I love your invitations, they're absolutely beautiful and I'm so impressed you made them yourself! How did you create the swirly flourishes? They look so professional.

    Thanks! I used Photoshop elements and they have a "custom shapes" option that I used to stick them all together.  I ripped the idea off of someone else so I can't take all the credit, but I did design them so that I could do them DIY b/c the original seller wouldn't sell me a template without making me buy the whole invite, which was out of my budget!  Thanks for the complement though.

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to play around with photoshop and see what I can do. Did you use vistaprint to print them?

    No I actually used a local printer who did them for me for free as a favor.  Because I printed on 110lb cardstock it wouldn't feed through my printer or my mom's laser printer.  I would recommend if you plan on printing them yourself, to use lighter weight paper.  Also, if you use metallic paper, the inkjet ink won't stick as well, so you would probably need a laser printer! I learned all this the hard way! E-mail me if you have more questions :) unionbay7 at aol dot com. And thanks Tiff! I Thought it was time to add a married pic :)
