DCD Challenge #176: Frozen Birthday Party Invites

Happy Diva Tuesday.  I hope you are all having a fantastic Summer.  It's been beautiful and such a busy Summer.  Last week, one of my best friends got married and we also celebrated my daughter's 4th birthday.  Like every other little girl, she is OBSESSED with the movie Frozen.  So naturally, she wanted a Frozen themed birthday party.  Enter the Silhouette, some adorable images and viola! Invites!!!!

This week at Die Cuttin' Divas, our theme is ANYTHING GOES!  

For her invites, I used an Olaf image called "Happy Magic Snowman" by PPBN available here. Anna and Elsa are from the Ice Princess Cut Bundle by Lettering Delights. I also printed the inside using the Ice Princess Party Cut Bundle. You can find both by clicking here.  I printed using the Print and Cut feature on my SIL for all of the images today.

Here are my darling little creations....
