Midnights With Molly

Whenever my sweet nephew, Luke, sees Elmo his face lights up!  So it's only fitting that the theme for his first birthday party is, of course, ELMO!!  Since I am in love with my cricut, I agreed to do the invitations for his party.  Did you know that cricut makes an Elmo cartridge?!?!  I couldn't believe my luck when I jumped on Amazon and found the Elmo Party Cartridge.
