Christmas Postcards



It took me awhile to get this shot for our Christmas cards this year! Photographing a toddler is certainly it's own art form.

I'm planning on turning these into postcards using a technique similar to this. The plus to creating your own postcards is that they are cheaper than ordering them online and you can ship them for just a postcard stamp if you choose. The only change I'm making this time, is that the photos that I ordered have print stamped on the back of them, so I am pasting a pre-printed note to the back to cover up the ugliness! I'd better get to work on this so they arrive on time!

Thanks all! Actually the picture is just "ok" because of the lighting issues but changing it to black and white helped a lot. Picasa is so great for such things!

Jamie,

I think that photo looks great! Nathan's not even looking at the camera in our card pic. =)
