Lay out your keepsake

Add the things you want painted: a year, a hometown, a mascot, a favorite drink or flower. Each one takes a place on the paper. Choose a size and framing, and see an estimate before Bailey confirms your quote.

Not sure where to start? Load the example to see how a 40th birthday piece was laid out. Drag items to arrange them. Tap one, then drag its corner or use the slider to make it bigger. Bigger items fill the paper faster, and a full paper moves the piece up a size. The dashed line is the mat window.

    Sizes

    Starts at letter size, grows with standard frames

    Each size is one flat price for a set number of items. Up to two more items can be added at $5 each. After that, or once the items fill the paper, the piece moves up a size, which holds more items and fits the next standard frame.

    Each item past the included count adds , up to two. The mat window is the part that shows; the mat covers about half an inch of paper on each side.

    What counts as an item

    One price per item, flourishes free

    Every photo, date or set of words on the paper is one item, whether it is a year or a mascot. Laurels, sparkles, small leaves and one lettered line such as "happy 40th birthday" are part of every piece and never counted.

    Framing

    Wood, gold or black, matted and ready to hang

    Every framed piece gets a white mat. Letter size paintings go in an 11 × 14 frame matted to 8 × 10, and each size up moves to the next standard frame. The frame price is the same for all three styles.

    Framed pieces that ship use acrylic in place of glass. Unframed pieces come on a backing board, sized to fit a standard frame.
