- Graphics purchased at http://www.istockphoto.com
- Ribbon purchased at http://www.jkmribbon.com
- Paper/envelopes purchased at http://www.invitesite.com

LJ-lumpyhead's Hubby notes:
* Graphics were created in Adobe Illustrator and then placed in Adobe InDesign. There are alot of similar graphics on istockphoto.com, look under their Vector section.

* Paper that comes with the invitation that was used. It was cut down to 5.5 x 5.5 cards and then mounted on bazzil basic card stock that was 6x12 and folded in half. All of invitesite's paper quality is outstanding.

* I added a almost transparent pattern (under the graphics and text) to the paper in printing to give it a warmer, more rustic feel.

* We used a home printer. Inkjet HP.

* Most of the imagery was stock pulled from istockphoto.com. I bought the EPS (or vector) images. They only come in one size and you have to manually resize them to your needs using a program like Adobe Illustrator. I recolored most of the images and restructured their layout to suit my design. The internal map I created from scratch in Illustrator. All the typography I laid out in Adobe InDesign. The fonts were purchased from www.veer.com. The underlay was taken from a image of rust I found online. I played with its color in Photoshop and turned its opacity down to about 15%. That way, it kinda looked like parchment when printed out.
