Enjoy The Magic of Christmas - 2013

You may be asking why I am posting a Christmas layout in May - well, I've been scrapping with Sahlin Studio's free 5May14 Template and having lots of fun. This is the 3rd layout I've done in as many days. But on to the description of this layout . . .

This is our 2013 Santa Hat Family Christmas Photo. Every Christmas I try to get a group family photo, change it to black and white, and then photoshop Santa hats on everyone. One day I hope to make a photo book of all the Santa Hat photos we have made over the years.

For this photo I set the camera on a tripod and Melissa held and clicked the remote (see her hand on Logan's shoulder). I think it turned out amazingly well for no one directing us to smile. I even love the (mild) goofiness of Garrett and Adam. Like father - like son.) The first photo we took didn't have baby Kyle as he was sleeping in the house, so a week or two later I set up the camera and I sat on the bench, holding Kyle, and Melissa snapped the remote again. I then photoshopped the new photo of Kyle and I into the previous photo.

I used Sahlin Studio's 5May14 Template and Sahlin Studio's "Enjoy The Moment" and "Melon Sorbet" kits for this layout.
