Since then, I really love designing crafts. Making simple things unique and nice!
Last January, the Mother of my friend asked me to organize the Christening and 1st birthday party of her youngest son that supposed to be my Godchild. I asked her what theme she wants; she said that baby Kenzo (my Godchild) smiles every time he sees an owl. That came up to OWL THEMED PARTY.
Actually that was my first time doing and handling that kind of event. So I want every detail to be perfect yet inexpensive.
I made 2 kinds of invitation, 1 kind for the christening and 1 kind for the party.
This was the one I made for the baby's christening. I just made a layout coz we're running out of time, on adobe photoshop cs6 (Pardon me guys, I am not good in editing digitally)
OWL THEMED INVITATION
As usual as we all doing, I searched Mr. Google on what kind of Invitation I will make. The usual results we’re tarpaulin layouts, but I want something different.
