It's hard to believe, but Jake and I are hosting his med school graduation party in less than a month! Even though we had Match Day and have listed our condo for sale, it still hasn't sunk in that we're really moving in a couple months. So I've been a little slow on this party stuff. We don't want to spend a lot of money on it so I've been making a couple things myself.
I designed, printed, and cut my own postcard invitations. I posted a short tutorial hub about it over here: DIY: Postcard Party Invitations with Microsoft Publisher. If you want any more information about that, let me know.
I've also been working on a photo display. I've been dragging my feet on this. I really have no idea why because I love photos and doing pretty much anything involving photos. I think it's just part of my general burnout. But I finally printed and matted the photos over the weekend.
I used colored card stock, a glue stick, and a scrapbook paper cutter for the mattes. Colored card stock is readily available at most craft stores like Michael's. If you watch for their sales or coupons, you can get a very good deal on it.
I'm going to glue them to a tri-fold poster board display. I need to make a title for it, too. I will do my best to remember to post a picture of it when it's all finished.
