One down... six thousand to go. Well, maybe not quite that many.
For this invitation, I scanned the front and back of a Nancy Drew book to get color and text placement ideas. Then, I took some very silly photos of my daughter peeking around a bedroom closet doorway.
In photoshop, I tried (unsuccessfully) to give the photo a more "painterly" quality, and ended up with something not very close to what I envisioned but what I spent far less time trying to achieve. Then, using Illustrator, I created the yellow boxes, text and bar code.
Next, after a simple upload to CostcoPhotoCenter.com, I will glue/tape the two 5x7 photos back to back and mail off in a nice white envelope.
Done!

What a great idea! I can't wait to see how it all comes together.
Okay, this is CUTE. This is going to be so much fun. Can't wait to see more.
I nominated you for a blog luv award today. Tag - you're it.
I don't suppose you would share your template for the Nancy Drew invitation would you? My daughter wants a Nancy Drew party for her birthday.
