Design Crafters

As parents we often envision the “perfect” pictures for our photo Christmas cards and think we know how it’s going to turn out. We even plan everything around making that vision happen and then nothing seems to go the way it “should have”.  Unfortunately children aren’t always predictable and can be very disagreeable. They seem to have their own idea as to how things should be done. Fortunately we parents have a choice. We can either see it as a disaster and let it ruin our mood, or we can get creative and make the best of it. Just as this mother did in the following example.
 
The plan was to take separate pictures of both her toddler girl and her baby son, then combine them on the same photo Christmas cards. These two kids were apparently very tired, hungry and not in the mood to pose. Every picture had a pout without fail. Instead of getting frustrated, mom decided to make the best of it by taking the most poutiest pictures, put them on the photo Christmas card and wrote the famous Christmas saying “better not pout”. The cards turned out to be a hit.

So now you know what you can do if your pictures don’t work out the way you thought.

Have fun.
