It's All About The Journey: Lots To Share On A Sunday Night

Last week I meant to share the invitation that I made for Colleen's surprise graduation party. It is simple and I used the MDS program to make it. If I could have gone with the paper crafting invitation I would have. :)

Here is the invitation.

What I loved about making this invitation was not only using the MDS program but that I could include as much information that was needed. I have ordered invitations and Christmas cards from Kodak and other photo centers and their template made invitations/cards give you very little room to add all of the information that you would like or need to. I made the invite a 5"x7". I added a flower stamp and made the opacity low . Then I sent it to the back. In order to share this card with you I had to take away a couple of last names and the telephone number. I also had to add a thin frame to the card because the background is whisper white and it would not have shown well on my blog. I had to make 30invitations. After I was finsished with what I made I exported it to my flash drive so that I could have them printed out at as a .jpg. It cost me 20 cents per card. I went to Staples and purchased the 30 envelopes that cost me about 12.00 the invitations cost 6.00. Not a bad price for a personal invitation ! At east I don't think it is. :)

Here is a page that I made for a challnege at Soul Scrappers.

I used PSE to make this page. The elements that I wanted to use were not avaialble in the MDS program. If you would like to see it larger please click on the image.

I made the simple Word Art to use as my title. If you would like it for your personal use it is free and you can find it at 4shared.

Last but not least here is the smilebox I made of Colleen's graduation day. I hope that you will enjoy it.

I hope to be posting again before the week is up. I hav something more to share with you but after checking my post I noticed that it was a bit long and I am certain that many of you have lots to do with your day.

Stay safe and stay cool. It seems like just yesterday when I was writing stay warm. But it is been so hot and humid here in NH and I know that it has been very hot in many other places. Thanks so much for stopping by. I really appreciate your taking the time out of your busy day to see what I have been up to.

You're right - it is hot in other places (here for instance) : )
We were at 113 degrees! The wind has been awful too & the poor trees, grass, etc are needing rain so badly. I love your invitations for Colleen! You're really getting to be a pro on MDS! Thanks for sharing your creations with us!
