Wow, Angie, those are great! I haven't taken any pictures yet so no cards yet.

[jaylensmom]

I think I'm going to cheat and use one of Dani's cards...I'm going to try to get a picture this weekend...

Cute pictures Angie you are too organized...

[Amber1279]

I am waiting to get a good U/S where you can see it is a baby LOL. Then I will blow it up to 8x10 and have the kids hold it

[kscwgirl]

Here's mine.. I ordered them this weekend so just waiting on them to come now. :)

Omgggggg Sara!! That is fantastic!!!

I'm doing mine either hybrid style, or straight up paper. I have a few ideas floating around in my head, I just need to find the time to sit down and make it happen.

Thank you love. I can't take all the credit. Meg came up w/ the mouse head idea.

Zora (DeepGirl) made loads of cards, check her gallery (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=8181&cat=500) to see more, here is one example:

[MandaT]

We haven't gotten our photos done yet (I'll be working on that this weekend, at least that's tenative, as long as the weather is cooperating in Eugene).

I'm thinking we'll do something in traditional colors, again this year, maybe a 5x7 folded card, last couple of years have been 5x7 double sided-flat cards w/design on both sides...maybe?!

Ang & Sara those are great.

This is great! Who will you use, Tracy, to have them printed front/back?

[Tracyfish]

Thanks! Vistaprint is who I'm using. They also do the 4x8 cards front and back.

[breakingbrie]

Aw, Tracy, I can't see your photos! Love what I'm seeing so far - I haven't even THOUGHT about how I'm doing ours this year. Last year, I totally spaced out on them, and at the last minute just bought a pack from Target that you just stick a printed out photo into - worked in a pinch, but I wanna make my own again this year.

[Jengerbread88]

We're not doing ours this year. My family doesn't do cards, and my boyfriend and I live separately, so I think it's weird for us to send out cards together.

[newfiemountiewife]

Here is mine. They are on their way to me, I used WHCC and got the pearl finish. It's a 5x7 folded card, and I think the pearl will be wicked with the black and whites.

Beautiful Jamie!

[Kjersti]

Love them all!! I need to get some photos taken!!

[Priscilla]

awesome stuff....

I should really think about one :D

[ashliefreed]

Here's ours. Since I am new to the digital part of scrapbooking I decided to show it off, maybe I went a little over board, but I like how they turned out.

[kayce]

Oh, I love everybodys cards. Please show more. I am feeling motivated now since the photographer delivered our disc from our recent family photo shoot. I can't wait to get mine done too:)

That is going to look amazing on pearl finish!!

[wvasweetness]

Just clicked "ORDER" on mine at WHCC - can't wait to get them!

[Beth Swann]

Thanks for the great ideas, everyone!

This is what I had planned on using. But now that we're re-taking pictures, it might change if I like the new pictures better. ;)

[MissKim]

Can I suggest that there are free downloadable cards over at Becky Higgins' blog (http://www.beckyhiggins.com/blog)? She had a contest and picked 4 designs... and maybe one of them was mine!

[Jennilyn]

Mine uses a graphic by Meredith Fenwick from last year. I added an extra child reindeer to make it look like our family :) I printed a 4x6 folded card at Vistaprint and had our updated printed on the inside.

[adrianka]

I have made a batch of 20 cards as well, even though they're generic rather than personal.

Here be one example, the rest is to be found in my gallery (https://www.sweetshoppecommunity.com/gallery/showgallery.php?ppuser=8316&cat=500):

[suladesign]

We don't do family Christmas cards where I am from, but I just started on making some general hybrid ones to send to friends and family. Even did a tutorial on one of them on my blog today using KCB's "Joy to the World" and plan to do more tutorials for Christmas cards on a weekly basis up until about Christmas.

[tettletop20]

I'm loving all that I see! Seriously ladies!!!

I'll be working on ours tonight!

[kayce]

Hooray...I just finished my cards tonight. This thread actually motivated me seeing everyone's neat cards. I don't usually do cards because I am so lazy but not this year. We did family pics a few weeks ago and then I finally got time to do my cards and order them. I am feeling very proud of myself. Its a 5x7 folded card (landscape). Below is just the front cover, I was feeling too lazy to upload the rest. :o

[lovely1m]

I plan to use one of the brag book pages from KCB's collection from last week. Just need to get some pictures.

[jessica31876]

here is what I used last year for ours. Have not done one yet this year. I made the layout then cropped it to make the card:

Love the camo Amanda!!!

[aggiefamily]

Thanks Tracy! I decided to stick with the truth instead of dressing them up all nice.

[Julie Billingsley]

Amanda, that is gorgeous!! It makes my heart so happy to see your card with my kit!

[taracotta7]

Awesome!!!! All these cards are motivating me! I am loving the two sided and tri-fold cards. I am going to have to get busy! Off to play in PSE! :)

[aggiefamily]

Amanda, that is gorgeous!! It makes my heart so happy to see your card with my kit!

Thank you Julie! I was waiting on the right kit and yours was it! It is a gorgeous kit and perfect for a boy Christmas.

I'm going cheap this year - 4x6 photos printed at Costco. I need to get them ordered before I change my mind and do something fancier. You know, in my spare time. ;)

[ColleenSwerb]

I just LOVE seeing all these cards!!
I'm hand making ours, which is naturally taking me forever and I waited far too late to start them, lol. But, I really like them, so it'll be worth it. I'll snap some pictures soon to share. :)

[ajf9597]

Here's ours:

Angel - I love your card! I may have to "borrow" that idea next year.

Here is mine. Photography and design are all my own (didn't even use digi stuffs)

Here is mine using Dani's Alot like Christmas kit and a sample card idea from the card set. I also used the kit in our annual letter. I got myself into doing both- next year I will be back to only doing a photocard!

I ended up changing mine after all. They look much more clear when not shrunken, though.

Love all the cards and inspiration in this thread! :thumbup:

Here's ours:

Beautiful cards!!! Thank you for sharing. I was stuck in a rut and hadn't done our card yet but got some great ideas thanks to you all!
