DIY party invitations and photo display

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.
