Plan Ahead!!! Order Your Customized Greeting Cards

Would you like a customized graphic of your family group (pets, horses, birds, humans, etc) based on the MWCR Christmas graphics from past years that you could personalize and print to send as your holiday greeting in return for a monetary donation to MWCR? Or would you like greeting cards for other occasions such as birthdays, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, etc? If so:

• Review the Christmas graphics from over the years (linked below).
• Look at some of the samples created for display or MWCR members to give you some ideas of what we can do.
• Feel free to run other ideas past us to see if something we haven't yet done is a possibility. This is particularly true if you want a card for an occasion other than Christmas.
• Send me good pictures of the faces of your pets, humans, etc. They don’t necessarily have to be facing the camera, but make sure that I know who is whom.
• The pictures don’t have to be huge, but should be of high resolution if they are fairly small. If you are in doubt as to whether a picture is large enough or of high enough quality, send it to me for evaluation.
• If you choose the Dickens carolers design, they SHOULD ideally have their mouths open to look like they are singing.
• Be sure to tell us the sex of each pet so that we can dress them in appropriate clothing if that is an aspect of the design you have chosen.
• If you love or hate certain colors, please be sure to let us know. Otherwise, we will use colors that go together well and bring out the features of the pet or human.
• The background color can be different from the examples.  Gradients are nice since they look like the glow from lights, but solid colors would also look nice. Please specify or ask for samples if you prefer a different color gradient. Often we send several images each with a different background so that you can choose which you prefer.
• The finished graphics will be emailed to you in jpeg format, which you can personalize and print on any color printer, or you can use VistaPrint. Upon request, we can also send graphics in PSD format with the layers intact. If you use the iGive portal, MWCR gets a percentage of your printing costs as an additional donation. Eileen Mack can tell you how this is done if you have any questions. That is a win-win for the Collies!
• Email me if you have questions.
