Each year around early December I put any thoughts of Christmas shopping, mince pies and imminent time-off work on hold and concentrate on producing my mum's annual dog Christmas card. I've been doing it every year for goodness-knows how long now. Sometimes having a rudimentary knowledge of Photoshop can get you in a whole lot of trouble - on occasion in the past it has created some serious grief. But this year it was straight forward in an almost paint-by-numbers way.So at the end of November I get provided with a photo of my mum's dogs, scan it into Photoshop, delete the background, slap it against a wintry scene, stick the words Merry Christmas above it, add a few snowy flourishes and bingo! All done for another year. It's not particularly to my own taste but my mum's happy. And that's what counts.
