Noah has been at me to get to setting up a play date with 2 boys in his class. NOT at the same time-Mommy can only handle so much at once.
He said “Mom you gotta make me something to give to the mom’s of X and X, so they will come over our house to play XBOX.”
I said “OK I’ll write a note to your teacher, and have her send them our #. (I guess they won’t do that through the school, so I will have to address note’s to their parents, and formally “invite” them.)
Noah-“No! Mom, you have to make something cool, that will make them want to come over.”
Me-“OK I’ll see what I can do”
and THIS was what I came up with-
Noah said this when he saw them “That Kicks Alien Butt!” (my guess is that is a good thing.)
NOTE: I distorted our phone #-the card really does look cute other wise ๐
This was really fun. Now I need to make some GIRLY ones for the girls ๐
What do you think of our XBOX playdate invites? I made a few to keep on hand. Something I rarely do, but these were fun and easy. Plus what a cute way to ask someone over!
Its not a card-rather a postcard. It features Noah’s name and our phone for the mother to call.
This paper seriously ROCKS!!!! It is by Polar Bear Press-the Celebrationย collection.
It was perfect for XBOX colors ๐ If you have one then you KNOW what color the buttons are! Speaking of buttons-the one’s on the controller are colored with a glitter pen in the XBOX button colors.
I used the All Guyย set. The You’ve got game sentiment on the side is also part of that set.
ย The “screen” fits in the secondย smallestrectangle nestability, so it is dryย embossed, as is the black layer. It looks just like a 3D TV in person!
The “an invitation” and “laugh play enjoy” (words on the block image, minus the flowers in between) is from Its a Party. I so LOVE that set!
Our personal info (name and #) was done using a old fashioned label maker! Its was really cool-and computer like to me.
So I hope you liked my idea, um er’ Noah’s idea ๐ for inviting someone to your house. Way to expand the use of your stamp collection.
This set is one of my favorite GUY sets.
Tomorrow is our blogger’s challenge, and I am posting a box of goodies I was sent. THANK GOD I got some happy mail. Lauren has been put on financial PROBATION :C
Too much coming up that I need to pay for, so no new stamps for me. Like fixing my kids teeth, getting Daisy fixed, dance class for Amber, school tuition-you get the idea.
I so want the new Elzybells and The Cat’s Pajama’s and Hannah Stamps has Riley coming out! What else? Oh yeah the newest yet to come Bella’s………oh boy! So much rubbah-so little $$. Better use what I actually have instead.
Till tomorrow.

that is too cute and too cute that he wanted you to make something cool for the moms! aren’t kids great?
This card ROCKS! How much more perfect could a card for this occasion be? I’m totally impressed! I just got some of that paper too! Did you happen to get it from PC? ๐
rofl…girl you are too much! Can’t believe you made such kick butt invites for a play date! WOW! You rock….lol! I hate having play dates….I’m too much of a neat freak and I don’t like the mess all the kids make…haha! Well in winter anyway…in the summer they can go outside ๐ Hope that the kids come for a good time for Noah!
How cute that Noah won’t settle for calling or emailing the parents and that he thinks rocking invites will make him friends!! These are totally adorable, just like Noah. ๐
This is great you are so creative
Noah’s a smart boy!! Getting his mom to do invites!!! Obviously he’s noticed what you do . .. and they’re just fabulous. With invites like that the other parents are really going to be challenged!!!!
This is so cool and for a playdate! I think so of us need a “Stampers Anonymous” group for our “stamping addiction problem”. LOLOLOL!
OH MY GOSH, I can’t believe these AWESOME play date invitations!!! That is so cool, that Noah wanted you to make something!!! I LOVE IT!
I’m sure the kids will LOVE coming, it’s a done deal! Hugs to Noah for his great idea!

Oooh my girly..
You put us all to shame..
With everything you have on your plate…
And cards for playdates!!!
okay… You need to teach us time management or something…
You are scaring me!!
I love those invites!! Too cool! Financial probation sucks, totally; but I so understand.
Tell Noah *his* idea ROCKS! Seriously, what great invites!
I LOVE the controller (looking to see what set that is from…) and, you’re right, the paper is a perfect choice for this card. In a word, FUN!
I feel for your ‘financial’ probation. I’m there with you ๐ Yup, a lot has hit the fan over here too. Oh well, gotta do what you gotta do.
Have fun with the play date! Talk to you later!
WOWZA! This is way cool!!! All the moms will now be impressed by you and your amazing talents…that is, if they weren’t already! LOL!!!
Those invitations are way cool!! ๐ I love Noah’s reaction “It kicks alien butts!” priceless! LOL
that is *THE* coolest thing I have seen..you really did an awesome job on this!
How flattering that Noah wants you to do what you normally do every day for HIS friends. A phone call or simple note won’t do. He KNOWS what counts in the way of an invitation.
These are fabulous! I didnt even know there were these cool boy stamps! What a fun invite!
Oh and I also want the new Cats Pajamas and elzybells, they are both so dang cute!
Awesome! (but you can still read the # on the one laying down – might wanna blur that one too hun).
I love the controllers! These are so cute! My DH has XBOX and Wii parties all the time, I really should make him some cute invites sometime! Thanks for sharing these!!!
