Every year, the time comes when I need to dig deep into my creative side and come up with a novel new christmas card idea. Photography is my hobby and so there is no doubt that it will be a photo card....but oh what to do!?!
This year, David and I were not only engaged, but also married and so it seemed suited that we would use a wedding photo. BUT......nothing is ever that easy in my world. I thought
since our thank you cards were wedding photos, a christmas card would be redundant. So, I racked my brain to come up with something else.
Finally!...an idea. This past season, my fabulous husband discovered that he shares my love of the AMC show Mad Men. If you haven't seen it, it is a sitcom drama set in the 1960's centered around the lives of advertising executives on Madison Avenue in New York City. So, in honor of our shared Mad Men passion, we themed our picture on a 1960's family photo (complete with a Jack and Coke and Cigarette...look for 'em).
The kids are so tolerant of my "slightly-over-the-top" creative flair (between you and I...I think they love it). Everyone got dressed up, we did hair and make up, and set out to make an authentic looking photo. So...here you go.....what do you think?
