Just a Couple Edits

This is a follow up to the SOOC post, because my mystery anonymous photographer does a great job in the post processing. Here are a couple of my favorites!

Christmas Card Conundrum: Tiny Prints

If you've read my blog for long... at least a Christmas season... you'll know that I have been getting my Christmas cards from the same place for a few years now and have consistently been pleased. This year I ran across Tiny Prints and decided to give them a try. I'm looking forward to getting my Christmas cards... but first I have to make a decision, and one thing about Tiny Prints that has totally impressed me is their selection. So I'm going to throw out some I like, and maybe finally make a decision in the process!

I'm a traditionalist when it comes to my Christmas cards. I lean toward designs like the Stamped Damask and Mirror of Merriness.

But Tiny Prints has these really cool cards that practically display themselves. Give them a little bit of mantel space and they decorate for you! Seriously, Damask Darling... be still my heart!

But, speaking of displaying themselves... check THESE out! It's a Christmas card... it's an ornament... its adorable!
Royal Ornament speaks to traditionalist me, while catering to
"IT DISPLAYS ITSELF!" me.

But Booming Blossoms is bright and fun.

And I love, love, love hymns, so Angelic Wish sings to me.

Here's the back of it, which I just might actually
like more than the front.

One other thing I've really liked about Tiny Prints is that they offer more flexibility than many of the other card companies I've seen. They have DIY cards that give you the freedom to do your own. This is just one of those options:

And I really appreciate that just about any of their cards can be edited so that the "Happy Holidays" card with the adorable design, which coordinates perfectly with the picture I want to use, can quickly and easily become the "Merry Christmas" card I'm going to use.
