Photo Christmas Cards

I thought I would post a couple Christmas cards from the last couple of days.  The above card is the "snowscape" design but with a red background and white snowflakes.  It's amazing how when you change the main colour and add a little something extra the card design looks totally different.  What a cutie this little girl is!

The card image below was a custom design request from a friend of mine, can't believe how big her little girl is already.

Both cards have one simple background colour with added snowflakes. I thought these two cards were good examples of how to use props (santa hats, gifts, Christmas tree, etc) in photos. When using Christmas themed props in your photos it's a good idea to keep the actual card pretty simple. More elaborate cards are best with photos with plain backgrounds. When deciding on what kind of Christmas card you want, it's a good idea to think about whether you want a themed card or themed photos. If you choose to have both you will often be left with a card that's too busy looking.  Just a little tip to help you have the best photo Christmas card yet.
