Arrived in DC on a Sunday morning. Just in time for a service at the National Cathedral.

 Then went to visit Ford's Theatre. Couldn't visit the inside beside a "Christmas Carol" was playing. And I thought people just went there to see where Lincoln was shot...

Our group waiting early Monday morning to get in.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas to all my friends & blog readers! As has become an annual tradition, please enjoy one of my very favorite groups, Straight No Chaser. I was so lucky to see them live as a student at IU, and I love that they are now becoming famous! They always have some great Christmas videos - here is my pick for 2009.

It's A Digital Christmas

I used Photoshop and my printer to print most of my Christmas cards this year. I'm having loads of fun playing with some of the House of 3 digital Christmas elements in making all sorts of fun projects. The first one I'll show you is a Christmas image that prints at 5 x 7, I've been able to "print on demand" when I've found myself needing a few extra quick cards this year. I just print and slap it in an envelope.

The second are some photo tags I made using the House of 3 message brushes. I sized them in Photoshop so they would be super easy to cut using my 1 3/4" circle punch. Now that I know how easy this is, I'm planning to start designing more printable images that work with our favorite punches. And you see those faint horizontal lines on the tags? Yea, I did that on purpose. (Not really, my printer sucks y'all).
