Your photography P.C.challenge #6 of WINDOWS

Having just received a soggy postcard on this rainy summer day, I'm wondering how to prepare a photo post card for traveling in the elements. Can anyone please give me some advice?

How do you turn a photo into a postcard? Is this something you have to send to a print shop?

@JillyStar - you sound like a woman who needs a laminator ... !! :-D

Many photo shops sell sticker backs to turn photos into postcards. You can also simply apply postage and use a sharpie or photo marker to address. You can also mount the photo to a heavyweight card stock, mat board or postcard. The other option is to have your photos printed as postcards by a local print shop or an online site like zazzle, cafepress or vistaprint.

For the question about how to avoid soggy P.C. Handmade postcards are often made by gluing the picture on cardstock (any recycled cardboard is fine) then you stack a pile of books on top of your postcard to make sure it glues well together and also so that it stays flat. When I make collage postcards I use that roll of sticky plastic wrap like the kind they sell in office supplies stores.and protect my postcard on both sides.In our case, water will not smear the photo but for it to not be soggy all you need to do is glue it on cardstock.
