2011 Christmas Card

I previously posted about our yearly Christmas Card picture and now the picture has been transformed into a physical card:



Yes, I couldn't help but break out the heart bokeh filter again. The picture is a little dark because I took it at dusk with no natural light, but it does the job.

This year I had to do something different for card display - in previous years, we had the baby grand piano to use as a huge display area, but it now resides at my sister's house in North Carolina.

I ended up buying several photo display cable / magnet sets - I purchased one when visiting Michigan with friends back in October. The cables measure 6 feet long and hang off a nail or thumbtack in the wall (or in my case, I just taped them to the wall). Stong magnets hold the photos / cards in place along the cable. You can see the cable behind the card in the photo above.

Here's my quick and dirty display area in the house:


You can buy these cable systems at PhotoJojo, although I bought mine through Mishu Designs, as that was the brand name of the single set I purchased in Michigan. I love how versatile they are - you can purchase decorative magnets to match your decor or the changing seasons. I think I need to buy some Christmas magnets to spruce up my display....
