Christmas Card Fun

If I like to do anything, I like to create random things, such as Christmas cards. I'm not saying I'm a professional at it. Far from it, actually. But, I've had fun the past few years playing around with some family pictures and creating a Christmas card. In 2007 I created this one and last year I did this one. Apparently in 2008 I was too busy to create such a card.

I find it very funny, however, that I do this and then we never actually send out the card. Fortunately, a lot of our family friends read my blog, so each year that I've posted it, they've been given a glimpse into our little family.

A few weeks ago we had a girls night at Heather's house, and we were joking about me doing a Christmas card all by my lonesome. Listen, I'm not saying that single girls cannot do a Christmas card, but I personally feel funny doing one myself. If you're single and you send one out every year, more power to you. You are so much more confident than me! So, instead of me posing with Annika, Kristy's baby, and freaking out all my friends and family, I've yet again, played around with some of our family pictures and have created a variety of fun cards.

If you've not heard of the website Picnik, then you are missing out. It's a really fun site that lets you edit pictures in some really fun ways. For the past year I've really enjoyed playing around on it. That's where I did all my editing for the cards below.

Anyway, I just think Christmas cards are really fun, so I thought I'd share a bit of my card making with you. No worries, though, I'll post our real one closer to Christmas day.



This one might be my favorite as it is a correct representation of our crazy family. I love it.




Happy card making, friends!
