At the Printers

Finally got my cards off to the printers this morning, hopefully to be picked up tomorrow so I can get them packaged up for sale. If things work out to plan that only puts me 4 days behind where I was last year at this time. Considering my xmas muse was late arriving - I tried to book her in for mid October but she was having none of that - I'm quite happy about that.

I ended up with four new designs, just not the ones I originally thought I would. In the end, the row of xmas balls seen below just didn't speak to me when it came time to putting it into card format. Neither did Claire the Christmas sheep (sorry Alison, by next year she should be ready). However, I did manage a humourous snow man and a more traditional bit of pinecones, holly and ribbon that I liked. These two, along with Rudy aka One Cool Dude and this year's Nuki and Friends will round out the class of 2014.

Note to self: images for printing were scanned at 300dpi with contrast increased to 20 in the hopes that the colours will be much more true to life when they're printed. Last year's colours needed to be more saturated - hopefully they now don't come out too garish, yikes. Time will tell.
