Get The TechniqueHave you seen the February issue of Living? There are so many crafts, recipes, ideas, and inspirations that you just MUST have.
Athena and I worked on a photo cards story—chock-full of creative ways to express yourself via snail-mail and e-mail. You'll see several of our ideas in the Behind-the-Scenes shots below—grab Living and see how they turned out! AND if you are a proud owner of an iPad, take a peek at the digital issue, where you'll see the Behind-the-Scenes VIDEO and other bonus features.
A few shots we took during story development:
1 Shane and Athena—are they a modern-day "American Gothic" or what?
2 My mind is a blank slate.

4 Just another day of looking glamorous at the office.
5 Athena makes a very sweet birthday girl.
6 We recruited Steph for this shot—and we ate that cupcake right after.
And some behind-the-scenes shots from the photo shoot:
1 Liz lent Athena her glasses for this shot and styled her in a trench coat.
2 Daniel instructs Athena on how he envisions the shot.

4 We referred to our inspiration board throughout the shoot.
5 Brian models some of our props between shots.
6 The workstation.
7 Our photographer, Ray Hom.
8 Brian is another Martha Stewart photographer. I wonder where he gets his hair done?
9 Liz transitions from stylist to model, as she sports a pair of wax lips.

I love the thought bubble shot. That's such a cute picture! The big red lips just crack me up- they are hysterical! These are such cute original ideas for cards- I'm going to have to try a few out this V-Day.
