I am in birthday mode! Only 5 weeks til Tay turns 2 {insert tear here}. I finished her invitations tonight! And of course since it's 10 o'clock I can not get a decent picture, I will try again tomorrow when the sun is out. But for now here they are!

Have I mentioned that I now ♥ my sewing machine? Paper is so much easier to sew than fabric, there are no folds or seams that I have to worry about! I have seen so many cards on etsy that are embroidered that I figured I would give it a try. It was so easy!
I figured out a little trick! It only took me 3 cards to figure out because I was too lazy to get up and google sewing paper! There is an annoying string that shows on the front of the card and I knew I couldn't cut it off because my card would fall apart because I was too lazy to glue the pink paper to the green paper before sewing it!

| Notice the annoying string? |
Carefully pull your bottom(bobbin) string from the back of the card. It will create a loop like the picture on the right. Gently pull the loop until the annoying string is pulled all the way through and both of your strings are on the back.

| So much prettier without said annoying string! |
I used my cricut to cut the watermelons using the Doodlecharms cartridge. I found the paper at Hobby Lobby, it is My Mind's Eye Penny Lane Collection. I cut the seeds out of glitter card stock.
I think they are finished...part of me wants to add something else to them. "Hi my name is Kenzie and I can't leave well enough alone." I need an intervention! Hope everyone has a great night!
