Excuse me but what is up with no one sending Christmas cards this year??? Usually my card wall is full and this year I have one single card. What the heck?
I am here to inspire you today to get your cards out.
I tried to order my Christmas cards online. I picked out these two card designs that I liked and was trying to decide which one to order…
The $1.49 each price tag stopped me in mid-click. I need 50-75 cards! Are you kidding me? It is only a 5x7 photo basically! No thanks. I decided to make my own.
First I need the photo. Over thanksgiving, I always do a family picture while at my moms, since we dress half decent for dinner that night and it is usually snowy and pretty there. This year I got an image with several snowflakes over our faces and Ty blinking, but after some editing in Photoshop, I created a workable image…
Then I tried out the image with my versions of both card designs which I made from scratch in Photoshop, using the expensive designs as my inspiration…
The retro one is my favorite, though I like the striped one because I love the verse! I think I am going to send out some of each!
Kinda makes me want to design cards for other people next year. Or, I could even go year round and do photo invitations, announcements and Thank-You’s! Anybody want to be a guinea pig???
But, please, people – SEND OUT YOUR CHRISTMAS CARDS!
You did a great job, I love them both!
ReplyDeleteI've noticed the lack of cards this year also. We've only received two & they both came today. It's kinda sad! I sent ours out this past Monday, so we're all set!
Happy weekend!
it looks like you punched Ty in both eyes, what the heck
ReplyDeleteI did punch him in both eyes. I do it every time he misbehaves. Actually I just should have used flash.
