the adoption announcement

Hannah Claire's adoption announcement

Last week I finished Hannah Claire's adoption announcements. I'm so glad that I addressed the envelopes before she came home rather than after! I created them using my FotoFusion digital scrapbooking software and had them printed locally. The 4 x 6 envelopes were ordered from Envelopes Express. I'm really happy with the results, and they ended up costing less than a fourth the price of what I would have paid online for 5 x 7 announcements. I plan on making most of our future announcements and invitations this way.

  1. I love it! We have used Fotofusion for our Christmas cards the last couple of years, and I love how I can design something that suits our family (plus include more text than a standard photo card). Thanks for the envelope tip!

    Hope you guys are still doing well and settling into a good routine!

  9. I think FotoFusion is extremely easy to use. I've recommended it to many... and have several bloggy friends that use it now.

  10. Oh, I forgot one of the best things about FotoFusion! You can download it for free. Try it... and if you don't like it... you didn't spend any money. The program will watermark the images that you create until you pay the licensing fee. The papers and elements that it comes with aren't that great, but it's a good starting point.
