Guide Review - PictureItPostage - Custom-Made Postage Stamps

With the popularity of photo greeting cards and other customized items, personalized postage stamps is an obvious next-step for using your own photos creatively. The folks at Endicia have made it possible to do just that.

To make your own custom stamps, you simple need to visit their web site. In as few as three clicks of your mouse button, your stamps can be on their way to you. Of course, you have to use pictures which are suitable for all ages to view, plus you have to follow other USPS guidelines (you can find all of the photo guidelines on the PictureItPostage Web site).

Besides adding your own pictures to a stamp, you can choose the background color and font color you like and play around with some layout options. If you need to edit your photos, they even offer free software you can download and use. One of the nice features is that you can choose different values for your stamps, depending on the size of the envelope or package you are mailing.

For some with a tight budget, the cost of $17.95 plus shipping for twenty .41 cent stamps (which comes in two sheets of 10) may be too much; but, for those of us who like to add creative, personal touches to everything we do, these are the perfect finishing touch.
