A Christmas CARD Story (complete with outtakes) - Finally my card is ready...well, almost
So I actually took photos of Jake back in October with the intention of them being Christmas card photos... I wanted to be done EARLY this year. Ha!
Anyway, as the weeks went by the pics started to feel "old" so I felt like I had to take new ones.
But my schedule, the weather, and well...Jake were just not cooperating.
Jake has this new thing now where if I ask him to give me his "serious" face, he makes this face where he looks postively on the verge of tears! 
One of my faves from fall... we were actually having a blast this day!
And one of the "old" feeling ones - my current avatar:
More sad face..."Have you seen my puppy?"
Then it got just plain silly
And this is what happens if I tell him his eyes were closed in the previous shot
There was lots of bribery taking place... 
(Again, one of my all time favorites but not sure if it should be on the card or not)
Sugar anyone?
Sugar RUSH anyone??
Anyway...this is what I finally decided on... except for ONE question - the others are not candidates for the card IMO, except for lollipop shot...should I swap one of them for it?
Front
Back
I'm in LOVE with square cards and textures right now so this will be a 5x5....possibly on linen paper.

Honestly, I love the pics you chose for the card. While the one with the lollipop is ADORABLE, I think you can't really see his face that well, so I would stick with the ones you've got on there. Just my opinion.

OH MY GOD!!!!!! He is beautiful!!!!!! He is absolute perfection!!!!!
I don't know about swapping the lollypop pic. I think so, but only because I love pics that are out of the ordinary.
That pic from the back of the card is amazing!!!!! How did you do it? Lighting like that is so hard to capture.
Amazing!!!!!

while i think the lollipop pic is adorable, i wouldn't replace any of the ones you've got with it.
i think you've reached perfection with this card!

I LOVE the card! If it were me, I would have the three pics at the bottom all be from the same day, I like the way it looks when they are different expressions with the same hat and background, plus I LOVE the lollipop shot!

I would use either a sequence of photos on the bottom or I would swap the middle photo for the Lollipop shot. I think it's too good not to use.
If you opt not to use it for your card, I think you should tattoo it on your forehead because you need some way of showing everyone that photo.
Love the textures & the square cards too. And of course, the amazing photos!

Your card is gorgeous!! If you really want to get the lollipop shot in there I would swap it out with the center pic. Great job!!
