Robot Invitation Rough Draft Sample

Every year I design a set of invitations for a lawyer's office. They always want something creative and fun. They usually come up with a theme (not always the most creative themes) and have me come up with some samples. This time they asked that I just come up with something on my own - guess my whining about not picking very creative ideas to work with paid off. :)

I've been listening to the book "How to think like Leonardo da Vinci" this week. I came up with several ideas but nothing thrilling. So Purrcy and I went and laid out on the bed to "relax" my mind. The image of robot with ribbon coming out of it's mouth popped into my head. I got up and went looking for some toy robots but had no luck finding any. In "da Vinci" style you have to look at the problem three ways. Since I couldn't find the robot, I would have to make. I had robot stamps (Paper Source) and I saw that there is some type of Japanese paper doll folding kits you can buy that look like robot. I decide to make my version of that kit using the Circut "Boxes and Tags" cartridge. The paper strip coming out of the mouth is wound so tight on the stick that it winds it's self back into the head just like a tape measure - which is too cool. I was so thrilled on how it turned out I just had to share even in the rough draft stage.
