the christmas card

It's almost December 1st and I want to get my Christmas cards out before the craziness of the season starts.  I decided to make our Christmas cards this year.  With beautiful family pictures I knew it didn't need to be too fancy.  I went on Minted and Tiny Prints to get some ideas.  So many pretty cards.  Chalkboard font and gold are definitely popular this year.  So I got creative and designed our cards.  I usually print them off as a photo but a friend suggested  to go to Staples and print on cardstock.  To my surprise they turned out great and not that expensive.  I found a pack of 50 brown 5x7 envelopes at Michael's and bought with my 50% off coupon.  Around $25 for 50 Christmas cards this year ... I like!
