Thanks guys! I have a third one that is a pic of her pulling the Santa hat over her face. I put all 3 on a card from Shutterfly and I think it's going to turn out really cute!
This is fun!

I bought Ty a Santa hat too, but I'm thinking about doing his as a few pictures scrapbooked together for our cards. One of him from the back, nekkid with just the hat on so you can see his cute little bum is in the works. Hopefully he cooperates...

I have loved looking at all your pictures. If this works, I will add more. This is our bio daugther (I still can't post other kids yet), on vacation in Idaho a year ago.

OK - the first one is Idaho again, this is in Island Park. The next one is Yellowstone (it is so much more gorgeous in person). The next one is a sunset at Manresa beach (near Santa Cruz) and the last one is Fallen Leaf Lake (near Lake Tahoe) just last week).

Ok, here's my feable first attempt at layering photos.
 I think I really just need to get out and get more and better landscape/background shots for this type of thing. So that I can get a better "fit" when I match two photos together. And it probably wouldn't hurt to have a better photo editing program (and a better camera . . . and a new computer . . . etc etc etc). So I'll keep working on it. But I figured I post these anyway! temp 2008 1204 photography layers.jpg temp 2008 1204 photography layers 02.jpg

Jalapeno, I'd say your first attempt at layering was a great success!
