Press Release Body = ESTES PARK, COLORADO - AUGUST 2006 - Opening a wedding
scrapbook reveals a love story in photos, ribbons, a receipt from the caterer, and
of course, a wedding invitation; however, All Yours Invitations is making an
impression beyond those cherished wedding day memories. All Yours Invitations is
contributing 5% of profits from September through December 31 to the American
Diabetes Association to fund Diabetes research and education.

Diabetes is the fifth-deadliest disease in the United States and there is no known
cure. According to the American Diabetes Association, almost 21 million Americans
have diabetes today including 9.7 million women and more than 270,000 Coloradoans.
Diabetes can be especially hard on women, causing difficulties during pregnancy such
as miscarriage or birth defects. Women with diabetes are also more likely to suffer
from heart attacks, and at a younger age, than women without diabetes. Donations to
the American Diabetes Association fund research, community outreach, education, and
programs including the Women and Diabetes Workgroup.

"As you get older, your risk for diabetes increases. With my invitations, I create
personalized, lasting memories for many couples in their 20's and 30's but would
like to continue to contribute as these couples grow older together," says Apryle
Magistro, owner and designer of All Yours Invitations. "When my grandmother was
diagnosed with diabetes four years ago, I saw my grandparents make sacrifices for
each other, changing eating habits which they had practiced for over 65 years.
Watching them work together through the changes Diabetes brings to a family reminds
me of the time-tested vow 'in sickness and in health.' I want my contribution to
couples' lives' to extend past the wedding day, and into the celebrations of
childbirth and retirement."

All Yours Invitations has been evolving to do just that. Established in 2005 by
Estes Park resident Apryle Magistro, All Yours was founded to design and create
custom, handmade wedding invitations. Although still specializing in personalized
wedding invitations, Magistro has since broadened her business impact through an
expanded line including baby shower invitations, thank-you notes, and other
stationery to help couples and individuals express sentiments on their wedding day
and beyond.

At the same time, All Yours Invitations is increasing community impact through
donations of money and time. In addition to the 5% profit donation to the American
Diabetes Association, Ms. Magistro will be participating in the America's Run for
Diabetes 5k on October 21, 2006. The course travels along the scenic paths of
Cherry Creek and Platte River Trails in Cuernavaca Park in Denver. "I am excited to
combine my hobbies, business goals, and personal experiences at this event," says
two-time marathon finisher, Ms. Magistro.
