Ohana90 has a bunch in her photobucket:

She is not personalizing right now but is happy for others to use her things and personalize them. If you have MS Word...you can insert a text box over the existing name and put your child's name. Here are the instructions for how to do that:
Text Box
• First copy and paste the image you want to add a name, word or words to into MS Word.
• Next make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over by hitting return twice.
• Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert", click on it and scroll down and click on "text box".
• Next, a big box will show up on the screen that says text box...ignore this box but look for your mouse that will show up as an +. Move the +/mouse to where you want your text box to go then left click and drag the mouse to make the size box you want for the area you want the wording to go.
• Then go back up to the top of word and click on "format" and click on "text box" in the drop down menu.
• Look for the tab that says "colors and lines". In the fill section make sure the color box says "no color". In the line section make sure the color says "no line". Then the background will show through behind whatever text you type in the box and there won't be a line around the text box.
• Now you can type whatever you want inside the box by clicking inside the box and choosing font and size.
• If the box isn't the right size you can drag the corners and sides to make it the right size.
How to save images from photobucket:
• The first image that you see is the thumbnail image and you will have to click on that image to open up a second larger version.
• The second image is still not large enough. If you waive your mouse over the image...some gray buttons will appear at the top of the picture. Click on the button on the far left that says something like "full size" or "high resolution".
• Then the image should open up for a third time. This image is the highest resolution image and is the one that you will want to save to your "pictures".
How to download a font to your computer:
Here is an example of how to download a font...this one is called "Waltograph" and is the font used to write "Walt Disney" and many call it the "Disney" font
• Go online to www.dafont.com
• Search, find and open a font called “Waltograph”
• Click on the “Download” button
• Then click on “Open”
• Next you will need to unzip the file. In most computers, a screen will pop up with a box on the left that says “folder tasks” and in the box click on “extract files” Follow the prompts by clicking “next” and “finish” making sure that the final box has a check mark next to “show files”
• A new box will pop up. In this box, copy “Waltograph42” and “WaltographUI”. Do this by holding down your “control” button on the bottom left corner of your keyboard and click each file. Then on the top of the screen click on “edit” and in the drop down box click on “copy”.
• Next click on your computers “Start” button
• Then click on “Settings”
• Then click “Control Panel”
• Then open the file that says “Fonts”
• At the top of the font screen click on “Edit” and then in the drop down menu click on “Paste”
Now the correct font will show up when you open these files. Otherwise, your computer will choose a similar font but it may not be centered or fit the image correctly.
Hopefully you have MS Word and will be able to use OHANA90's GREAT letters!!! Here is an example of one of the many she has in her photobucket:

You might also look in Wendypoohs letters. I know she does invites so she may have what you are looking for and she will personalize her things.

I now have blanks in my photobucket account. All you need to do is download and save the image to your desktop. If you have Microsoft Publisher open a new page.
1. Add image an stretch to fill page.
2. Add text box.
3. If you dont have Walt Disney Text there are free downloads available online
4. and file save as jpg or simply print the design.
Voila. Hope that helps.

I noww have the blanks uploaded so alot easier to personalize for everyone.I am getting to the point of panic. I can't get a letter to download so that I can edit it. So I am not very computer savy. Is there anyone that can do a letter for Anna from Minnie and one for Alex from Mickey .. going to Disney World February 12th and we want to tell them this coming Sunday... Thanks for any help out there. I don't know why it won't work... We are working with a Mac with Microsoft word on it???

You are very kind to do this for me when you don't do this very often anymore. I was up until midnight last night trying to figure something out and I had decided I could cut and paste if needed and take it to a color copier... This is so much nicer!!! Thank you! Thank you!
