Well, see, we were going with the whole "we live in a Lego world" theme, driven by the boys' images inside the Lego snowglobe on the front of the card. At the last minute before we were sending the design to the printer, we decided that the inside picture should continue the snowglobe idea, so I added snow in photoshop. It doesn't actually snow in the cafeteria, at least not that I've seen. One time, though, I put $20 on my ATM-style food card then checked the balance a second later. $7.75. If that's not a snow job, I don't know what is. —jws</em> o.k., so how did you get snow to “fall” INDOORS??!!!

I know how difficult the annual Christmas card photo can be...two boys of my own and many, many hysterical moments! All of the cards are beautiful,inspiring and heartfelt! Thanks for sharing.

I love the snowglobe on the front and the scripted writing gives a personal touch to the card. Colors blend naturally. You saved the most unique for last.

You have really great shots there! What camera are you using? I'm new to DSLR and I'm still struggling to get the color tones right. Like a deep blue sky even when it's very bright in the day. Keep up the good work!! Hey there! You have really great shots there! What camera are you using? I’m new to DSLR and I’m still struggling to get the color tones right.
