I know how to use PP but I have no idea how to make this. How do you get the fancy fonts?

Make three or however many text boxes you need & put your letters/name in there and then layer them on top of each other as you want...

Fancy fonts - there are some free websites you can get them from - but there are some decent script fonts already in PP...

Re: Monograms

One thing to note - when you save it - make sure you save as Jpeg or TIF - most programs if you are going to upload will REQUIRE the file names be that!!!

Re: Monograms

It looks great!

You can also add images, etc....and shadow them in the background if you want.. PP is a great tool for this!

Maybe on the menu - only do the names...or just initials..no date needed. But - this is only my opinion!!!!!

We wound up using the monogram i created on our favor cookies! They came out sooo good!

I have done a lot for other brides. I use Photoshop CS3. You can see them in my album. Let me know if you see something you like.
