Fiesta Invitation Inspired by Mexican Loteria Cards Plus Free Printable

Fiesta Invitation Inspired by Mexican Loteria Cards by B.Nute productions
On one of my vacations to Mexico, I had the treat of playing loteria while lounging in the pool. It was a treat because, a) I was lounging in the pool with a cold beverage, and b) it was fun playing a game while swimming! Loteria is a Latin American game similar to bingo. An announcer names calls off a word (and/or number) and you fill the space on your card if you have it until you win. One big difference, though, is the loteria cards have images on them, not just numbers. I've always loved the look of the illustrations and drawings, and also found the objects/items on the cards to be quite curious. There are typical objects like fish, sun, and moon, but then there are others like skull, hand, and mermaid that seem like pretty unique choices. I guess this is what makes the game so cool for me!

Also, I've included some below as free printables, perfect for tags for a goodie bag or strung around a bottle of tequila for your hostess gift at a fiesta! Enjoy.

It's a Fiesta: Invitations and Inspiration

Fiesta Invitations by B.Nute productions on Zazzle
I love a good fiesta.
I love everything about it. 
I love the food; 
Mexican food is definitely one of my favs. 
I love the drinks; 
who doesn't love a Margarita and nothing is better than a nice cold Corona. 
I love the colors;
turquoise, magenta, red, orange, yellow, the brighter and bolder the better.
I love the decorations;
papel picado banners, mexican pottery, lotteria cards, Mexican cloth,  a pinata and a string of twinkling lights on the patio-- it's all that's needed.
I love the music;
just walk into any taqueria in California and you feel like you've taken a little trip over the border. The music always seems spirited and lively, and puts a smile on my face. 

So it's no wonder why my Fiesta invitations are some of my absolute favorites! With the hand designed oilcloth patterns in the background and vintage illustrations, these invites just make you want to party. I've created lots of options in my shop-- mix and match backgrounds and illustrations to find your perfect fit. Head on over to my shop and dust off your blender-- it's Fiesta time!

Free Printable Design Your Own 9 Hole Golf Course

Free Printable Design Your Own 9 Hole Golf Course by B.Nute productions
Growing up, my family was friends with a pretty famous golf course designer. I always thought that would be a very cool job. It's like designing a board game, with challenges, strategy and rules to follow but you get to use real live nature as your board; grass, hills, trees, rocks, water, sand and more. Of course, there's much more involved than just that. Even thinking of figuring out the irrigation system would throw me into a endless sand trap-- so how about a fun coloring page, instead, where I can just pretend to be a golf course designer for a couple minutes.

Whether you are having a golf party, or just need a good doodle page for those long meetings at work when you'd rather be out playing golf -- here's the perfect free printable for you... A Design Your Own 9 Hole Golf Course. The toolbox of golf course features are on the left-- use those symbols and fill up your holes with hazards, obstacles, and of course a green. While your at it, add any other feature you'd like as well.

Free Printable Vintage Golf Menu Cards

Free Printable Vintage Golf Menu Cards from B.Nute productions
I'm loving anything with a vintage golf theme these days. I've just taken up golf myself (I got new clubs at Christmas) and now with the weather warming up, I'm ready to go! I, of course need some appropriate attire. I wish the vintage styling that I see in some everyday fashion was hitting the golf course as well. It's such a classic look and I'm sure wearing it would make me a better golfer, right? (Ha!)

Growing up, I've watched my grandmother, and now mother get more and more involved in golf. Their "ladies" outings with lunch or cocktails following a game seems like such a great way to spend the day. I'm thinking I should host a ladies golf luncheon myself! Maybe these free Vintage Golf Menu printables I'm featuring today will get me motivated.

Whether you are hosting a Vintage Golf Party, a ladies luncheon, a golf tournament, or any other golf themed gathering, these free printable Vintage Golf Menu Cards are the perfect look! They are blank, and ready for you to either hand write your menu or have it typed (see below for hints on how to have the menu typed.)

See ya on the back 9!

Tips for Creating and Printing Your Vintage Golf Menu Card
If you'd like to have your menu typed on to the menu card, just follow these few steps:
1. Select link above. Go to your browsers File Menu and select "Save As". Save image to your local computer.
2. Open an image editing program, and use the type tool to add your menu items. Create one list, then copy and paste this to the other two. Now print out file, and cut cards.
3. Or, if you prefer, open a desktop publishing program, import the saved jpg, and add type on top of the menu card. Now print out file, and cut cards.
4. Another option is to first print out the menu card (blank) and cut out each card (they are 3.5x7 in size.) In MS Word, create a narrow 3.5"x7" document. Leave a large margin at the top, and at least .75" margins on left and right. Type menu. Feed printed menu card through your printer and print out the MS Word document on top.
5. Lastly, a hand written menu is an easy option as well! Just select link above, print out on card stock and hand write menu!
