To start out with, I created these by using random shapes in different combinations. I recreated the items on the assignment sheet, but added some differences.
I added a background color to the layer and lock that layer so it may not be moved. I add the other shaped on a new layer and text on a separate layer. I took the shapes for the invitations from the shapes page.

GIMP Exercise: Create a Film Strip Using Filters

 The Bengal Film Strip was created by taking a photo of a Bengal tiger and adding different filters to them. After I added the different filters, I added a combine filter to make them into a film strip.

The Flower Film Strip was created by using the same technique.

GIMP Exercise: Sailing Image

I made the image by following the instructions on http://people.clarkson.edu/~hamiltgr/gimp/gimpDoc.html and the rest of the information on the instructions. I made the background with a gradient and the sun is a copy of a piece of the gradient in the water. The sky is also a gradient. After that, I added the boat and the text.
