Amy's 13th Birthday Friend Invite

For Amy's Friend Birthday Party this year, we did a Minute to Win It themed party.

Minute to Win It is a popular game show that makes challenges using normal household items to try and do in a minute or less. For instance, take a spaghetti noodle in your mouth and without using your hands, you have to slide 5 penne noodles off of a table onto your spaghetti noodle. If any of the noodles fall off or breaks, you have lost the challenge.

Amy and her friends had a fabulous time and it was a lot of fun to watch because some of the challenges were a bit silly looking.

Since Senior Kindergarten, Amy has asked her friends from school to give her money instead of gifts for her birthday. Amy then takes all that money and donates it to the charity of her choice.

This year she decided to split it amongst two charities. Half of her birthday money went to her school's breakfast club and the other half went to the Thunder Bay Therapeutic Riding Association. Amy invited 50 children to her birthday party and we had 35 in attendance. She was able to give $325.00 to each charity.

At her school assembly last week, Amy was recognized for her continuous generosity, academics and involvement at school and was given the Grade 7 Character Award. We are always very proud of her, but we were especially proud of her on that day.

For the front of the pocket card, I embossed it with Sizzix' Tim Holtz Clock Texture Plate. All the cardstock used on this invitation is from Bazzill.

The funky rectangles were cut out with my Cricut Machine. The circles and the clock hands were punched out with EK Success punches. The pull tab on the side was punched out with a Stampin' Up punch.

The "Minute" & "Win It" were stamped out with CTMH's "Atomic Caps" alphabet set. The "2" was stamped out with CTMH's "Precious" alphabet set. The "Good Luck" sentiment is from Stampin' Up's "So Happy For You" stamp set and the word "pull" is from another CTMH stamp set. I still can't remember which set it is and I still don't really feel like searching through 20 boxes of CTMH stamp sets to figure it out.

The jagged edges on the information part of the invitation was done with one of my funky blades on my Purple Cow Straight Cutter.

The the information was designed and printed off of my computer.
