1st Birthday Invites
Who did you use?
or Did you make them yourselves?
And if you have a picture, can you please post it?
Thanks

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
I made mine myself. I LOVE making photo cards and invitations! If you're interested I'd put something together for you. Best part is, I'm free! You would just need to get them printed. Image Attachment(s):

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
I used a lady on Ebay(photo) to match my theme, they were printed out at my local Walgreens 2 days later.

I did it myself. It wasn't a great photo. I'll try to find it anyway.

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
I have Photoshop Elements and just use the greeting card templates. I print them as 4x6 photos and mount them to 4.5x6.5 matching cardstock I got in Michael's scrapbooking section.
This is a draft of Sarah's 2nd birthday invite. I'm too lazy to go back to the final and edit out our info.
I've been working on Andy's slowly the past month or so.

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
For everyone that does their own - do you have photoshop or do you have something else?
I would LOVE to try and do it on my own

I use photoshop. If you have photoshop on your computer I can walk you through some of the basic steps to get started. It's definitely not the easiest program to learn, but you can do SO much with it.

The 2 I posted I did in Photoshop Elements, which isn't that expensive.
I didn't have it for Sarah's first birthday, but I did one similar to Andy's in Word. It just didn't have a fancy background. I made the paper 4x6 in Word, put in the text and resized all the pics the way I wanted and then printed them on a photo printer at home. It was time consuming, but doable.

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
I think I might go out and get the Photoshop Elements
I never spend money on things that I want - and I love play around with pictures and stuff like that - so I think I am going to get it.
So after I get it, and I have no idea what I am doing - can I ask all of you for help?
--ok - next question
Are there different kinds of Photoshop Elements to get (meaning versions)?

I have Version 5.0. And it doesn't come with a manual  so I also have Photoshop Elements 5: The Missing Manual.

Re: 1st Birthday Invites
We just used regular old Winnie the Pooh invites for Christopher's 1st birthday. Nothing fancy.
