I'm not even going to begin telling you or writing a tut on how to make your own invitations. There's a bajillion out there, and believe me, there are people who are WAY more talented with it than I am. To inspire you, though, I'll tell you that I'm self taught (aside from following tutorials) and I just played around with it. A good trick I have learned is to make sure you change your image settings before you start to a high DPI (dots per inch) to avoid being pixelated when you go to print.
Here's the invite to Princess P's birthday in a couple of weeks:
And here's the invites to a jack-and-jill bachelor/ette party Scruffy and I organized last summer.
Honestly, this stuff is cheap and easy. It takes a bit to get used to it, but it's fun. Anybody can do this.
If you decide you want to tackle this kind of stuff, I HIGHLY suggest checking out www.digiscrapdepot.com and taking a look at their freebies. You can pay for a kit or design elements that you are crazy about, or if you're planning to do commercial work with it someday, but if you're just looking to have fun or do some personal stuff like cards, freebies are a great place to start. Have fun.
