birthday party....and to be honest, I am not even sure how to plan a non-themed birthday party! LOL. Anyway, once I suggested an X Games theme to him, he was good to go.... but secretly, between you and me, I planned the party for an evening instead of during the day.... Because, Ian has broken his arm TWICE this year, once on a skateboard, and once on a Ripstik. I (quite frankly) don't have the bravery to take seven 10/11 year old boys to the skate park! So, we are going to stick with Tech Decks and Wii skateboarding for the party.... I really can be quite smooth when it comes to redirecting my kids, sometimes! ;) I even found this COOL set of plates and papergoods for the party online! :)
So, I had to take a little direction from Ian on these. I feel like the skateboards are not the right colors.... Anyway, had it been left up to me, they would've matched the background paper a little better! This paper is old from my stash... I think the collection was called "Geo-Hectic," A really fun boy collection! I die cut and stamped the skateboards, and I used the die for the sentiment as well. I used some of the brads that Kara sent me in my SWAP goodie package! I scored and turned the "boards" up on the ends a little so they looked real. I attached them to the card with 3D dots, so they would appear like they had wheels underneath.
I had fun with the wording/font on the interior of the invites, too! :)
Well, I hope you like my invitations! I'll be back soon with this week's colourQ card! :)

This is one rockin' card, Noelle!! I love how you fashioned those little skateboards and that paper is so grungy fab! The inside invite is awesome, too. Everything works so well together! Hugs! :)

love how these boards are popped up on 'wheels'...turning them up on the ends is genius!! makes them so much more realistic!!
