Where can I get X-mas cards with my birds picture?
Question:
I don’t want to offend anyone here; but, I know there are a lot of people out there who look at these computer generated cards and have but one thought about the sender "el cheapo." I think it’s great when I recieve a card of this kind. I can appreciate the thought and effort put into creating it. I recently showed the birth announcement of a dear friends first child to my sister her exact words were "Oh, this is cheesey." I wanted to slap her and hard! I couldn’t believe we’re related. This just shows you that some of us enjoy these cards and some, given a choice, would rather not recieve what they consider a "cheesey, homemade piece of junk." If you don’t care what anyone else thinks, more power to you! I hope I didn’t offend anyone. Robin C. (RC)

Something to be said for a owning color scanner and a printer–especially when Kinkos charges $10 for a color scan (shoot send the pic to me with a disk and a SASE–I’ll scan it for free!). – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – > Or if you have the proper software for your computer, you can get a Kinko’s > or other copy center that has computer services to scan the photo onto a > floppy disk, and make the cards yourself.

Or if you have the proper software for your computer, you can get a Kinko’s or other copy center that has computer services to scan the photo onto a floppy disk, and make the cards yourself. Print Master and Print Artist are a couple of software titles that will let you use your photo (and other clip art you might have) to create greeting cards, business and personal stationary, calendars, etc. Some Kinko’s might even have software in their own computers (the ones you can rent use of there) that you could use this way. You’ll also need a color printer – not an issue if you’re working right at Kinko’s, since they always have a good one. I bought Print Artist, and I got Print Master as a bonus with another purchase, and I haven’t bought a pre-made greeting card since. Print Master is especially easy to use if you’re less familiar with how graphic design software works. It has talking tutorial information every step of the way to tell you what you can do. — Jenny in NH w/budgies Guy & Missy To reply by e-mail, change "heart" to "hearth".
Any place you can bring your film for processing will be able to have it done. Shar

Some pet stores, like Petsmart, will have a photography studio where they’ll take your bird’s picture and make cards, keyrings, etc with them. I know they did this last year but I’m not certain about it this year. I guess you’d have to ask. Otherwise, I agree with scanning it and printing it.

I just make extra prints and enclose the prints in the cards. Old cards sometimes get filed away. Prints can be framed, put into albums, etc.. Kevin — Kevin Chu URL: http://www2.portal.ca/~kevin/

Another method is to send your film into Seattle Filmworks and they will transfer your pictures to disk. I believe the cost with developing is usually around $4. for the disk and in your first order they will send the software to view and enhance photos. I used this method before I purchased my flatbed scanner and digital camera. I agree with Jenny that Print Artist is a very user friendly program. A quality color printer and special card paper should have you on your way.

Does anybody know of a company that I can send a picture of my bird to and have them put it on Christmas Cards? Thanks in Advance, Bob K. —
Response:
Do you have a scanner or know of one who does? If so then you could print your own on cards you can but at any office supply. (If you have a color printer) If not then most office supply stores and any photo places should be able to do it. Not sure of the cost. Good luck. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – >Does anybody know of a company that I can send a picture of my bird to >and have them put it on Christmas Cards? > Thanks in Advance, > Bob K. >–
