Fall means that Winter is around the corner; this girl does not appreciate Winter, despite the Canuck's best efforts to make it seem palatable. Anyways, in order to relive happier days, I finally got around to taking pictures of some summery birthday invitations from earlier this year.

Maggie's two adorable boys had a joint party-- picnic-themed, which is so perfect for summer. I wanted to design something simple enough for a picnic, but with a few cute details, like those pesky ants marching their way around the border. Lady Rene, an all-time favorite font, ended up working so well to get that cute-and-casual look I was going for.

The original was colored pencil on watercolor paper,
to get that nice texture. A fine pen for the lettering, of course. |

I matted them on red and yellow gingham with thick brown card-stock behind that. Nice and sturdy.
These boys are all boy, by the way, and so completely adorable. Happy birthday to them both, a little late. ;)
