There’s a design application that you just have to check out. Apparently, it has been around for a few years, but I’m just a little slow on the uptake sometimes, so it’s new to me. Lol

The app is Canva.com and it’s a real game changer for making your flyers, invitations and other printed material look like you have a high-end design team!

I’ve been playing around with it a bit and watching some YouTube videos (love YouTube). There is a bit
of a learning curve so you might need a little patience to master. I’ll keep working at it. I hope that you will try it out as well. There is a free version that seems to offer a lot of what most of us need for advertising.

If you’d like some hands-on instruction, please join us for our next Lunch & Learn. See the flyer below. It’s my first attempt using Canva!
Join the Wetzel-Tyler Chamber for a session on learning more about Canva! If you want flyers that really attract attention come a get a jump start on how to make them. Lunch will be provided! Be sure to RSVP by March 26th.
