2008 Halloween Invitations!

Well I just got done designing the invitations for our 2008 halloween party. These were so much fun and I am so happy with how they turned out. I bought some manila envelopes and printed the "X-Ray Film Do Not Fold" and addresses onto them. Then I created a fake x-ray which I printed on transparency film. The x-ray points to a crack on the skull and states "death caused by blow to the head with a tire iron for not attending our halloween party". Ha ha! I think that I have watched one too many 'Bones' episodes :) Then behind the x-ray is a medical record form which I played on words between it being a medical form and the information for attending the party. The 'medical form' reads:

Date Of Admittance: (Date of party)
Cause Of Death: Death caused by blow to head with a tire iron

Please answer the following questions to the best of your ability:
Please arrive by: 5pm | 8pm | 11pm (8pm circled)
Please come in your: lingerie | costume | birthday suit (costume circled)
Don’t forget to bring: libations | pumpkins | teddy bear (libations circled)

Name of hosts: (our names)
Party Address: (our address)
In case of emergency (or to RSVP), please notify: (my email and cell number)

I realize that by attending this party I am responsible for any
and all fun I will incur and/or drunkenness that may ensue.
I understand that I am to come in costume or I will be liable for
any consequences or ridicule that may occur.

Spooky Halloween Invitations!

It's that time of the year again... I love halloween! I created this invitation last year when I threw a costume party at my house. Both the invitation and the party turned out great and I am throwing another party this year! Although I am going to come up with a different invitation design, one that is not as time consuming to assemble :) 

I'd thought I share this one with you since I loved how it turned out. It is also up for order on my etsy site. The direct link to it is: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=15258779

My trip to Mexico...

I just got back from a trip to Tulum, Mexico. Here are some shots that I took at the Mayan Ruins  we visited. We went with 2 other couples and a few of my candid shots are at the end of the post.
