Merry Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas! I had only 2 different Christmas cards this year but I wanted to make sure I shared them here. The fancy one is from Shutterfly and was my first time doing a card that opened up like a door. I really liked it. The second is from Costco and I actually typed Aspen's name wrong on the first order so I had to redo them. Thankfully, they are only $15. I love our pictures this year so it was really easy to make good Christmas cards! You can see some of our previous Christmas cards HERE.

Christmas Cards 2016

I used the family pictures we took early fall (here) to make our Christmas card for this year. I am still labeling and sending them out, but I have them all made so that is an accomplishment! I got the majority of the cards at Costco when they were on coupon and upgraded slightly for the cardstock version vs. the photo paper version. You can get like 50 cards for $35. I also used a couple of codes for free cards from Shutterfly just to have some fun ones. Our main cards I actually did a full folding card which I have never done before. It gave me room to write a little family update and include a picture of the pets on the back as well. For my Shutterfly ones I did one simple card with rounded corners and another horizontal folding card. I really like them all but it helps to have such cute kids in all of the pictures! HERE are the cards from last year. I love this time of year and can't wait to start getting Christmas cards from family and friends in the mail.

This one is probably my favorite, so if you get it, that means I really like you because I only have 10. Haha!

Christmas Cards 2015

I was on top of it with my Christmas Cards this year. We took our pictures back in September so that helps, too. I ordered my cards back in like October or early November and then put them in the mail the first week in December. I got the majority of my cards from Costco while they were on coupon. I also got a couple of fun designs from Shutterfly with some coupons but I only bought like 10 of each. I love Shutterfly but the Costco cards were like $30 for 50 cards with envelopes with the return address already on them so, yea. I don't know why but I just love sending out and receiving Christmas cards. Apparently my brother in law is also obsessed with getting them in the mail but I highly doubt he will help send them out. My mom said my grandpa liked to look at them all, too. I love paper products, I love pictures, I love mail and I love Christmas so its basically the best time of year.  Here are our 3 cards from this year:

This is the main card, front and back, from Costco.

This card actually has a shimmer and is really pretty, from Shutterfly.

I have wanted to do a "review" card for a while now so I finally made one. It is also from Shutterfly and I gave these to people we don't get to see often to update them on our year.
