I had a great time getting ready for my son’s first birthday party. I choose a dinosaur theme because for some reason it seems my son is always growling at me (like a dinosaur) so it seemed appropriate. I found this great open source software program online called InkScape which I hear is a lot like Adobe Illustrator but its FREE! I used it to create all the paper designs as well as the iron on transfer onesie he wore for the cake photo. Turns out my son doesn’t have a sweet tooth
You can download the program at www.inkscape.org. I was worried about viruses but so far so good. It’s been on my computer now for about 5 months and still running strong. I created cupcake toppers, 2 banners, Frisbee and water bottle and bubble bottle labels. I highly recommend this program if you are looking to DIY your kids next party. It’s a great way to save some $$ and it was fun to manipulate shapes into cute prehistoric animals! Have Fun!
