Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! I hope anybody reading this is having, or has had, a good Christmas/holiday season.

First, here is the back. This is Meatball. Originally, the card was just green, but I felt like something was missing, and that something was Meatball. I masked out everything but meatball from the photo and it really worked out perfectly.

Here is the front. I posted earlier some out takes from the piggies's photo session; here is the one we picked. You can see Max in the corner, hanging out. Jasper is looking at Max and has oddly pronounced lips. And Blondie is just being happy munching on some lettuce.

We're really happy with the cards we got. They're on nice, thick press paper (130#, I believe). They were printed at BayPhoto, which I'd recommend, and we will be using more of in the future. They have all kinds of photo products, too.

I hope you have a good holiday.

Cute Animal Alert: Piggy Outtakes!

We've been going back and forth on several ideas for Christmas cards lately. We've settled on our idea and will be getting the cards printed next week, when money permits us to. Here are some outtakes from the other day.

This one is my favorite. This is Jasper, who is behaving surprisingly well, for now...



Here, Max is watching from the sidelines. He cooperated extremely well. Normally he'd plop down right in the middle of things. But, he is scared of my lights, so he will usually hide when I bring them out. Here, he is laying right next to one of them, watching the piggies for their mini photo shoot.



In this photo, Max is now on the other side, keeping an eye on Blondie. Even though he looks like he's going to trample the set, he stayed there. I like Blondie's help me! look. I like this picture too.



The last photo I'm going to share is Blondie escaping. You can see Jasper in the background munching on some lettuce. You can see Blondie knows he's breaking the rules by the look in his eye, but by this point, I was pretty confident I had something usable, so we let him wander about.



That's all, I hope you enjoy =)
