2011 Christmas Photo Cards

Typically, I hate mass producing cards.  Since I've been so busy and short on time, I decided to make 50 simple photo cards.  Now, I still have a mix of Christmas cards made and every year we always send a picture, so I'll mostly be sending the photo cards to my family.


Every November we go through all the photos we've taken during the year and we pick our favorite.  This year, we picked a picture that was taken during our anniversary.  I ordered my pictures from Walgreens.  I know hot pink and black is very non-traditional, but our picture is only fun because of the pink!

And you have to be amazed with me...these cards are flat!  I typically pay at least $0.64 to mail my lumpy cards, so I'm excited to save on postage this year!!  Well, I hope you all have a great Thursday!

love the photo, and YAY for flat cards, lol!! That was my goal this year - to make the majority of my Christmas cards flat and I think I succeeded. I have a handful of cards that will take more postage or a bubble mailer, but I don't mind that for a mailing just a few. :)

Have a safe flight - see you tomorrow! :)
