Ah, the wonders of parenting — where last-minute surprises are as common as mismatched socks. My little fella casually drops the news about a football party at the local Astro pitch... tomorrow. Of course, the invitation was buried at the bottom of his schoolbag.
So, off I go, racing to my craft stash. I find a football die cut, some ancient gold glitter card, baker's twine, and a stamped sentiment. The result? A quick and simple birthday card, embellished with enamel drops and a dash of parental panic.

And just as I'm feeling like a crafting champion, my wee one says, "Mam, the party's next Sunday."... Well, at least I'm ahead of the game for once!

Fun card! Glad you shared it at FMS!
Wonderful kid's birthday card that combines a favorite sport and some celebratory balloons!! I remember growing up the instant panic my mom had when we'd tell her that there was a bake sale at school tomorrow or it was a turn to bring snacks to the club meeting, etc. You brilliantly handled this 'last minute' birthday party card situation! Thanks for creating and sharing with HQCOLCB for the birthday theme! -- Becca
