Owl Themed Birthday Party Invitations

My granddaugther's  first birthday party had an owl theme and her mom wanted her invites to have the same theme but she couldn't find any pre-made invitations that suited her.  So, Grammy to the rescue! hehehe We found some paper she liked in color schemes and patterns that were pleasing and off to the Cricut we went.  There is nothing a Grammy can't solve with some pretty paper, glue, google eyes and a Cricut, right?  In no time we had a mock up of a card design that made my daughter-in-law very happy and was exactly what she had in mind when she envisioned our little angel's first birthday party.  She's had an owl theme from day one.  Her baby shower invitations and birth announcements were owl themed so it seemed only fitting that her first birthday keep the same thought process.  I think what we came up with is totally adorable and we couldn't be happier!  What do you think?  Video Tutorial for this card
