SNOW-MAYS

This is the very first card Keith and I sent. It’s special to us for a few different reasons, aside from being our first. It established the idea of making these cards into self-portraits, a theme which continues to this day. Also, by the next year’s card, we moved to color printing, so this card is extra special because it is the only black-and-white image in the set.

A little later in the card designs, we started featuring a slogan, often a play on words. We also tried to find a way to include each recipient’s name on their card to make it a one-of-a-kind creation. You may also think at some point along the way, we started adding The Rat to our cards, but you would be mistaken. The Rat added himself. You can read more about that on the Christmas Card home page.
