I am having the hardest time this year with our Christmas cards. I cannot make up my mind, and I really need to design and order them TODAY. :(
 
A friend got me a couple boxes of free ones from work, so I will just be using those. LOL I suck at creative.
 
I'm almost done. I like to mail then December 1st.
 
Haven't even though of what to do yet! I'm thinking of just buying a template or pre-designed card. I never got around to them last year, so I'm hoping to get them done!
 
I shared with Val and the CT girls, but thought I should post here too...I got creative with mine... did the whole Shutterfly thing but the front pic is....
all from Val's creations: the penguin tag freebie (last year on blog), his toybox, made to play, must love dogs, and kitchy camera... and now, I am proud to present... the Young family! Hubby has a business that deals with RC airplanes, I love to shoot, my SS skates, and my DD well... she's my princess....

Those are adorable Andrea!

I haven't started on ours yet, but hope to have them done or close to done by the end of this weekend.
 
With everything going on in our house the last month I haven't even thought about my cards yet... not sure if I will this year. And if I do I probably will just buy ones at the store and place photos of the kids in them... ;)
 
I haven't took her pictures yet to even get my cards done. I plan on going in the morning and taking some shots and just getting some printed from walmart...I am running behind this year.
 
This is ours....I have had it done since this summer...I just need to make a few adjustments pet wise...we have now started what seems to be a small zoo in the last couple months lol...and I want to add some ballet stuff to Moo and Soccer to Bubba since that is what they both have started doing since I originally made this up :)

i am 100% the worst at Christmas cards. every year I have good intentions. it's hit or miss as to whether or not i actually get around to sending them out.
 
I know what we are going to do, but I haven't pulled it together yet. It'll be after this weekend and all the family we have in town goes home. :)
 
I have a draft. I don't like it enough to call it the final version. :giggle

I might have to make a couple different versions to see which one strikes me the best. I figure as long as they're postmarked by December 25th I get credit for making and sending them!
 
no idea what i'm doing yet. two years ago, i was indecisive for so long, i ended up sending out valentine's day cards! lol.
 
Being that I design Christmas cards, I feel extra shameful when I miss sending them out. Last year I had just had a baby and sent out birth announcements, so I didn't do cards, but this year I'm not going to get off so easily. Hoping to get a good family pic this weekend to use on our cards.
 
I went simple this year knowing that we were going to be pretty busy and traveling for Thanksgiving and I like to get mine out early too since I have two birthdays to plan in addition to Christmas lol... I altered Lauren's template to fit the Costco size... they're at Costco right now waiting for us to get home so I can pick them up :)

I'm not sure what I'm gonna do this year.
pre-made? (haven't done in ages, would be last resort if I can't get motivated)
all digital?
hybrid?
I have atleast a few weeks to get them done before my usual send off date.
 
Ooh everyone's cards looks fabulouso! I need to kick it in gear and get to doing mine. I haven't even thought about it yet and I am already receiving some in the mail. I am good about making and ordering mine...terrible at actually mailing them.
 
this is ours and it's as simple as it can possibly get lol
