  1. Here's the template. I included four versions in that document:

     

    1. The pink/orange background with the outline.

    2. A blank outline in case you want to use your own background.

    3. An outline with the background the brown bottom border -- as I used it.

    4. A sample (my first page) using the fonts/text boxes where I had them.

     

    I used two non-standard fonts that you will want to install:

     

    Blackjack

    Black Jack Font | dafont.com

     

    and

     

    Fleurons (for the little symbol on the side). Just pick a dingbat font you like and put a little icon in between the date/location if you choose.

     

    Let me know if you have any questions. I haven't printed them yet... so I will let you know how the final product turns out later. :)

     

    Hope that helps!

    Boarding Pass Template for BDW.doc

  2. Wow! This thread exploded overnight. Thanks for all the comments.

     

    I would have used photoshop... but my laptop doesn't have it and I don't have the money to buy it again... so I just used MSFT Word (07).

     

    To make the background, I found a pretty textile print that I liked (from here: Indian Textile Patterns,Designs for Fashion Designers,For Housewives) and put it into word and colorized it to make it white. I really didn't think the shape looked like what I wanted, so I actually took two of the designs and manipulated them around to get a pattern that I liked. I used the freeform shape tool to draw the funky wavy shape and filed it with a gradient. I used the snipping tool in Windows Vista to do a "screen capture" and made the two in to one graphic.

     

    To make the boarding pass shape, I used the rounded-corner square tool and made two of them... one long and one short... and put them together. I then made a white square to temporarily hide the intersecting lines. I took another screen capture to make it one graphic and then made the white area transparent so I could put my background in it.

     

    There really is an easier way to do it, but I was ticked that I didn't have the right tool and did what I could using Word.

     

    I'll post the template shortly. The fonts that I used were Calbri and Blackjack (blackjack from dafont.com).

  3. Thanks for the feedback. I was wondering if it was too much information... I have to balance the amount of information because he has a lot of missionary friends and family that don't have regular access to the internet -- so they will need as much as possible to make their choice... I just hope it doesn't overwhelm the other folks.

     

    Thanks for the info on the metalic cardstock. We weren't really planning on printing anything on it -- maybe doing some heat embossing.

  4. Hey Ladies,

     

    I finished draft 1 of our boarding pass STDs. What do you think?

     

    The black dot in the corner is for a hole punch... so you can ignore that wink.gif

     

    I'm working on finalizing some stuff (ahem, actually booking the wedding) as well as one more "response" page ... but I'm not sure what I want the response page to look like yet. Feedback would be appreciated... especially on the letter. I didn't want to dwell on the fact that I know people aren't going to come -- but I also wanted to acknowledge what everyone knows that we know.

    If you have access to a pool, swimming is the best thing you can do because there is virtually no joint impact.

    You might see if you can find an aqua aerobics class. Those will whip you right into shape!
    Aqua aerobics is great... Go with a deep water class for no impact. Shallow water aerobics can have some up and down that can bother folks' knees.

    You can do water walking -- your squats and lunges in the pool -- that will help with strengthening and stretching.
  6. Haven't seen the stage show either... no one sang or danced in the aisles... but it was mostly old people in the showing and they put us in the smallest theater possible. They said 12 of their theaters were playing Dark Knight. Err... yeah.

     

    It was good. I have a lot of the songs stuck in my head now.
