Cookie Monster Birthday Invitation

One of my favorite places for inspiration is etsy. So naturally, when we decided to do a Cookie Monster theme for Isaac's 2nd birthday I had to check out what they had to offer.


Things went just the way they normally do. I surfed in looking for an idea for a birthday banner, and ended up completely in love with all of the other cute little unnecessary goodies! 


The first thing I decided we needed was cute personalized invitations, of course! So, I spent some time looking around at all of the options available, then broke out the Photoshop!


Now let me tell you-- I am no pro with Photoshop. I got a great deal on CS5 while I was a teacher and couldn't pass it up, so I play around with it a alot. It takes me a LONG time to figure out how to do what most people can probably whip out in a few minutes. I do utilize digiscrap papers, etc. that I've found online to help with projects similar to this.


When all that was done, here's what I came up with:




So there you have it. Google images. Photoshop. Uploaded to Wal-Mart to print. Bought some envelopes (cheap!) from Amazon (another LOVE of mine).


Success!

See? I can do that!!
