Have you seen this snow globe?
I follow lots of photographers because of Clickin Moms ... anyway, have any of you seen this:
http://thesleepingwillow.com/blog/sn...eeping-willow/ I am seriously tempted to buy the $20 template to do this for my Christmas cards! http://www.thesleepingwillow.bigcart...e-and-tutorial |

Very cute!
I saw a layout using what looks like the same snowglobe that someone's using as the cover of their December Daily album. http://www.designerdigitals.com/digi...ll&limit=last7 |

Maybe a seriously talented designer could make one up and put in the store for way cheaper than $20????

That is awesome!!!

I saw that same december daily cover thing Kate did - I love it!! That is amazing. I'd love to do something like that!

I thought about it too!!! I saw it and thought it'd be a great idea.
Perhaps there is a designer that could do something like it..................

You can get similar templates from another photographer for much cheaper, Stacie has three different sets and she was offering them for free but now they're only $1 each -
http://www.rockmyedits.com/2012/11/2...lobe-template/ I grabbed them but haven't had a chance to play yet.

I am sure the one I posted is worth the $20, especially to a photographer that can resell to their clients. It is just a little steep for my non-commercial use LOL.

I love this!

I bought the $1 ones and they weren't that easy to use... It was just a jpeg and you had to mask back the picture... I did make the cheesiest Christmas card ever for my mom though. You can see it here: http://marlathrall.smugmug.com/2012/...5380&k=TCQBkqf

I just bought the $1 template but I hadn't seen your post yet Marla! I hope I can figure it out!

Stacie just added a couple more templates with clear glass ornaments instead of snow globes, they're $1 each too.

Hmm... now I want one, but not sure if I want to mess with making the $1 templates worked if Marla had trouble with them.

I think they would be okay depending on your picture. If you had a pretty blank background I think it would be easier. I had a giant tree and I had to try to figure out where to cut it off.

I got the ornament template and one of the snow globe sets. I just tried the ornament one and think it turned out pretty good...
I haven't tried with a color photo though, just a sepia one that, by chance, kinda matched the background. |

I wish this had more of a Christmas background though. I kinda don't see the point in the background it has. Too bad you can't change out the background really easy.

Yours looks good... I think my picture what part of what caused me so much headache. I think it would be a lot easier if it was a PSD file and the background and snow globe/ ornament were a different layer? That might be how the $20 one is.

IMO the 20 dollar one is not any better then the JPG. I bought it thinking it was a layered PSD and it is not. It is a flattened PSD. At least in PSPX5 it is. Maybe in photoshop it isn't. I dont know. I did use it but I dont like it very much.

Now, maybe some talented SSD designer will come up with a lovely layered PSD or TIFF template! |

mom&dadscard by Marla Thrall, on Flickr I bet it would look much better with a different picture though. |

I got the 1$ one and used the snow behind it and then blended a lot on mine. I do like the ornament one too though.

what I ended up doing is lowering the opacity of the photo, slightly erasing the edges of my photo that I extracted so it looks more antural inside the snowglobe and tehn duplicating the photo in a couple different blend modes to get it to look like it is behind the glass but look a little nore natural. Took me awhile playing with it to get it how I wanted it to look. Would have been much easier if it was layered like a template usually is. I guess it might be a little different in PS because Im pretty sure there are more layer styles then I have the ability to use (have about 15 or so in PSP). I cant remember which styles I used now. My daughter loved it which is why I bought it and that is what is important I suppose.

Here's my quick work.. My daughter said it looks awkward! LOL But I didn't spend much time looking for right photo. Just wanted to see if it works:
