CHRISTMAS CARD 2007

Thank you so much for your help.. It gives me different things to try and helps me to make a decision - you already know it takes me a long time to decide. ha. I am not sure about how to opaque it... But, I will definitely try. I really do not have to keep the "C" - I was looking on the internet & the ones I liked had the initial... I do really like #3 also... I just thought the photos on the side were too small. I will prob. take the initial off and then put the photo of Kameron in the cowboy hat in b&w on it - the one of her by the tree does not look too good in b&w - that one looks much better in color - then I will make them bigger. I also really like the primary one - and I love the "c" in the middle w/ the red. But, I had no place to put the little tree from # 3 - which I too like it alot... I think it was in a free holiday kit from Shabbyprincess. I did not try the sepia... I seem to like b&w better... but, being the one in #3 of the kids walking on the bridge was so small - I could not see them well - so, thats when I decided to make the card in color... (very late nights... ha.) But, I am always very partial to b&w. Any other ideas... let me know.. I appreciate it. Also, In MM2 - when I am in my album... with all these cards.. If I want to make some adjustments to a card but, still want to keep the original... Can I duplicate it? That way I do not lose the original one? or do I have to start from scratch? I have not had time to read the help menu... and when I tried searching for it last night.... It had alot of letters & numbers... so, My help menu might be messed up... Thank you again... It is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!!! I have looked @ designerdigitals.com - but, I will definitely look at those team designers.. The more Christmas cards I do - the more confused I get. I absolutely love b&w pictures... but, sometimes some of them do not show the glowing eye colors... and sometimes it still does... I am working hard and long hours on this... I want my card to be perfect this year... so, everyones help and advice is greatly appreciated.

I WILL DEFINITELY TRY THAT FONT. THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR HELP IN MAKING MY CARD PERFECT... "IT'S GREATLY APPRECIATED"

Thank you!!! I too like the year in the bottom corner better... but, because I needed to fill up the box @ the top I put it there. Maybe I should change the top left to: Merry Christmas from our family to yours... The Carr Family. Then at the botton right - make the green box a little smaller so I can try to get the closeup's of the kids to looked un-scrunched... and then put: Russell, Jenna, Andrew & Kameron and the year in the botton right corner... I like the little christmas tree on the other layout.. but, it's really too much for this card w/ the "c". Let me know what you think... Thanks everyone!!!!!

I wish I was home & not @ work so I could work on it... ha. I absolutely love MM2 - It's so much fun.. and easy.. but, I don't go to bed until 11pm - 2 am... Thats not good! I was thinking that I could even try the Christmas tree in the circle instead of the "c" I'll post a couple of them once I can find the time to work on it.. Thanks again

THANKS... I HAD TWO LITTLE HELPERS PRACTICALLY SITTING IN MY LAP WHILE I WAS MAKING THE CHANGES. I REALLY LIKED THE LITTLE GREEN CHRISTMAS TREE BUT,IT DID NOT SHOW UP ON THE OTHER GREEN ... SO, I CHOSE THE RED ONE AND OPAQUED IT - THEN I HAD TO CHANGE THE RED COLOR IN THE INITIAL CIRCLE SO THAT IT WOULD BLEND BETTER. I REALLY LIKED THE OTHER RED... BUT, I THINK THIS IS OK ALSO... THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP... I AM NOT GETTING THEM PRINTED FOR A COUPLE WEEKS.. SO, FEEL FREE TO VOICE YOUR OPINION.. AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP! JENNA

I AM PROB. GOING TO DO 5X7'S AND WILL TRY PHOTO TEK IN OUR AREA WHICH ALSO HAS A WEBSITE. I THINK IT'S connect2phototek.com. I BOUGHT MY CAMERA FROM THEM AND THINK THEY MAY DO GOOD.. I WILL TRY THEM 1ST BEFORE PRINTING TOO MANY. I PRINTED ALL MY OWN LAST YEAR.. TOO MANY PEOPLE MESSED THEM UP OR CUT ONE SIDE OFF OR PRINTED THE WRONG ONE ON THE CD... SO, I DON'T WANT TO GO THREW THAT THIS YEAR. I SAW THAT THE LADY THAT DID THE BLUE CHRISTMAS CARD ON THE GALLERY USED COSTCO.. BUT, WE DO NOT HAVE ONE NEAR US. I MAY HAVE TO BUY INK AND GOOD PAPER AND DO IT MYSELF... I'LL LET YOU KNOW HOW IT TURNS OUT. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP..

THANK YOU BOTH... I WILL DEFINITELY CK. OUT THAT WEBSITE... BECAUSE THE QUALITY DEFINITELY MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE IN YOUR CARD.. THANKS AGAIN

Thank you for your help. Is their anything that can be done when the pictures look stretched? I guess it's just hard because I was trying to use all 4 pictures... and their is only so much that I can do... then because of the aspect ratio it messes up the look... when it takes some of it off- then it messes up the look of the pictures. Also.. do you know - can I do the circle shape w/ a photo in the middle of it? Their is going to be an update in the new few weeks.. it will have the option to make a duplicate card when working on layouts if you still want to keep the original one...Thank you for your help...
