Hey, Mari... where do you get them printed? I'd love to do mine double-sided this year. Then I could do a back side with a photo of the whole family. :)

Vistaprint. Its really cheap. I also got them on linen paper. They have lots of options, but its still cheap. This is the 3rd year I have had them do them and I have liked them every year. I'm not sure what's up with your friends, I really liked all of mine.

What size do you like to make your cards? Im working on mine and I can't decide what size I want to do. I was hoping to be done last week but that just didn't happen, oops!
 
I did mine 5x7 and here it is:


I used Winkflash and have for the past couple of years. I used a coupon code for 40% off and got 70 cards (inc. envelopes) for $30.
 
Thanks for answering me on the size, I greatly appreciate it!
My next question... I know I know... Im full of them lately... but do most of you do postcard style or do you do fold-style?

I do postcard style. This year it will be full color front and back.
 
I do postcard style. It's less expensive and doesn't make me feel like I should be adding a personal message to each card.
 
bumpity bump. Has anybody else finished their christmas cards yet? I need to get a pic of the boys for our cards and get these started.
 
Ohhhh this has inspired an idea for me. I was struggling doing my daughters card for her because I was trying to fit all three in one photo and it is not working. I might try something more along this line. My daughter loves what I came up with but I used the photo of the baby only in it and she wants the whole family on the card.

I turned this layout into our card. the journaling is on the back of the card and on the front it says Merry Christmas from us instead of the our year thing

 
I fell in love with the snowglobe as my daughter has been in love with them this year. So I got the template and made one with one of the photos I took. I'm doing 7x5 postcard style. Just trying to figure out the best place to print... Its basically coming down to Persnickety's. :)

These cards are so great! You all are making me wish I was doing cards! We don't really have many people to send them to so we aren't doing any. If we have a baby in the future, I am definitely doing cards no matter how few people there are!
 
Love all the cards here!
@Jacinda: great idea to do a seperate one for the children to hand out at school! *writing down on my to-do list*

I just went with the snowglobe since I only decided last night that I would actually send some out. Also, in the interest of time, (please don't shun me!!!) I printed them at Wal-mart. I know they're not as good of quality, but none of my friends are going to notice the difference unless they're comparing my cards side-by-side, and it was fast and cheap. Mine are 4x6, and I bought plain 4x6 envelopes that I'm going to dress up with a little washi tape.

I printed 10, and I highly doubt I'll send out even that many. I live with my parents, so I can just hand them one, and I'll send one to my grandmother and one to her sister/brother-in-law, but with my grandfather recently passing, I don't have one to send down there, so I'll be lucky if I send out 2 or 3 cards this year...

I have printed mine out at Walgreens before, so I will be shunned along with you! :blink:
 
Love all the cards! Next year I'll be going with two-sided cards again so I can include my newsletter on it. :)
This year I went for our card on one side
