Holiday Card 2006

image

I wanted to do a sketch for our holiday cards this year but ran out of time. So instead, I pulled out this photo I took last year of the lights on Fourth Street in Berkeley. I had Photoshop-ed it a bit and I really like the result.

Last week I sent it off to Shutterfly to be made into cards. Wow – they did a fabulous job! The cards came quickly and they look very professional. I had no idea they would do such a high quality printing job. Now I have all kinds of ideas for future projects.

    Nice card! I use Shutterfly all the time and have made some nice birthday cards. Also a photo album. I love Shutterfly. Maybe I’ll post my cake cards.

    Wonderful! I’ve got to get down to 4th street and see the lights–I heard from someone else they were really nice. Also thanks for the tip on shutterfly cards. I’ve been looking for a place to get some made. Did you investigate other options and chose Shutterfly?
