There aren’t many photo labs around besides Costco and maybe some Walmart’s that will let you do individual cards from a photo. I just recently realized we have a local photo lab that does this…it’s quick and relatively inexpensive to do.
I just love the idea of doing a more personalized card with my own pictures (and who among us doesn’t have thousands of pictures of their dogs?
) and being able to personalize the inside or just leaving it blank!
I need to go through pictures on my computer but just from my iPad (and the pictures I’ve posted on Facebook) I was able to choose several to do up some cards. I also did a card for my sister’s birthday (not until May) from a picture of her from her 60th birthday party. I won’t post the picture because some might be offended (she’s giving me the finger) but it was a hilarious photo and memory and I know she’ll love it.
Just wanted to let you all know of the options that may be available. Personally I’d rather get a card like this than one from the store.
Bonus for me they screwed up my order and rather than the 4 separate cards I ordered they gave me 4 of the ones with Piper and Finnie in the window. When I went back (40 minute drive in rush hour traffic) they doubled up my cards so gave me 8 (2 of each) so I ended up with 12 cards (they were on sale for 3.99 each)
Here’s the 3 dog ones I ordered.
This card is for our local lumber store…Piper’s favourite place to go. We call it the cookie store so I figured a personalized card with Piper holding the bag would be super cute. The other 2 are blank. I love the card of the dogs in the port window…could be used for anything. The reflections are clouds, it was a sunny day when I took the pictures.
I must say the quality is excellent…I’m so used to getting from Costco but they don’t do them in store anymore and I find you get much better quality from the independent labs than the big companies that do thousands of photos.
