Christmas Cards

I still don't have ours done yet. I am trying to wait on pictures but I'm thinking I might go sans picture this year.
 
Here's mine. The photo is a temporary placeholder. We're not decorating until Saturday so I'll swap it out with a photo from this year after that. Since I've decided to send "green" Christmas cards this year (emailing instead of mailing), I don't have to worry about printing them.

Here is mine... It wasn't until I went to make them that I realized I hadn't taken even one group shot of our kids this year... ::bad mom:: Anyway, I made them 4x6 and went the super-fast, super-cheap way out... One-Hour Photo @ CVS. And aside from being a little on the thin side, the photo quality surprised me! (especially for $0.10 ea)

Oh, let me add the downside to my "cheap" route - it's hard to find 4x6 envelopes and I didn't want to order them and have to wait. I ended up at Michael's paying twice for the envelopes than what I did for the cards! Live & learn... lol

Beautiful! I ended up cutting about 1/2 inch off of mine to fit in the A2 size envies I had! ;)
 
I love everyone's cards. I went super simple this year-just wasn't in the mood to do an extravagant card even though I had a kit picked out and bought. I still like them though.

I had found a box of envelopes that were just over 4x6-- I think it was like 4 1/4 x 6 1/2 or something? I don't remember what they were called (they had a specific name), but I found them at Walmart at the same price as all of the other boxes of envelopes (I think I paid like $3.50something)... they had them in white, cream, or multicolored.
 
Here is my card. I had it printed 5x7 with rounded corners on pearl card stock, which is really pretty and shimmery.
