Pirate Party!


Adam's 7th birthday is coming up, and the boy has never had a big birthday celebration, other than his 1st Birthday. So this year, after a long, traumatic summer of a tonsillectomy!, I've decided we're going to do a little more for my little man. We (Adam and I) decided together on a pirate-themed party, and we're getting really excited for it! And I lucked out and have found pirate-y things at the Target dollar spot, as well as the Dollar Tree here in town. Here is the cover of the invitation I made for him, using my Cricut "Gypsy Wanderings" cartridge and some scrapbook paper and stickers already on hand. I also crumpled up old world looking paper and printed out the details inside of the card to look like a map. The inside of his card reads: "Ahoy there, matey! Ye be invited for some birthday spirits at Captain Adam's 7th birthday bash. He needs some shipmates to swab the deck and hunt for long lost treasure. Chart yer course for (time) on (day) at (our address). Wave yer flag if ye be attendin; if not, ye'll have to walk the plank! Yo ho ho, let us know! Call deck hand at (phone #) by (date)." I have to admit, I googled for some ideas and used most of it. :)
