BMX Birthday Invites

My boss asked me to make her some invites for her sons 13 birthday party which is going to be a BMX theme.  I only had a few days so this is what I came up with.  I didn't do any embellishing-that wouldn't be cool.  My 13 year old son kept giving me advice.  The inside of the invite is embossed with Cuttle bug and the invitation folder
Unfortunately I don't have all of the measurements because they are on my Gypsy and when I tried to update it I can't get it to disconnect.  UGH
FORMULA
3X5 biege card base-Colorbok
Cricut expression and Dude cartridge(I only used the main cut and the shift cut, I decided not to use the clothing layer)
All other paper-Recollections
Adhesive=Aileenes Clear Gel Tacky Glue;ATG

RECYCLED INTERIOR DESIGN SAMPLES

A few days ago my brother in law who is an interior designer asked me if I would like some old sample books.  Of course, I said yes.  Little did I know it would be a whole trunk full of linoleum, vinyl, wallpaper and tile samples.  The first thing I made was an easel card using a vinyl wall paper .  It is very thick. It is a metallic silver grey.  The bottom of the card is a darker grey
