I know . . . they're very late but they are very busy people . . .so finally they got back to me and we came up with a Thank You card idea. . .

Here's what I put together tonight using the images she suggested for this. I emailed the proof to her this Eve.

This was particularly annoying because I didn't have any kind of filmstrip frame ready to go. I had to make my own (boo-hoo) . . . my crappy, good for nothing, scanner at home does not scan transparencies. The scanner at work does but it was designed by a moron and must cover-up everything except the picture frames themselves . . . etc. .

Anyway I managed to come up with this. I plan on using White House Custom Color to make 125 ($0.59 ea.) of these 5x8 greeting cards. WHCC provides the envelopes too.

Feedback, comments, spelling corrections welcome!

Thanks William. The bride really likes it and wants to use it as her thank you card.

Did you actually find four good pics in a row or can you just drop any four pics into this particular template?

It's not a template. I wish I had one. I actually scanned a negative, cut out the images and holes, and dropped-in my own pics . . .

Thank's Chimper . . .

So i just sent my first oder to White House Custom Color. Iused a basic two part order system that I think they are trying to get away from. I had to use their FTP client software to log-in to their server and up load my order directly. Then I used on online ordering system to actually place the order.

Of course after I go through all of that . . . creating this post makes me think for a sec. . . then I realize that they are pushing another ordering system. It's a script you download. When it opens you get an easy system that combines the above two steps.

Live and learn!
