Get Out the Vintage Ornaments

It’s time to decorate your invitations!

Download these free vintage printer’s cuts for your wedding stationery (there are hundreds).  Use the same image in various ways so that each piece carries on the theme, yet the look is slightly different.  Here are some ideas to get you started!

The downloadable image is black, but you can change the color in your design software.

Oh, you fancy lady!

The Big Picture

You’ve got albums and albums of photos in boxes & on your computer.  Use those photos.  Shape them into a design for your wall!

Inspired by this photo from Creature Comforts.

For your…

Wedding, create a photo board or wall in the shape of your initials using bride & groom photos.

Birthday, create your birthday number out of old childhood photos.

Holiday decoration, create a Christmas tree or menorah out of the holiday cards & photos you receive.  No more piles!

Photo printing tip:  Upload your photos to Walgreen’s photo site, and pick them up at your local store in less than an hour.
