while we're on the subject of invitations

i spent a couple hours (okay, more than a couple but i won't admit how many) trying to work out what i'd like the save-the-date (i refuse to use the abbreviation "std") cards would look like. and here is what i came up with. a combination of photoshop and word allowed me to create this. i did the calendar and heart in photoshop and then imported it into word and did the rest of the lettering. what do you think? i think it kind of sets the mood for the event with the "el corazon" heart and the vintage-ish cowboy lettering. it also has those two colors i adore so much. i'm thinking postcard. i will run this by the guy and see if he has any suggestions or objections. but i think i like it. i'm still considering if i need to take out the stars and put in a bit of scroll work instead. also, i'd like to print them on brown kraft paper but i don't know how that will look. which do you like, top or bottom?

i've been collecting fonts. yes, you heard it correct - collecting fonts. i know i collect a lot of things for no particular reason. but this time there is a reason. there are websites where you can go and download certain fonts for your word processing program. i downloaded these two the other day Pentagon and Captain Howdy (respectively). they are the vintage cowboy look that i think is super fabulous. pretty soon i'll try my hand at designing save-the-date cards and other types of paper goods. i'm thinking of using the old brown kraft paper. fun stuff.
