Butterfly Mask Invite

Hi friends,

I'm about to embark on my trip and wanted to post a picture of a butterfly card I am making for a young quinceanera.  In the Hispanic culture, we don't celebrate Sweet Sixteen but rather do a big Fifteens party which is the right of passage from childhood to womanhood, if you will.

I was asked to come up with a neat invitation for a Masquerade themed party for a quinceanera and I came up with this.  It's a gate fold card.  It's 5 x 5...I'll probably adjust the size some and also make the design nicer...I just have to tweak it. I wanted to show it to the mom to see if I was on the right track.  I had to manually cut out holes in the butterfly to make it look like a mask...when I make the final ones, it won't look like this.  I'll keep the background layer solid so that it actually looks like a mask instead of a butterfly with holes.  :)

Hope you like!

Masquerade - Prom 2011

I have been a parent at Florida Bible Christian School for only four years, but my family has been associated with the school for 20 years.  It's an amazing school.  We love that our children are growing up learning about God and in a Christian environment. The teachers are real, they are loving, they love the Lord.  They are amazing!  Last month, the church announced that they would be closing our school at the end of this school year after 34 years.  It's closing  doors and leaving 557 children without a home school and 100 staffers jobless.  They have leased our property to a charter school.  We are devastated and praying for a miracle!  As we close the doors, we are doing everything we can to support these kids as they close the chapter.  


I'm helping with Prom this year.  It's a Masquerade theme.  I decorated some beautiful gold masks with stickles. I also cute some little masks from Designers Calender on the cricut using my gypsy.  I wasn't sure what to use them for, but she mentioned she wanted to make some tags for something, so I made her some samples to choose from.   Here are the photos

Stickles is dark blue...but it looks purple.  I love how these turned out. 
The masks are from Anderson Prom.

This is the first one  I made.
My handwriting got better the more I practiced.
