Turning E-Pics into a Postcard STD

I just got our E-pics last night!  Soooo excited!!!

I have visions in my head of how I would like a postcard STD to be designed with 2-4 E-Pics and I would also like to use our monogram.  HOWEVER- I am vistaprint/onlinedesign challenged, so how do I even begin getting my idea out on the screen? 

Do I start with one of their templates or do I start from scratch?

    I made mine in Powerpoint and then saved it as a picture to upload to their site so that I could have the exact layout-look that I wanted.

    I experimented with putting a bunch of different designs together myself in photoshop and then I chose the option to upload your own design. Unless you have a coupon, this usually costs extra though so if you like one of the designs on there it's definitely an easier/cheaper route to go.

    So Maggie.. you created one powerpoint slide, then went "File, Save As, JPEG"? That seems pretty easy to me if that's the case! 

    Thanks Girls!

    <div>Yes-that's exactly what I did.  You'll just have to pay a little extra on Vista Print to upload your own image-but I think it's only like $3-$4 to do that. </div>
