Cap and gown, sheet cake, senior prank, diploma, Open House party, and SnagIt ...These are all things I associate with High School Graduation. And, of course, every Open House party needs an invitation, right? That's where SnagIt comes in!

Ryan Everett, a Sales Intern at TechSmith, created the invitation for his brother's graduation party. Several people asked who the “professional” was that created his brother's invites. Ryan answered, "SnagIt all the way!".

How did Ryan make the invites? Basically he captured two old photos of his brother with the "Ellipse" option. Then in SnagIt Editor, he added text and faded the background. I made a quick Jing screencast to show you how to make a similiar invitation. It runs just over a minute long.

What will you make with SnagIt?
