My dog Holly has been the constant character in my Christmas cards for most of her 11 years. This year she got dressed up and added her mug to our white (trash) Christmas card. We forgot the cigarette to hang out of her mouth the day of the actual shoot but it's there in spirit. I also forgot to hang the wreath so that got added to the photo as did the Merry Christmas above the neon Austin. I'm a big fan of personalized cards any time of year and this concept could easily be adapted to birthday cards too. You can create your own by taking a photo anywhere that has the town name in it's sign. Just cover up anything that doesn't work with clipart/ the happy birthday sign etc. City Limit signs are always good. Oh- and I added the lyrics to Robert Earl Keen's Merry Christmas from the family on the inside of our card. If you don't know the fabulous REK- check him out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P37xPiRz1sg
Cheers & happy, happy holly-daze to y'all!
