Arlo's 4th Birthday

While stuck in bed today (yes, I am sick again...more on that later), I began looking on Etsy at invitations for Arlo's 4th birthday party. He wants to have a "superhero" theme and have all the kids wear capes. I feel like we've done this before, but Arlo LOVES capes.

I can't argue. Capes are cool.

After looking at the 50th card that made me think, "I can do that!"....

I did that.

With inspiration from my artsy friend Melissa, a sharpie marker, a pair of scissors, an old comic book that was falling apart, a glue stick and a blue ink pen;

I made ten very cute birthday invitations.


This one turned out a little dark...I am not sure I will actually use it...but, I like it.


This one might be my favorite.



I can't wait for Arlo to see them tonight.

Arlo was excited, but recognized the book they came from and had to mourn the loss of the book! It was practically destroyed, so it didn't take long.
