| Folding Paper
My daughter Lyla and I are working on her college graduation announcements/invites. It's a low-cost DIY project. Because she wants to combine an announcement with an invite to both commencement and lunch along with photos, maps, and some decorative elements we decided a full 8.5x11 letter size page would work best. Although the exact folds/dimensions may change what we're working with right now is something of a cross between a french fold and a c-fold (tri-fold). I have a preliminary design but this week we're going to have to go looking at envelopes at a local stationery specialty store to see what's available that's pretty and can accommodate our card before we commit to our current pattern.
