Christmas is coming! Do you have your Christmas cards picked out? I do! Well, I have the idea all picked out in my head. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas cards!!! In fact I love them so much I save all the ones given to me each year. I especially love to make Christmas cards. Last year's was all digital and this year I'm thinking of mixing it up a little. Here is my idea:
Okay- so I cut out the letters "j-o-y" with my cricut. I cut several layers of cardstock on 12x12 paper cut to fit (the pretty stuff on top) and a heavier back-of-the-paper-pack cover to help make it sturdy. Then I cut some clear plastic from a cartridge packaging to help secure the top of the "O" (a little
squirrel I mean boy will be holding it). Then I took my boys for a photo shoot.
Oh my goodness! Taking pictures of these little squirrels was HORRIBLE! Especially since my 18 month old would not cooperate AT ALL! Even with marshmallow and promises of McDonalds. Thankfully some pictures actually turned out. Here is the best one with all of them:
This is actually a miracle. So I'm going to keep it as a memento of the 1 in 100 that actually turned out okay. I'm not sure if I'm going to use this for the card or this one that I digitally mixed:
I traditionally do my cards after Thanksgiving so you'll have to stay tuned to see what I decide. And if you decide to send me a Christmas card this year you will definitely be my best friend forever!
