on 9/15/2009 This is great, thank you! I've just signed up at a penpal site and will be needing some pretty stationary paper :)

on 1/9/2009 I tried to follow along with this demo of making stationary. I got the point about finding any picture or paper color desired. Now, as a beginner, I find that rest of this demo is too cloudy and unexplained. The woman assumed that everyone knew what she meant by process of print, scan or make as many copies as you want. I really needed to know how you get the print onto the saved stationary. I tried it before and I could print a letter without the stationary or I could print the stationary without the letter. But never together. Also, how in the world do you get the picture onto the desired paper? Again, she assumed we all knew what she was talking about. I would like to her or someone else explain how to make stationary without leaving out the details.

Video Transcript

"I'm Elouise on behalf of Expert Village. In this series of clips I will be showing you how to make personalized stationary. I started out by cutting a picture out of a magazine or you can get them out of newspaper or a lot of cards that you have around the house you can take pictures from. In this case I'm going to write a lady a letter, so I choose pink roses and I cut the picture out and took my glue stick and glued the back of that. I added it up into the corner of this paper, you can add whatever picture that you choose. You might want to do it up in this corner and maybe a little bit here, it just depends on what picture that you make and how you want your personal design to be. So I take that and adhere that and then I'm going to put that in the scanner. Then I choose some marble paper that I want to add to that make it embellish the look to it. You can scan that or copy that, which ever you have in your home and transfer that picture onto the marble paper. Now we have our finished stationary. You can hand write a letter on your stationary and the nice thing about this now, you have your stationary printed and you can make as many copies as you would like and you have the same stationary. Like I said you can hand write it, I'm going to choose to write my letter on the computer and print it out onto my stationary. So I'll just go to the computer and type out my letter, then I'm going to print it out onto my stationary and I will end up with my letter looking like this."
