Don't Kill Me...

[Magick1]

but, I am wondering about holiday photos.

Last year, I think most of you saw what I did for the babester. I used her halloween costume (a ghost) and I put her in this, created a halo and had some fun little snowflakes around her for an angelic holiday greeting.

I need something new for this year....but, something inexpesive that I can do at home.

Any thoughts?

She's so darned cute you don't need anything fancy.
You can just dress her up in Red and plop her by a tree.

Or, dress her in a pretty white girly dress, make tiny snowflakes and flock them and do them up in her hair.

Susie Snowflake! Good idea.

A coworker of mine has this ceramic donkey in her yard. Actually, maybe it's cast iron. All I know is she hates it, and it was left there by a previous owner, but she's not strong enough to get rid of it.

A couple years ago, she dressed her son up in white and brown cloth (sheets?) and put her daughter in blue and white and holding a baby doll, sitting on the donkey. It was the best Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus picture I ever received on a card!

If you want a more ecumenical photo, the same coworker had her children pose in letter shapes. The card was a four-folder, and she had the kids spelling out J-O-Y, one letter per flap, and the last flap said "to the world!" and had the family's names.

Just some thoughts! I'm sure whatever you do will be cute!

That was close to my pic last year....

I love this idea. You could dress her in red and green shirt and leggings and have her pose in all three letter shapes. It would be so cute.

I love the JOY idea! How adorable would that be??

I'm trying to think of a good picture to take of my dog for Xmas. I probably will give up before I do it, however, and ya'll will get store-bought cards. I'm just not that creative!

don't have any suggestions for pet ones...haven't had a pet for YEARS! Sorry.

We took the cats to the photo studio at the mall one year. The photographer discovered that the projected backgrounds don't work with pet pictures - their eyes glowed really weird colors - so we had to have a plain white background.

I got an adorable card one year, the couple put antlers on the dog and just snapped a picture - simple and effective.

Ditto this one . . .but with different outfit/clothing in each 'letter' picture...

I asked the babester and she wants to actually find a brown sweat suit and some of those little "antlers".

She has a build a bear rudolph the red noses reindeer and she wants to make a reindeer picture this year. She had a couple of great ideas. Now, I just have to find a way to make it happen!

Thanks again for all of the help. But, in this, we let the babester choose it (as I know it will be for better pictures.)

Oh how adorable! It's such a great idea, and even better because it's hers!
I think the photo is going to be adorable!!!
