San Antonio, TX
Welcome! Well I am a mother of two amazing baby girls 3 and 6. I have always loved being creative and thinking outside the box, but it wasn't until I became a mother that I realized i got a chance to be a kid all over. Having been a daycare teacher I realize the importance of being creative and allowing a child to be a kid. I intend to make this site a place to come and get those creative juices flowing, a place to find a quick recipe, but better yet a place where we can come and be better moms.

Princess Scroll Invitation


Saturday was my daughter's birthday my baby turned 6! WOW and it seemed like just yesterday we were bringing her home from the hospital. WOW!



So seeing as she is always and forever will be my little princess we decided to celebrate her birthday this year with a Princess Tea Party. I have always said that the setting is set through the invitations. It allows your guest to see and get into the theme and celebration
So being the creative person that i love to be, I decided to make these wonderful invites with only materials I already had costing me $0.
1.) Step one, finding the wording and personalizing the invitations: I used a bit of help from good old google. and came up with this:


"Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
A royal party is being held to celebrate the birthday of
Her Royal Highness

Princess ______________ (Birthday girl)

Princess ___(Guest's name)____ of Castle ___(Last Name)____ you are invited to a royal celebration in honor of Princess (birthday girl) sixth year of birth.

Join us for feasting and festivities at the __(Your Last Name)__ Castle
Please arrive at 2 o’clock dressed in your best princess attire ,
On the 19th day of September 2009
123 King Ave,
In the township of San Antonio, Texas

Please let the Royal Staff know if you will be attending,
as they prepare the castle for your arrival.
210-123-4567
Be prepared for a magical time!
*Hair, Make up, and Nails will be done at the castle""



yes our street is actually KING AVE o it played out Very well!



2.) Print on favorite color paper,
we choose Pink







3.) We took Skewers and cut off the point and sized them along with the paper












4 .) I took some clear beads that I used for bracelets and or key chains and hot glued them onto the ends of the Skewers









5) We placed glue on the bottom of the page on the back side and rolled the paper on the Skewers. then repeated on the top of the page but this time with the paper facing up. So you end up with the bottom rolling back and the top rolling forward.















6.)I took a glue stick and rolled one straight line down on the left side and one on the right side then covered with glitter. After that I followed with a star hole puncher and punched long the sides
















7.) Final Touch : Add some curling ribbon colors of your choice and finally roll up and tie with ribbon.

Our daughter will be turning 1yrs old in February. We decided to go with a princess theme. I have been looking for Princess scroll invitations and come to find out it is a lot of money to purchase them. When trying to find out how to make them myself I came along your blog. You broke it down and made it so simple. Now my daughter has princess scroll invitations fit for her birthday theme. I just want to thank you for posting how to make them and making it so easy. If it wasn't for you showing me how to do that I don't know what I would have done. So thanks again!!!
