I love the idea of Christmas cards mostly because I love getting Christmas cards. And now that Mike and I have two children dogs it wouldn't just be a photo of the two of us (which is no different from engagement-type photos...year after year). Also, I chose to do a postcard because I AM LAZY and didn't want to have to deal with envelopes. Don't hate. Postcards are fun!
So, super last minute I decided that we would take our photos in my craft room in front of the chalkboard wall. I took some sample shots with just the black wall thinking that I would add some text in Photoshop later. But then I had a *somewhat* crazy idea and just started doodling. Christmas style.
The end result:
I'm not gonna lie and say that this is made up of one photo where everyone looks almost perfect. It's 3 photos put together through the magic of Photoshop. That's what happens when you include dogs in your pics. They move. Fast. Not to mention they were timer pics and holding a 20 lb dog for more than 1 minute gets tiring.
But I love the result and am glad we have something to send out to friends and family this year!
i love it!!
the wall is perfect and those dogs are caaaaaaaute! :)
