But first... I'd like to show you one way I've been using my digi scrapbook stash recently for my daughter's birthday party! I created her birthday invites with the Happy Day Kits, some stithing from InStitches & Karla Dudleys protector pockets!

Here is how it looks before I put the protector pocket on...

It's basically a real simple mini scrapbook page.  I layered a background pattern, took the birthday die cut card & used it as a clipping mask for my patterned paper, & UNDER the opening in the card I added about 5 different layers of the confetti from the kit, positioned & moved around in different ways.  Between the different confetti layers, I added the word strips from the kit & also one of the bursts that I had added a number to, to signify which birthday it was.  On TOP of the card I added stitching as well as another one of the word strips.  I added the info that I wanted to add & after that was all done, I added Karla's protector to make it look like a little shaker. DONE

Digital kits are a really great way to create party invitations {& thank you's) for a few or a bunch of people!  I made these with my Happy Day kits & printed them at home, because I didn't need a ton, but I've also had them printed at Persnickety Prints & they're awesome.  I do invites up digitally for most all our birthdays, plus I've done Christmas cards too. It's really a great way to add a personal touch with a kids photo, family photos, a pet, whatever & make it just the way YOU like it!  It's really like a mini scrapbook page & really very economical! Sorry I don't have more for you... we've been in full on party mode today!
