One week ago today our daughter Jennifer's children came to visit - their ages 13, 11, 6 and 4. The first night they all stayed with us but then they stayed in various combinations with our other daughter Jamie, the other Grandma and us. We had someone here with us for most of five days.
Allissa is the oldest and had asked me prior to coming if I would help her make invitations for her 14th birthday party which will be the middle of August. I was quite flattered because she isn't typically interested in crafting. She had done some searches on the Internet and found a really cute idea.
We knew this was going to take some time so she very generously allowed her cousin Emma to help. Using only supplies that I had here without buying anything special, we made two of each color combination. I thought you might like to see................
Before she came I did make up a sample just to see how it would go. A fun variation on this would be to use a "brad" in the center of the flower and just put it through the top layer so that the top layer would "swivel" and more information could be put on the bottom layer of the flip flop. We decided to take the easier way and just attach the top layer to the bottom and leave it at that.
This would also make a fun birthday card to give someone. Since she is having a "beach" theme for her birthday party, I may just have to make up a special one of these for her card from us.
I'm still recovering from their visit and catching up with some other things but hope to be posting cards again next week. Thanks for stopping by!

That is so cool, Vicki! How awesome she wanted to craft with you, and her idea is fabulous! I'm sure she will love that her birthday card matches her invitations.
