Toy Story Birthday Invitations

My oldest daughter loves Toy Story, so the girls' birthday party this year is going to be Toy-Story themed.  It's hard to say which character she likes best, but I picked Jessie as the central theme for her invitations.  I'm no Jessica, (you really should go look at hers, she designed those from nothing!) but I decided to design and print my own, rather than buying them pre-made. I found this image online, and downloaded it. Now I have to wait for the ink I ordered to get here so I can print them out.


I had a hard time choosing between doing a flat card or folded card, but in the end went with the flat one for the invitation,

 
and made the thank you cards folded.  Now, where is that ink??

Those are cute! I love Toy Story too! I'd have sat with her through all three......
I can't believe how fast time is flying that baby is almost a year?!

Corinnea, Kaylie will be a year on March 10, and Elora will be 3 on March 23. It's insane.

Really cute Adrienne! what decortions will you have?

They are so cute! I love the border and background. I think the flat invite was a good call. Then people can keep being reminded of the date and time without having to open it! I am terrible I never got thank you cards out and I still feel so bad about that... I'm really hoping morning sickness is enough of a good excuse! Can't wait to see the party!

It's funny Buzz light year is the only Disney character Micah recognizes (from our disney trip). (Grandpa has him hooked on looney toons) He still hasn't seen the movies though... might have to see if I can get a break from bugs bunny!
I know you will do something fun
