This year's Christmas card took a little more work since someone was a little uncooperative in the photo taking process. A big thanks to my brother for taking the pictures, my mom and sister for helping to keep Calvin entertained and laughing, and my husband for putting up with my crazy ideas and keeping up his eager sledding face in all of the shots (he was threatened with his life to do so ;). So after combining 4 pictures and a lot of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">photo shopping</span>, I was able to put together something that worked. See below:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFq4rQYxdN_inY24zNvm3lsdDNJ7Fwn1jlhI4U9lsAPUL8S53mBLQjSrbyptDU066x9ykl-U8mnb8kX4CtdLe8RZqbgNJdn6cZOUus5rrLZ0C1d4-_yUpQcumxuO9xiKmMC5i5Sxk5O6n/s1600-h/prechristmas_card1.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOFq4rQYxdN_inY24zNvm3lsdDNJ7Fwn1jlhI4U9lsAPUL8S53mBLQjSrbyptDU066x9ykl-U8mnb8kX4CtdLe8RZqbgNJdn6cZOUus5rrLZ0C1d4-_yUpQcumxuO9xiKmMC5i5Sxk5O6n/s400/prechristmas_card1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5416428319559239378" /></a></div><div>Photo 1 had the most naturalistic sledding poses...I mean what can I expect when we have a sled set up on a couch covered in batting?

Then finally in 4, some trees and more shadows. When that was done I was finally able to make the dozen steps it took to cartoon it, add some snowflakes and words...Done!

So essentially the head was first made out of a cardboard base and then built up and stuffed like crazy. I covered the whole thing in fleece. The eyes nose and ears are made of fleece as well, and then the teeth were made out of felt. The hair on the girl is a wool fiber that I used red hair spray on, and the guy is rabbit fur from hell, with black wool fiber glued underneath the edges to make it look more natural.<br /><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFEIbiqwgwM0Kc2i2w9cevqRaP_CY_Xrb46vSZIrJu6m7T-40idsXylHZBZ4J5B8wpvLqDsVgG-35trjL-cA1oxZDLtIi01MNqFvBw57_XHpyTgB09Taoa_eN2j4JNBWMfeHotRdfjCdG/s1600-h/wiltdthings_masks.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 128px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398807658596704610" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcFEIbiqwgwM0Kc2i2w9cevqRaP_CY_Xrb46vSZIrJu6m7T-40idsXylHZBZ4J5B8wpvLqDsVgG-35trjL-cA1oxZDLtIi01MNqFvBw57_XHpyTgB09Taoa_eN2j4JNBWMfeHotRdfjCdG/s400/wiltdthings_masks.jpg" /></a> </div><div>I was please with how the pants turned out.

It in no way compares to his stuff, but this is my version that probably took 100 less hours to make and was $800 cheaper. The hardest part was getting Calvin to sit for the picture, since he wanted nothing to do with "Santa Claus," even though we tried to show him it was actually Daddy. We got one shot out of 147. All the rest are of him climbing off Will's lap. My sister helped me with my hair, using a video tutorial of 50's hairstyles from You Tube and I'm wearing a bridesmaid dress my mom wore in high school, it's so nice that she saves everything!
