Christmas Card Play 2010

I am a Struggling Photoshop Beginner.

But oooooh the Potential!!!

Here is my Family Christmas Card 2010.

I usually try and be funny every year.

The emphasis here is on the word Try.

teehee

The attempt above was probably #125.

I hate that Magic Wand.

I think it is Evil. A Necessary Evil, tho.

You can see the sucky gaps above.

This is The Card I settled on.

Around me you see that section of the photo that Evil Magic Wand missed.

Or maybe I just wanted to be the center of attention.

Again.

teehee

 I learned how to lighten the background so the Font is actually visible.

But I won't Remember How tomorrow.

I'm Hand Delivering these tomorrow so No Spoiler Post.

Happy Thanksgiving.

I am Grateful.
