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

jaylensmom 11-16-2010 02:53 PM

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 11-16-2010 02:53 PM

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 11-16-2010 03:20 PM

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 to see more, here is one example:

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.

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

breakingbrie 11-16-2010 05:06 PM

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 11-16-2010 07:12 PM

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 11-16-2010 07:54 PM

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.

Kjersti 11-16-2010 09:52 PM

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

Priscilla 11-16-2010 10:30 PM

awesome stuff....

I should really think about one :D

ashliefreed 11-17-2010 10:01 AM

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 11-17-2010 10:12 AM

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 11-17-2010 12:37 PM

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

Beth Swann 11-17-2010 12:42 PM

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 11-17-2010 07:52 PM

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

Jennilyn 11-17-2010 08:03 PM

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.

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:

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 11-18-2010 02:47 PM

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

I'll be working on ours tonight!

kayce 11-29-2010 10:05 PM

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

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

jessica31876 11-30-2010 12:16 AM

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:

aggiefamily 12-01-2010 12:43 PM

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

Julie Billingsley 12-01-2010 12:47 PM

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

heathergw 12-01-2010 12:50 PM

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. ;)
