New Puppy Announcement Help Needed - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We have added a new addition to our family. I would love to make a photo announcement to mail to our friends and family as we have kept this very quiet. I have searched and searched to find a site where I could use a picture of Mocha, maybe some paw prints, bones or something with something cute with "Caesar, Harley and Indy announce the arrival of their new little sister Lil Miss Mocha" I did see on one card somewhere the wording our family has grown by four paws and thought that was cute but I can't find anywhere that I can create my own card and have it printed locally. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! If I can figure out how to send a picture of her I will. Well I tried and they are all wayyyyyy too large so it will take some work first.
Thanks!!

I know you can do this at a Sam's or Cosco. Do you have either in your area?

I pretty sure you can also do this at CVS, Walgreens & Walmarts. How about them, any in your area?

There are a couple of on-line places Vista Prints, Snapfish, Shutterfly, Kodak - these websites probably can do what you want, but I'm not sure if they can be printed out locally.

I haven't checked at Sam's but the other's I have't found anything with pet graphics like paw prints or bones. I went this afternoon and purchased print shop deluxe but haven't loaded it on my computer yet. Thanks!

What I did was google images " Baby birth announcements"
There were many and I copied and pasted a pink one I liked and pasted it in Microsoft Publisher. I blocked out the text there and put my furbaby's picture.
and wrote Welcome our new addition to our family and pasted a picture of her. I used cardstock to print them out and made several 4"X6" cards and mailed it out to friends and family.Everyone got a giggle out of it but they all loved the idea and thought she was adorable

I make cards and labels - for something like this - I could probably work something out for you that's about the same price that you'd pay to outsource them - and I'd do all the work for you and print and mail them directly to you

you can see my website here Designs by Villette or click my siggy links where it says CARDS and labels
