the invites...

i just finished delivering the invites & i really do love how they turned out!  Becks was so excited to give them to all his little friends.  he would hide them behind his back until they got to the door & then tell them what it was as if they couldn't see it with their own two eyes.  

i have included a template of the paper i made for the scroll.  you are more than welcome to use it for your pirate event.  i used a free font from here called freebooter.  i really liked the look of it with the theme.  i also added the dashed line throughout the text after i printed one, then copied them onto the aged parchment.  i followed by burning the edges of them before i rolled them up, tied them with red ribbon & placed them in the bottles i got here.  before i put the scroll in, i put a little sand & some mini shells that i got at the craft store.  i finished them off with a little skull tag that i made & a tag with each child's name that i also burned the edge of.  i tied them on with a little piece of twine.(i really had to tone it down, since i am all about glitter & tulle.  Definitely not very piratey!)
