My son is turning one on June 8th and Im getting frantic because I dont really have a party planned - I think its gonna be more of a BBQ with my family and then the next weekend with my husbands in Nebraska. Im looking for someone to help me with invitations for free - if they have time to come up with something and then I will go and print them - I just need the jpg or whatever they come in...Im soo photography illiterate!

I want something like this ....

Of course for a boy and possibly with more pictures on it - kinda showing how he's grown in the last year. Im still working on the date and time and place but I would really love if someone could help me out.

Oh, and does anyone know where to find envelopes for 5x7 pictures? I was maybe thinking about making them into 5x7 pictures and then mounting them on cardstock with a manly ribbon? I wonder how much it would cost to mail.

Any help out there?!

i've been meaning to learn photoshop for forever!

i know indesign but that is more stationary and i dn't have the program yet :(.

a site that may help you is deviantart.com.

it is a site that artists of all different types go to and there's tons of photo-manipulators on there that can do awesome stuff with photoshop and if you look around and message people, i'm sure you can find someone to do it because they are just artists that fiddle around in photoshop for fun :).

good luck!.

If you would like some lessons on photoshop I would be happy to teach you. It is an awesome program that can do many, many great things. I use it to make invitations for people as well. But to just use it on everyday photos can be the difference on a great photo. I am a member of NAPP (National Association of Photoshop Professionals) and love to watch photoshop tv. I learned quite a bit in college but a lot of it comes from many trial and errors! Let me know if I can help you!

Im quite experienced with photoshop. If you want me to design them for you and/or even take some pictures of your son for them I would be happy to and I wouldnt charge anything. Of course you would be the one to pay for the print costs and what not. :P But I would be happy to help design them! I even have a nice version of photoshop on my computer and then you can just send the pictures to harolds and they could print them out. Let me know! :)
