Make a Party Invite for an Alice Themed Party
If you’re planning on an Alice themed party here’s a simple idea for some themed invites. I started by typing up the text I wanted to use on a computer to help make sure that the spacing looked neat. I then copied the text by hand onto a piece of card. Once you have the text laid out you can start by adding the illustrations. … Continue reading Make a Party Invite for an Alice Themed Party
