Harley Inspired

I am finished with my latest project!  It was miserable and I hated it 50% of the time that I was making it but I think it turned out awesome!


Harley Davidson inspired invitations!  My good friend is throwing a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend!  When she asked me if I would make the invitations I was hesitant to say yes because I usually don't do "boy" stuff let alone "man" stuff.  Fortunately for me he happens to be a biker and happens to ride a Harley!  So in true Harley style I used black, white, orange and grey.  The skull was easy, it looks tough and bikerish but it wasn't enough.  So I added metal mesh and hand-made barbwire.


The barbwire was the worst idea ever, but completely genius!  My fingers hurt so bad from wrapping wire.  But I think it adds the right touch of "man bling" to the invite!

I used the Indie Art cartridge from Cricut for the skull.  The skulls were also a huge pain in the you know what!  I inked the skulls and the crossbones.  The crossbones were not attached to the skull so I had to glue them all on...Boo!


Thank goodness for my spray adhesive!  Have I ever told you how much I love that stuff?  Oh yeah, I did here.  It is strong enough to adhere the metal mesh to the card, love, love, love it!


This project was a success, thank goodness....not that I was worried or anything!

Mommy by Day....Biker by Nap


Say hello to the newest member of our family!


The Fatboy!
My husband was standing behind me as I was writing this and made sure I got all the proper pictures in for displaying a bike.


The best thing about HIS new bike is that I can ride it!  Yes, Yes, Yes!  I forgot how amazing riding was!  I feel so free!
"Hey honey, can you take a picture of me on the bike?"

"Be back before the girls get up!  Thanks, love ya!"

 
 "What?  You were going to go for a ride?"

"Huh?  I can't hear you the exhaust is too loud!"
Going.....

 Going.....

 Gone!

OK, he knew I was going for a ride but it was kind of funny!  Here is to a summer filled with rides at nap time!
