My boys were playing in the backyard and when I went to check on them I found this perfect photo opp. I ran back inside to get my camera before Joey could climb out of the tree. I then proceeded to take about 100 shots of them playing in the backyard. It was my first opportunity to really play with my new camera that santa brought me. Scott bought me the new Canon Rebel XT for Christmas and I love it. I've had so much fun learning how to use it. I still have a long way to go before I figure it all out but thank goodness for automatic mode until I learn. Here are a few of my favorite shots from the day.
I did find a different background but not overly thrilled with it. I really like the one you have but I didn't want to steele your design. Maybe if you end up changing your background someday, I'll use it or hopefully, find one I like. I didn't know if I could respond directly to the comment you left on my site, so I am writing you back on your site.
I like your pics. Those boys are so cute! David brought me home a gift the other day...A new Canon Rebel XTI! (He said it was a birthday present but my birthday's not until May) Maybe you can teach me a few things, too, next time I come home.
Scott & I have been married for 16 years. We had Jackson in 1999. He just turned 12. After many years of trying to get him some siblings we decided to adopt. We started the licensing process with the state in March of 2007 to adopt a sibling group of foster children & on May 29th we had Joey & Jake moving in with us. It has been quite a whirlwind around here. Joseph is now 8 & Jake is 6. They are tons of fun, very smart & very tender hearted. They love to talk & play & wrestle with their brother. Jackson loves being the big brother & is such a help to me. Then on Christmas Eve of 2007 we found out that the Lord really is in charge of our lives & has a great sense of humor when we found out after all this time that I was pregnant! Yes, pregnant with no fertility or anything. So we had our first little girl in a house full of boys in August 2008. In a year we went from a family of 3 to a family of 6.
And then there were 7... Then in Jan. of 2010 we found out I was pregnant again. I gave birth to Maddox on Sept. 4. We now have 5 kids. There have been many growing pains but it's all been worth it.
I made my Christmas Card this year and after showing a few people and getting feedback they all asked if I could make theirs. So I decided, why not. I am not limited to Christmas Cards. As you see I've done a few baby announcements and a birthday invitation. I could also do wedding invitations.
If you're interested, just email me with your picture(s) and an idea of what you'd like it to say and maybe an idea of your style. I'll do an option or two and email back to you. You get it printed wherever you'd like just like you would a standard photo although if you use Walgreens or Walmart I would suggest doing send out and not one-hour. One-hour prints very dark and doesn't stay true to color.
I'm charging $15 for a 4x6. I can do any size you'd like but there is an additional $3 charge for other sizes. It's best to have your envelopes and check into your printing options before we decide on what size. Any questions just email me at scottshelley@cableone.net. Thanks!
Below you'll find a slideshow of some of my samples. Let me know if you like one of these. Your card will be original but could be similar to someone else's or to one of my samples.

Really cute pictures! Are you lovin your camera! Did you try Picasa?
I'm glad you got the camera. I've had mine a year now, and you probably already know more than me, so now you can give me lessons! Cute pictures!
Cute! I guess I'll have to give up on my photoshop, call it a waste, and try picasa....for free! grrrr.
