Every year I try to come up with an xmas\/holiday card that features a picture of Rich, Buddy the dog, and me.\u00a0 This year I started in June, trying to get Rich to take a picture with our dog.\u00a0 But month after month went by and still no picture.\u00a0 With xmas fast approaching, I decided to take a photo someone took of us earlier in the year at Longwood Gardens and put it together with another picture of Buddy.\u00a0 The snow globe idea obviously isn”t an original one.\u00a0 The globe is a circle with an inner glow, some tinting, and a reflection of light to give it a round-globe look.\u00a0 I used the tree and snowflakes brushes in Photoshop to create the background, did some snow and trees, and used a soft blue brush to paint in the shadows and snow around Buddy.\u00a0\u00a0 The base was some gradients to give a metal look.\u00a0 The wood table was something learned from Bert Monroy in a class years back.\u00a0 I suppose it looks a bit odd with both of us dressed for the summer while trapped in a snow globe with snow.\u00a0 But so it goes!<\/p>\n

Next up, I want to use a similar design but put in pictures of Derry, our employees, and me and make a GloDerWorks card to send to our clients.\u00a0 Hopefully that idea will actually work!\u00a0 It’s going to be tricky since the only photos I have of Anita are ones in which she is seated.\u00a0 That may result a whole other concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
