FLIPAWOO Slowly Gets Noticed...Baby Steps! Baby Steps!

I would like to give a huge thanks to Karen of Downtown Diaries for including some of my printable Valentine's Day designs in her recent post. Go check her out. This is where she shares her adventurous lifestyle living in the city as well as her sense of great fashion style and eating. Boy, can this girl EAT and how does she manage to stay so SKINNY??!!

Karen's posts allow me to live vicariously through her since I have such a different life now as a stay-at-home mom. Plus, her blog reminds me of when I use to live in Downtown, Los Angeles and how the lights from the city buildings would just come alive and shine through my windows every night. Oh how I miss hearing helicopters roaring through the sky looking for criminals, neighbors partying through the night and me going for my late-night runs buying food from the nearby taco stand. Ahhh...yes, all lovely memories of living in the city. Now living in the suburbs is a bit, how should I say...different, too safe and boring? But hey, gotta live here for the kids and good schools, right?

I'd like to also thank the following blogs for writing such kind words about my designs in their posts:

A Day in the Life
Confessions of a City Eater
City Farm Girl

More Paris-Themed Invitations! Ooh! La! La!

Okay, I can't get enough of Paris related designs, so here are a couple of more invitations I made, which are now in my shop! This is another design idea that I started awhile back, but I just never had enough time to finish, until tonight. I really love how they came out. It sort of reminds me of those menu chalkboards that you see outside of restaurants in Paris. I was planning on adding chalk smudges to the background, but I thought these versions looked much cleaner. Of course, I'll be adding coordinating labels, tags, banners, and other party decoration designs to the shop. Sigh...these invitations make me want to throw another Paris-themed birthday party for my daughter.

It's almost 1 a.m. here in California and I should really be going to bed. Staying up this late almost every night is starting to wear me down. It also doesn't help that my kids wake up really early in the morning! I can't help it though, once I get going on something, I can't stop.

For more Paris-themed invitations and party designs, be sure to also check out my other items.

Composition Notebook and Vintage Inspired Invitation for Birthday Parties or a Shower by FLIPAWOO - Printable File For Double-Sided Printing

Remember these Composition notebooks growing up? I'm not sure if students are still using these, but I remember having to write book reports in these back in elementary school. Anyway, I had this idea awhile back to design invitations based off of these books. I was not able to start on the idea until I came across these books again at the 99 Cents Only store. I was surprised to see them there since I didn't think anyone was using them anymore! Well, I thought it was a sign to finally get going on these designs.

I went with my own designs and steered away from mimicking the well-known black and white pattern that the original Composition notebook uses for its cover. You can also see that I used a lined paper design as part of the backing of the invitation along with some sketchy handwritten fonts and borders.

Now available in my shop are PDF files of my "Composition Notebook and Vintage Inspired Invitations" to use for birthday, shower, and school-themed (graduation) parties. The vintage racing car, rocking horse, tricycle or airplane can be chosen to match the theme of your party. Other design elements such as fonts and colors are also interchangeable. The PDF files are formatted to make double-sided  5 x 7 prints.

One-sided invitation designs are also available. Contact me for more details at flipawoo{@}gmail.com.

Please see below for printing costs:

COST for 5 x 7 Double-Sided Prints and White A7 Envelopes:
x25 - $2.25/e
x50 - $1.80/e
x75 - $1.58/e
