Maps are great for using when you travel or just to look at and dream. Our son is a big fan of maps and the outdoors, so when it came time to create his birthday party invitations, it was only natural for us to incorporate maps in the design. We created our own invitations using Adobe Illustrator and some card stock paper. Then it was time to create the envelopes. We are always looking for ways to reuse materials, so it was only natural that we would use pages of maps from a beatup atlas to help create the look.Using an old envelope as our template, we cut and pasted and folded, and created our unique envelopes that are sure to attract attention. We think they turned out great.

Button Valentines
Who needs candy Valentines when you can have buttons? Our daughter found some fun Valentine-themed buttons that were perfect for making Valentine cards for her classmates. As much as we have loved helping her make her Valentines in the past, it’s great having her old enough to make them all herself. What are you making for Valentine’s Day.
Origami Fish Valentines
Our daughter received a package of old origami paper/Valentine fish a while back from her grandmother, and she decided to make a few changes before passing out to her classmates. With the help of her mom, who is our resident origami expert, they made the origami fish and then taped them to the card stock. Our daughter then made the ocean themed backdrops, while my wife came up with the fish puns. We photocopied the directions/Valentine on backside of the card stock. Happy Valentines Day from your friends at White Elephant Creations.
A-Maze-Ing Robot Valentines
Why settle for those un-amazing Valentines from the store when you can create your own personal…and even interactive cards. Our daughter (with the help of Mommy) made these robot cards on the computer, printed them out on card stock and attached maze games for their torsos. We think they turned out as the robots say, “a-maze-ing!”
