Christmas 2009

Sorry I've been so delinquent in posting lately! I've been busy making my 150+ Christmas cards. I finally finished yesterday, so thought I'd snap some pics before I started stuffing them into envelopes. I had no desire to move them all into better lighting, so I apologize for the poor picture quality!

I have 4 different prints, but all the same layout. I picked up a Anna Griffin Black & Ivory Fushion Designer Paper Pad, and chose 4 different prints for my cards. And, below is what 150 homemade Christmas cards look like (actually 130, since I already handed out 22 of them).

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Christmas Photo Cards

Just us Girls is calling for Holiday Photo Cards this week. I was so excited about that because I'm hoping to get some good ideas for my cards this year. I have made photo cards every year since my first son was born (this will be the 10th year!) and it's something I look forward to each year. I generally make about 150 of them, so for me they need to be somewhat easy to put together. I thought I'd share a couple of cards from past Christmases. This first one I sent out 2 years ago, but changed up the paper because the paper I used is discontinued, but this one has the same feel.

This next card was actually a reject from last year, but I changed up the embellishments and sentiment. I ended up going with aqua and brown last year, so this didn't make the cut.

A vintage picture, but it went with the color scheme (:
