They are post-it note holders and I simply wrote the party information on the first page of them. My daughter was convinced that turning 10, “double digits”, was a very important milestone, so I decided to make invitations that were a bit fancy and different.
For this one I used the island floral die to cut through about 1/4 of a post it note pad and then made front and back covers from her favourite stampin up colour – Rich Razzleberry.
There was 1 boy invited to the party and I thought he might not appreciate the flower so I made this one for him instead.
I also made these invitations fit the Splitcoast Creative Crew challenge for this month.

My daughter is very into Harry Potter and we played a few “Potterish” games. Just thought I’d show you what we did with the owl punch at the party. I gave the kids scraps of card and dsp and they made their own owls, like Hedwig but more colourful :) Then we put magnets on the back of them. I had my eldest daughter draw a cute Harry Potter Hedwig game (same as pin the tail on the donkey). She is great at drawing and I am not :) We put it on the fridge and they had to get their magnet owls in the right spot. Anyway it was a big hit and they all got to take their owl magnets home at the end of the party. They all loved them!

I love Harry Potter, so I'm really sad that I missed that super fun game. :) That's seriously the cutest thing EVER. My birthday is in December if you'd like to come over be in charge of my party. :)

What a great idea! I just read ALL the HP books! So cute (and so is your daughter!).
