Creative Projects: Create a Personalized Mousepad
 
Photo Mousepad

A mousepad featuring a digital scrapbook page that you’ve made at CropMom is something you’ll enjoy every time you use your computer.  It also makes a great gift for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, graduation and other special occasions.


Create a layout for your mousepad


Use CropMom's 8" by 10" landscape canvas size to create a layout that you will have printed on a mousepad. When making your layout, remember that as much as ½” on the left and right edges of the layout could be cut off during the printing process. To be safe, make sure that you don't place words or photos near the edges of the canvas.


After you've created and saved your layout, purchase it as a print-quality digital file then download it to your computer.

Most third-party photo services sell mousepads, and the 8” by 10” landscape canvas should work well in most cases. Check with your favorite photo service first, though, to make certain that the 8” by 10” landscape layout will fit the mousepad. Below, we’ve listed a few photo services that offer mousepads.

Upload full-resolution layout to a photo service

Upload your print-quality CropMom layout to the Website of the photo service of your choice. When uploading the file, make sure that you do not use a fast upload speed, which is the default for many photo services. A fast upload speed may reduce the quality of your image.

Follow the photo service's instructions for purchasing your layout on a mousepad.  In most cases, you’ll simply choose the layout you want printed on your mousepad. Be sure to view the preview before completing your purchase.

Another option: print your layout on a printable mousepad

Instead of having your print-quality layout printed by a photo service, you can purchase a do-it-yourself mousepad kit. These kits include transfer paper and a transfer-ready mousepad. Use your inkjet printer to print your layout and follow the instructions to transfer it to the mousepad. PrintOnIt.com offers mousepad kits.

A mousepad featuring a CropMom scrapbook page serves not only a useful function, but it makes a striking conversation piece for your computer desk.
