1st Birthday party invitation

Our youngest son turns 1 in September, so I've started working on his birthday invitations.  I'm going to do a farm animal theme and decided to try a flat invitation vs one that opens. 

I used Animal Kingdom Cricut cart for the cow, Country Life Cricut cart for the pig/chicken and Just a Note Cricut cart for 'party'.  All the paper/cardstock is from my stash.

Of course my printer choose tonight to die on me - GRR!!  But my husband reminded me that I've been wanting a wireless printer, which I have, but now isn't the time I wanted to spend the money on buying one!  :(  So I couldn't print out the cute little poem I'm putting on it, as well as the party info but that will go in the blank spaces.

Please excuse the poor lighting in my picture, while I was trying to get my printer to work, the sun went down and I lost all the natural light for my picture! :( This definitely hasn't been my night but I really wanted to get this done so I could submit it for a challenge!

I'm entering this in the first challenge at Cricut 360º - design an invitation!  Cricut 360º is a fun new challenge blog that started this month and I'm excited to participate!!
