Classy Mickey Mouse Parties

Ok, so I am not satisfied with my Mickey Mouse invitations by any means. I just get so excited when I start a new project that I can't help but share what I've done. I should probably hold my excitement until I get where I want to be. I have much more to learn. I am excited about my new projects though and will be sharing more soon. Next time they are going to be better!

Anyway, today I did want to share some classy Mickey Mouse parties I found online. Using character themes for parties can look a little cheesy sometimes. But these are really cute! They are the sort of parties I would envision.

I found this on the blog A Blissful Nest and it was originally posted on Julie Marie Portraits blog.

The invitations were cute too:

Above is another Mickey Mouse party done in classic black and white colors. Very nice. I think the backdrop would also be nice done in red (with the Mickey Mouse ears in black still). To see more of the details click here.

I hope everyone is having a great Monday! It's raining here.

My Very First Invitations

My little boy LOVES Mickey Mouse. In fact, it's the only show he will watch right now. (which is okay with me because I don't like him watching too much tv).

So to try making invitations, I figured I would use Mickey in them. These are the first invitations I have ever made. It's definitely a learning process, so I guess I can only get better from here. I recently discovered how much I love making invitations and cards and creating beautiful/fun parties. I guess I'm more into it after having my son's first birthday party.

Which one do you like the best? They were fun to make, but now I'm going to start working on my own illustrations as well.
