The first year we were married, my hubby and I used the traditional wedding family photo for our Christmas card. Last year we took a picture in the park with our adorable black lab pup, Percy.
Above you will see the Sanders family's 2009 Christmas card, designed by yours truly. Hopefully I'm not spoiling the surprise for anyone by sharing this online. It's always a challenge to, first of all, get the whole family together then secondly, remember to take a picture, AND finally to have it turn out well...with smiles on everyone's faces.
UPDATE: Merry Christmas from the Bradleys!
Since we got married, my husband and I have been sending out our own Christmas card to friends and family too (our '09 card is pictured above). There are hundreds of fabulous web sites that offer wonderful digital photo card designs. Here are my favorites:
Fine Stationery - of course this stationery giant offers Christmas cards. They carry the best lines of cards. Check it out for yourself. Through November 30, they are running some wonderful sales too. I am loving the Pipo Press photo cards. Some of them are double-sided, and have a fun feel with rounded edges (see below).
Etsy: There is a plethora of photo card options on Etsy. My absolute favorite that I've come across is Less Ordinary Designs. You pick out your favorite design, email a picture and your message to the designer, and they email you back a print-ready photo card for a flat $15. You can send it to your favorite photo processing company yourself (some places print 4x6 prints for as low as $.06 a piece)! I really like the design below from Less Ordinary Designs.
