I'm Catching Hell

I'm WIDE AWAKE at 12:28am trying to design my invitations in my newly downloaded Adobe Illustrator trial! lol. I have 3o days to get this right. {I plan on purchasing it...maybe.} So, I have all of my wording in there, but I can't figure out how to make a pretty design! AND I can't figure out how to get a picture of it on here without having all of our personal info showing. I hate that! I'm determined to figure this mess out! I refuse to be defeated by technology! I guess I'll have to get it tomorrow because I think I want to get in bed and finish watching fine Shamar Moore on Criminal Minds! Someone, PLEASE HELP me figure out Illustrator before I lose my mind!
