Anyone do e-cards for Christmas?
Just tossing this idea around. I keep in touch with about 90% of the people on my Christmas card list via email, so it would be really easy to design a digi card and a picture page like I did last year and just send it through email. And then go ahead and send the other 10% cards through snail mail.
I know that is incredibly lazy, but I also know most people just toss Christmas cards in the trash after the holiday (except Becky Higgins and maybe some other scrapbookers ). Personally, I would have no problem receiving e-cards instead of mailed cards, but that's just me. |

I actually would hate to get an ecard~in such a techo age where everyone texts so much it's really nice to get something more personal. Plus I enjoy the the whole process of picking the cards and mailing them out and I am like a little kid when they come in the mail~it also helps me keep up to date on my address book.

I'm actually with Balinda too, even though I am a total tech geek, I am really not a fan of ecards, personally. I designed my cards, got them printed and mailed them all snail mail. I really love getting Christmas cards in the mail, it is nice to get something other then bills and junk mail.

I really like the idea of not generating all that trash, but somehow the e-cards just don't feel the same! Maybe if they were like in Harry Potter where the pictures moved or something . . .

LOL - I wrote that on FB the other day, wishing the pics on the calendar I made would move like in HP. The trash thing does bother me. All that money and time spent on cards, just to be thrown into a landfill...if not right away, some day. Even St. Jude's won't take anymore recycled cards, they have so many (at least last time I checked). I guess I'm just not sentimental about the whole thing anymore. But I still haven't decided what I'm going to do.

I will be sending paper cards this year via snail mail (appx. 20 pcs).
However, I made two digital cards - one for my friend and one for my parents in law.

I think it's perfectly OK.
I feel like I'm one of the few people around who actually send paper cards. In the past years, I also used to do an e-card and send it to everyone (including people I sent paper cards to), as that was the only one I actually created and I liked that particular personal touch about it (even though I prefer paper ones myself). Anyway, there are people who don't send paper cards, who don't create anything and just send a banal e-card to me - but what counts is that they THOUGHT of me. Right? It's the act, not the form that is important. So anything goes.

I would love to do digicards, but none of my family is "techy!"
I may just say -- who cares! I'm going to be me. I think it would be great to make a card and save money and send it to everyone I have an e-mail address for and then print it for the other people. ...if I can find the time.
