Someone sent me this Animated Christmas Card
And You may have received it as well
But here's a poem that I have created,
That describes the story it tells
First you'll see, a Christmas Envelope
with a Pictured Christmas Wreath on a Christmas Stamp
Then it shows a Christmas Village
Pictured mostly green, with an unlighted lamp.
You light the lamp, and the homes light up too
So nice an warm, it attracts the people
A dog walks in the scene, to play in the snow
You play with the dog, and he begins the show
The dog plays a big snow ball
and invites you to play with it too
You'd think it'll build a snowman
but that's what it did NOT do
The dog has built a Snow-Dog,
it's so stiff it needs your magic
You touched the snow dog, it comes to life...
Wow! How did you do it?

| Note: This is NOT the actual Snow Dog by Jacquie Lawson, just another one I found on the internet |
The dogs are now looking into sky
What are they looking at?
They're looking at a bright twinkling star
Which is just above their heads
When you touch the star as prompted
It drops a sleigh full of gifts
And then it creates a Christmas Tree
With lights on every leaf
You touched the sky for snow...
Snow falls... Wow! Merry Christmas!

I have no control over this animation...
and it will be there as long the originator keeps it there.
But don't worry if the animation does not work...
because this poem has described exactly how it plays.

AboutJacquie Lawson
Back in the year 2000, Jacquie Lawson, an English artist living in the picturesque village of Lurgashall in Southern England, created an animated Christmas card featuring her dog and cats, and her 15th-century cottage, and sent it to a few friends for their amusement. Those friends sent the e-card to others, and within weeks Jacquie was inundated with requests from all over the world to design more e-cards. In February 2002 she teamed up with a few friends and family members to create jacquielawson.com.
Over the years the collection has grown to a current total of 165 e-cards, each one showing a degree of artistry and attention to detail rarely seen in the medium of e-cards. Even the music is composed and arranged specially for each card! We now have a range of birthday cards, Christmas cards, thank you cards, and so on, featuring dogs, cats, teddy bears, flowers, and many other subjects.
A modest yearly membership fee gives you access to the entire range of e-cards and allows you to send as many greetings as you like. You can even get a further discount by joining for two years!
We hope you enjoy browsing our e-cards, and if you're not already a member, we hope you will consider joining us and sharing Jacquie's delightful animations with your friends and family.
Behind the Scenes
Each card we make takes anything from a few weeks to several months to complete. Many of the elements of the animation are actually painted by hand (using real paint, brushes and paper!) because the textures and colours achieved that way are so much more attractive than the electronic equivalent. These paintings are then scanned into electronic form, and the laborious process of animation starts. Finally, the music is created to accent or complement the animation.
Every few weeks we'll be giving you a more detailed insight into what the team has been up to. Click here to see the latest news!
All Jacquie's cards use Adobe Flash. Be sure of trouble-free viewing by downloading the latest version now! It's free of charge and only takes a minute or two to install. Click here to install it now.
