Image Transcription
A small stack of Christmas cards, a small stack of envelopes with the back facing the camera, and a single envelope with the flap facing the camera.
The cards have a round grey cat holding a dead mouse with a red bow on the mouse in the cat's mouth. The cat is standing in front of a gold and dark green striped background. The words "Merry Christmas" are printed on the card in maroon cursive. There is a white border around the edge of the card.
The envelopes have parallel squiggly stripes diagonally covering the envelopes. The stripes are a repeating pattern of thick light green, medium thickness light yellow, thin light red, and medium thickness light yellow again. There is a path of paw-prints walking across the envelope in the same light green as the diagonal stripes.
The envelope with the flap facing the camera is printed with the same pattern and reveals the flap to be a flat-edge flap with rounded corners
I have wanted to send out Christmas cards to my friends for some time, but was never able to get a festive photo to use for such purpose; so this year instead of trying to convince my partner to take the appropriate pictures, I decided to illustrate the card instead.
As for the envelopes, I realized I did not have access to any A6 envelopes and it looked like it would take a long time for them to ship to me. Originally I was going to cut the envelopes out of standard construction paper, but I realized if I made flat-flap envelopes instead of triangular-flap envelopes, I would be able to cut the card out of a single 8.5"x11" sized sheet. With this in mind, I decided to design the envelope myself as well since I could print across the entire envelope area.
The pattern for the card was illustrated in Procreate (but the text was added via Illustrator). The envelope pattern was designed entirely in Illustrator (including the cutting template). The cards and envelopes were printed on card-stock and cut out using my vinyl cutter.

Alt text: an image of a large silhouetted military aircraft directly overhead, sideways to the camera. The background is a blue sky covered in wispy clouds. The sun is causing a lens flare effect, which is in turn causing the edges of the clouds to appear multi-colored.
I FINALLY GOT IT. Since I got back into photography a few months ago, I've been trying to get a good picture of this sonuvabitch, but I always miss it. They don't usually track military test flights, but for some reason this one was, and I just happened to catch it before it landed for the day. After this shot, it flew out of sight and ended its test flight, but I got it!
Military industrial complex go brrrrrrr, but this is also used for more pleasant things, like FEMA drops and such.
Shot with a Canon Rebel T7, 300mm lens focused at 135mm, ISO 100, exposure 1/250 sec.

Alt text: an image of an Embraer jet airliner banking as it comes in for a landing overhead. It is at an angle with a background of blue sky with wispy white clouds. The American Eagle livery is visible with the red white and blue tail shown.
Man I love living under a landing pattern! Took this last month, and I'm pretty stoked at how it came out.
Canon Rebel T7, 300mm, f/16, ISO 100, 1/250 exposure.

Alt text: a macro shot of a bee diving headfirst into a flower as it searches for pollen. Its wings are blurred as they beat rapidly. The flower is a faded pink color. The background is out of focus.
Took this on my evening walk, figured I'd share with the Internet \o/ Wife pointed it out, "There it is, get it get it!" I'm lucky to have such an awesome spotter by my side :)

A little close up macro scene I put together in Blender! I usually do expansive vistas or interiors so this was a nice change of pace for me.
