Dalmatian Dog Bone Invitations for Liam’s 2nd Birthday

09.29.2012 by Leah // 1 Comment

When my nephew Liam turned 1 in October last year, his parents threw a cowboy-theme party for him and his guests and I made the simple, Western-style invitations for them.

This year Liam will turn 2 and he will celebrate it in school with the Dalmatian dogs as theme.   You see, Liam loves animals, and is most fond with “Aw-Aw” – a dalmatian dog stuff toy given to him by his Ahma (grandma) Helen.

So his little celebration at school will have a dalmatian dog theme.  Again, I was “commissioned” to do the invitations for his classmates – all 6 of them – plus his 3 teachers.   There were lots of Dalmatian-dog inspired invitations online that I could use but I thought a dog bone invitation would be cute, just like this one from Bliss Party Designs:

Using my left over craft papers, I designed a dog bone, and kept the text simple so that it will not appear “crowded” inside the dog bone.    I used bright colors for the outline (instead of red in the sample invitation above), which would match Liam’s school colors.

Here they are before I cut the outline in different colors.

Nice, aren’t they?

It’s a good thing I have enough red ribbons in my stash to tie around the dog bone invitations.  The printable tags from Wilton (left-over stuff from my wedding) also came in handy.

I wrote the names of Liam’s classmates in the printable (name) tags:

I tied the name tags into the dog bone invitation using the left-over red ribbons.

Ta-da!    Here are the colorful (Dalmatian) dog bone invitations for Liam’s classmates and teachers, ready for distribution  =)

I had fun doing this (I love paper craft projects!) and I hope Liam and his classmates will like the invitations I made for them   =)

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

~

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
