Hi there, can I ask that you make one of these for my daughter Taylor, she would be so thrilled.
Many Thanks

I'm headed for a family vacation...no not Disney, but the beach which is almost as good. So I thought I would post some blank letters in case someone is needing them while I'm out of town and away from a computer. I'm more than happy for anyone to use and/or help others with these. What is mine is yours!
If you want to try your hand at adding your own child's name...here is how you can do it in word by adding a text box over the image:
Text Box
First copy and past the image you want to use into Word.
Next, make sure that your cursor is below the image that you want to insert a text box over.
Then look for the tab at the top of word that says "insert".
Scroll down and click on "text box".
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".
Then click on "text box".
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.
Then 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.
Anyone can do this...just give it a try!
If you like the Walt Disney Font, which is the one that I used to add names to most of the letters...here is how to download it:
• 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 right 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 right click each file. Then on the top of the screen click on “edit” and in the drop down box click on “copy”.
• Next right click on your computers “Start” button
• Then right click on “Settings”
• Then right click “Control Panel”
• Then open the file that says “Fonts”
• At the top of the font screen right click on “Edit” and then in the drop down menu right 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.

I know you're OOT right now, but I am in no hurry. I was curious if you would make the Mickey gang one and the princess one for Ireland. I know you said it is 8 by 10. Is there anyway you could make it 4 by 6 or 5 by 7? Thanks so much!!

The ones that I made are 8.5x5.5 (typical invitation size) and will resize down to fit 4x6. The Mickey and gang has a small white border outside of the pink border when you go to resize to fit a 4x6 you will need to make the picture 5.99x3.88 inches and center the picture on the 4x6 area.
When you go to downsize the princess to fit a 4x6 card. I made my picture 5.8x3.75 inches and centered on the page. I had to put one small return at the top of the page to even everything out... There should be a white border around everything when you go to print.
