💡 Not sure which layout to use? If you're printing at a professional print shop, ask them before downloading: "Do you need a print spread or reader order file?"

✨ Printing Tips

Laser: Laser printers produce professional-quality results with sharp detail and accurate color — 24–28 lb paper works beautifully.
Inkjet: For inkjet printers, use a coated matte or semi-gloss paper (28 lb or heavier) at your printer's highest quality setting for best results.
White border note: Standard home and print shop printers are not full-bleed printers — your program will print with a small white border around the edges. This is normal and expected. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.
Local print shops like FedEx, Staples, and The UPS Store can print your program and will ensure professional color accuracy. Tabloid size (11" x 17") folds to a standard 8.5" x 11" booklet. Standard size (8.5" x 11") folds to a 5.5" x 8.5" booklet — a classic half-fold program size.

✨ Why Families Love This Program

The original poem A Life From a Simpler Time is included on the back — keep it or replace it with your own words

If you choose to add them, fees are charged directly by Canva. There are no additional charges from us after purchase — printing costs are separate and paid to your print shop.

Can I edit this on my phone?
Yes — Canva works on mobile. For best results, we recommend a desktop or tablet for editing, especially when placing or blending the portrait photo.

How difficult is it to edit?
If you can type and upload a photo, you can do this. Canva is designed for non-designers — just click, type, and replace.

Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes — all text colors and fonts can be adjusted in Canva. The background image and overlays are fixed to preserve the cohesive look of the design.
