My New Love....

Well, this may be an exaggeration - but I just found the amazingness that is Photoshop. Now, that being said, I am by no means good at Photoshop. I think it is a) counterintuitive a.k.a...super confusing and b) super complex. But I'm dying to make some of my wedding stuff "DIY" if nothing more than because I want to host dinners/parties/etc and if I can cheaply make invitations/cards, whatever then YAY!

So - I want to show you my first creation...something I'm hoping many of you will see at the wedding displayed prominently somewhere at the reception haha. Now, I must give credit where credit is due so I want to tell you where my "inspiration" came from - Orange Beautiful from Chicago...they have GREAT stuff, very chic and modern - totally my thing! So after downloading several fonts from the web and spending hours trying my best to match/make it my own (see those sour belts :) ) I'm so excited for the outcome!

This would not have been possible without Kyle's patience...he taught himself Photoshop (don't ask me how) and showed me everything from making a text box (again, it's counterintuitive I tell you) to making the letters closer/farther a part, etc...I can't wait to make more things like this...probably using this as the outline but yay look forward to me becoming more crafty...at like zero cost!!!
