Re: Want to see my menus and programs?

Thank you for the compliments! I got so many questions so I'll just post here.
I bought the paper at Pick Quik on 110. It is a nice heavy weight. It's called Strathmore Writing Cover Bristol in Ivory Laid. It is 88 pound cover weight so it is pretty thick. I bought a whole ream of 125 sheets for only $15. I set it up in Word. I just set the paper to landscape and made 3 columns. (If you set the left & right margins to .5' and then set the spacing between the columns to 1' everything will come out centered after the paper is cut) I brought the paper to kinkos when I was done and they cut all of my menus and programs (about 170 pages) for only about $6. The font for the headings is called Cezanne. I searched high and low to get it for free, but I ended up buying it from p22.com. The ribbon I bought from Michael's and it matches by BM dresses perfectl! For the menus I bought the little flowers from Michael's also.

I did have one problem though. Originally FH printed everything out at work on the laser printer. But, the whole thing was a waste because the ink didn't really adhere to the paper and it smudged all over the place even after it was dry. So, I had to redo all of them at home on my inkjet. The paper was supposed to be laser compatible, but apparently it's not. Oh well.

jenny they came out great with the ink jet. when my FH went back to buy more paper the person there didn't really know anything. She said maybe it was the texture of the paper and we should try an inkjet. Thank god the paper wasn't too expensive!
