After being asked to design a Christmas card for my boss to send out, it dawned on me that I should create some cards of my own. After much mulling over of design ideas I remembered that last year I had taken close up photos of ornaments on my tree, thinking that at some point they might be useful. Once I had found them and brought them into Photoshop I had great fun manipulating the images and playing with fonts to create designs that I liked.

The next task was to decided how to print them. after mulling over the pros and cons of in-house and printing company printing, quantities, overprinting, and many other ideas, I decided to try print on demand. I had heard good things about Zazzle.com, so set to work. The shop itself needs some work, as there are only a limited number of store skins, but determined to get the images up and listed, I thought the shop could wait – though having just seen it again, it can’t wait long!

So, after all that excitement, I uploaded these images:

Then I recalled two other designs I had created, and which are currently for sale without personalization onBusyBoomersHandmadeGifts.com and uploaded those images as well:

I’ll now have to wait and see if there are customers for these designs!
