Custom Personalized Photos
These samples require Adobe Reader to view. I use .pdf because it allows you to view and print out these photos exactly as they were designed. Most computers have this software loaded already. If you are unable to view these see viewing.pdf files.
Since these are large files they may load slowly depending on your connection speed. If you have a very slow dial-up they may load very slowly or in some cases just bog down! I use the .pdf format because I believe it reproduces very well and it provides a good format to share the work with you. These are designed to fit in a 8x10 opening in a frame or mat. Assuming you have a good printer and use photo paper these should print out exactly as they do for me. You can adjust your print settings to print smaller photos as well.
Custom photos (these are examples of how a photo you provide can be personalized) Note: some of these photos are better than others! I merely use them as examples in regard to how they can be customized. Also on several I intentionally did not use the name if I didn’t have specific permission to do so.
Beautiful Feet - A photo of a little barefoot girl reminding us of the beautiful feet of those who proclaim the gospel.
Church - A photo of my church: (I actually copied this photo off our website.)
Young Family - A young family with children.
What Cancer Cannot Do - A card for a cancer patient.
Graduate – My niece at her college graduation
Senior Couple - A senior couple with a healthy outlook to aging together.

Many of you who are examining this site are familiar with the free daily encouragement net message now emailed to several thousand subscribers and updated to a website daily. I am hopeful that any funds generated by this effort can help support this ministry.
Custom work
You provide a photo via email and an attached file (usually .jpg) or a quality print mailed to me, which I will digitize. Include the requested Scripture or saying you desire digitally placed on the photo. Note: files from digital cameras with less than 3 megapixels will produce a somewhat compromised 8x10 photo. However a 2 megapixel resolution will still produce a respectable landscape image in my experience and depending on the intended use can still be very appealing. For instance a landscape photo at 2 megapixel will likely do better than a portrait.
I prepare it and email back to you as a .pdf (the same file format as the samples above) ready to print on your printer: $5.00.
I will print out the art on a quality printer on 8.5x11 premium photo paper, place in a clear dust cover and mail to you: $15.00 (includes shipping). 5.00 for each additional of the same print mailed at the same time.
Placed in a 11x14 solid wood frame with appropriately colored acid-free double mat, including back dust cover, bumpers and hanger. $40.00 (includes shipping). Please note: The print can be placed in an 8x10 solid wood frame without matting for $10.00 less than the above prices. However it really looks a lot nicer matted and in the larger frame!
Sample - Here is a sample of a print matted and framed.
How to order:
1) You can email me the picture as a .jpg along with the requested Scripture or phrase (check your spelling as I will copy and paste in exactly what you send me prior to formatting). Generally an amount of text similar to the samples is about right. Too much text and it will look cluttered. I will format the text on the page in a manner that I find most visually appealing. If matting and framing is requested my wife Brooksyne will choose the appropriate mat and frame color and style. Also specify how you desire me to prepare it (print only, 11x14 matted and framed or 8x10 framed only)
2) Please send check or money order to the address below. Place your email address on the check or money order along with your mailing address This is also true if you have a photo you want me to digitize. Place your email address on the check or money order along with your mailing address.
3) Specify clearly from the above options what you want me to do.
Use this email address:

Use this mailing address:
Custom Christian Art
495 Kraybill Church Road
Mount Joy, PA 17552
Conditions:
1. I must request prepayment (all above quoted prices include shipping via USPS). I can accept money orders and checks payable to Custom Christian Art. I am unable to process credit card orders.
2. If you have several items in mind I suggest you order one and see if you are satisfied before you order others.
3. I don’t think it’s likely but I reserve the right to reject any request that has any objectionable material (photos or sayings).
4. I really have no idea what kind of response I will get to this so I can’t project how long it will take me to prepare and mail the material back to you. I have a full-time job and surely also want to keep on with my writing ministry as well. Depending upon the response I get expect several weeks from the time I receive the order and the check.
5. I want to use this supplemental income as a means to defray the costs of freely providing the Daily Encouragement Net ministry as I have for many years. I also want you to be satisfied and blessed and I don’t want headaches and neither do you! So please print out a sample of the photos above. If you have a good quality color printer that’s essentially what they will look like in a frame and mat. What I make custom for you probably won’t look any better than these samples.
6. I really don’t want to deal with issues like the colors or the shade of the mat not what you would have preferred, etc. So basically I’m requesting that you consider this a means of supporting this ministry while getting a print or framed artwork that I really believe will be a blessing! Also I don’t want to get into the IRS stuff as far as how much of your cost is a donation, etc. Unless this really takes off I would pay more for an attorney to work this all out than I would ever get in funds to support the ministry.
7. However if there is a problem and you are really unhappy I will just send all your money back for the specific print you’re unhappy with. And you can keep the mat and frame as well.
