Wow! I'm so sorry that it has been five days since my last post. There's been so much going on here at the Holston household. It usually gets crazy around here mid-April. There's lots of deadlines to meet. One of the biggest (and highly important) is Adam's birthday party! My baby is turning six! Of course, we always throw him a party and I always make his invitations. This year was no different...other than I had only two days to make them. That's right....the race is on! Of course, he wants a 'race car' party. My one and only set containing a race car is Stampin' Up!'s retired "To The Finish". The thought of coloring a dozen of those cars in less than two days didn't thrill me at all. So, this is what I came up with.

Adam's favorite driver is Jimmie Johnson. And, although this isn't quite Lowe's blue, it certainly made one little boy very happy! Believe it or not, this was a pretty easy card to mass produce. It is a postcard type invite. The punches made it easy! I did the production line deal and "boogity-boogity-boogity" (sorry D.W.) the race was won! Started the cards on Friday and in the mail on Saturday! Now, to come up with a thank you...hmmm...
I hope you've been inspired. Don't let the race to the finish overwhelm you. It's usually the journey between the start/finish that's the most fun!
Thanks for stopping by today!
