I started my scrapbook experience with invitations, specifically our wedding invitations.  Who wants to pay $500 + for someone else to make them! not me I say. You will see that my style and confidence has increased with each invitation I have made.  They aren't hard to do, just a bit fiddly until your happy with the test product and then production line central all the way. One word of advice.  If you are going to use vellum to print on, print one sheet at a time and allow them to dry completely unstacked.  Otherwise you end up with ink smudges.
