Apron Template Invitation for the Holiday Weekend.

With the Memorial Day weekend coming up, I wanted to make some invitations.  As many of you know, we have a cabin in Northern Michigan.  On the holiday weekends we usually have a crowd for a weekend of boating, campfires with S'mores, cookouts and family and friends. 

I was at a stamp show this past weekend and saw a template for an apron design.  It was pretty expensive for such a simple template, so I thought I'd try my hand at designing my own.  I am pretty happy how it turned out and I have lots of other ideas for the apron to make it more feminine.  Lace and Flowers maybe? 

Anyway, this has lots of Papertrey Ink stamps, paper and ink on this one.  Faux Ribbon, Fillable Frames #1, Let Them Eat Cake, and Star Prints.  The ink colors are Enchanted Evening and Poppy Red.  The ribbon is from my stash.

Thanks for taking a peek and letting me know what you think.
