Dachshund Christmas Cards

I am trying to think of something really creative to do on our Christmas card this year. We always just take a picture but I'm really good at Photoshop so I would like to do something creative this year. It's just me, my husband, and our two dachshunds. Any ideas? THANK YOU! :-)

There are a lot of things you can do. I have Paint Shop Pro, but I'm sure Photoshop will allow you to manipulate graphics and pictures in the same way.

You could scan in some pictures of your dogs and you and your husband, then get a graphic of Santa in his sleigh. Put the four of you in the sleigh with Santa as he makes his "rounds." (You could even put each of your faces in place of the face of an elf.)

You could take a picture of each of your dogs barking and then one of each you and your husband with your mouths open like you're singing. Then get a Victorian (outdoor) graphic and put your pictures into it and add what looks like open music in front of each of the four. You could make it like your husband, you and your dogs are out caroling in Victorian England.

Again with a picture of each of the four of you: find a nice nativity graphic and situate the four of you around baby Jesus, as though you are there with the shepherds and the animals in Bethlehem.

You could find a graphic of people opening presents on Christmas day. Scan a picture with all four of you into your computer. Frame it and "manipulate" the graphic and the picture in such a way that the picture of the four of you looks like a gift being opened by one of the "graphic people."

Have a Christmas tree on the front of your card. Take a bunch of pictures of the four of you (and maybe some others of your family or friends) and turn them into ornaments on the tree.

There are a lot of different things you could do like this to make it both unusual and interesting.

God bless and Merry Christmas (early).

Merry Christmas! flashforwardtopeka.com

I need help putting together my Christmas list...I know that this is the wrong section, but i wanted in put from teens...What are you asking for?

What should I as for?
I am a 14 y/o girl, I am kind of preppy and girly. I love to read, I love riding and training horses, and i am very musical. I am already asking for a new cell phone w/ unlimited texting, a new music stand, new riding boots and gloves, and the complete works of Shakespeare and Dickens.

Here are some other things I am thinking about asking for....

*=how much i would like/need this

Back to the Titanic CD *
Gone with the Wind DVD *
Wicked Cd (original broadway cast) *
Nintendogs DS (dachshund and friends) *
Christmas Carol game DS *
New Music stand *****************
LL bean duffel bag (large and small)********** ~the reason i am asking for this is because I am going on a class trip to chicago in the spring and i don't own any luggage....
New moon soundtrack (if it is out)
Celtic Woman:Greatest Journey:Essential Collection CD *****
Braveheart DVD *****


Stocking stuffer ideas:
Pandora beads/charms
itunes giftcards
makeup
old navy gift cards
barnes and noble gift cards
model horses.

PS this list is for gifts for "santa", my parents, my aunts and uncles and grandparents....
please, no spoiled rich girl talk...my family is not rich, and i do my share to help the others, the things on my list each have a reason...the cd's/dvd's/ DS games because we are driving to FL in the coming month.please be kind and considerate...thanks :)
Thanks. Have a safe and happy holiday season.

That's a pretty good list, doesn't look like you need anything else. But you could aask for a charm bracelet with horse charms or something.Tiffanys has some great ones for under $250. Also, you sound like your reallly into reading and really like school, i play the viola, drums, annd i'm learning piano and guitar. You could ask for accessories for whatever you play. I want a tuner and a chin rest. If you like Uggs you could also add those( I like converse a LOT more, you can even custom order them). Another thing you might want is some New Moon or Twilight posters. Oh, and magazine subscriptions like Ellegirl, Cosmogirl, and seventeen. That's all I got.

my family is not rich, and i am not expecting everything on here, but everything on my list is on there for a reason....
yes, i agree, that the ll bean stuff, pandora jewlery, and guitar hero are a little pricey, but if you know where to shop the CD's and DVD's could only be as much as 5-10 dollars....

I feel sorry for "Santa"
