It all began with an idea and an invitation- Austin decided he wanted to have a Pirate themed party for his 7th birthday. I (not really thinking it over) said sure!!
Yikes!!
Well it turned out well even if it was lots of work- he was happy and I got lots of compliments (which makes the hours I put into it a little more manageable!)
It began with his invite- very cute. I created this by using a clear sheet of the mix n mingle album with the chipboard piece as the back of the card. They were attached with ribbon on the sides. The paper used is from the passages kit and the stamp is from a Halloween set called Halloween Parade – I just masked out his treat bag. On the inside (hidden by the front piece) is the party instructions.
Here is my now 7 year old son dressed up in his pirate clothes- complete with gross pirate teeth!! He looked so good and the other kids looked amazing too!!
Our pirate cake- created by Lori Barker from Cake Envy (even though Austin is under the impression that Buddy from Cake Boss made it!)We also had a pirate pinata filled with gold coins AND a treasure hunt to find a chest full of jewels!! It was a crazy few hours but everyone left happy.
Until we craft again, The Brae-er
