Thank you so much you guys! I was really excited when this came together.

I came up with the concept myself. My real bulletin/inspiration board resembles this. I am not too snazzy with photoshop or any other graphics programming so I hired someone local. She has been great to work with and has really caught on to my attitude and persona of my business.

I'm completely jealous. I'd steal the entire idea if I was any good at photoshop myself. LOL. We must be kindred spirits! I honestly could not have come up with any idea that better represents who I am. My favorite is the torn off strip of loose-leaf paper taped to the frame at the top. That is just about exactly what my board looks like right now...

(Okay, I am done gushing... I just sooo relate to that whole theme, HAHAA!)

great post cards wish I had seened these before I ordered my flyers...ohh well maybe next time.

I downloaded a 30 dayfree trial of Corel Photo Pro x3 and created a postcard. It is kind of like photoshop but not as good but I was able to create the postcard, flyer and brochure with it. This is the front of my postcard...



I had them made through VistaPrint when they had the 100 free promotion and on the back I put my contact info on the back.

Tanya that is awesome, good idea about doing a free trial...hummm maybe I can give this a go. Thanks

Yeah, instead of paying for the expensive program just try and bang out all of your promotional material in that 30 day period they give you. They will also send you an e-mail with a special offer to buy the program for $50 towards the end of the trial but I didn't have the money at the time to get it.

Okay, so who designed them for you? I would like to have some made like that!

I found a wallpaper I liked on google images and kind of elaborated on it with all of the purple circle frames.

Great postcards everyone!
Who do you ordered from and did you use a template?
Thanks so much!

I ordered from Vistaprint because I keep getting email offers for 100 free postcards. I didn't use any of their templates. I used the Corel program to create it and Vistaprint has the option to upload your own design.

Thanks Tanya! OMGosh, Is that Corel Draw program? Have not used that program since I went to school...ages ago LOL So they have that program on vista print? I have to go check it out now

I downloaded a 30 day free trial of Corel Photo Pro x3. It's a program that Corel made to be alot like Adobe Photoshop. Not as good but you can still get alot of cool stuff done that you can't do with the Paint program on your computer. Then I would upload the final design on Vistaprint.

You can download the free trial here: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/us/en/Product/1208530085925#versionTabview=tab1&tabview=tab7

Thanks so much!
