Christmas Cards — 2016

I love getting Christmas cards! I especially love photo cards. We keep all of our photo cards every year because our friends and family are so special to us, and it’s so fun to see how everyone’s kids grow up year after year.

I have been trying to make up my mind whether or not to send out Christmas cards this year. We have been trying to scrape funds together in preparation for our big move to Gleanings for the Hungry. Should I really invest in the cards and the stamps to send out the cards?

We did get some fabulous family photos taken by my friend Heather over at Heather Ikei Photography!

And I have been eyeing these cute cards from Minted!

One thing I have noticed about photo cards is that I may love a certain card, but really, the photo you use for your card is the real determining factor for what card you send out, right?

The photo chooses the card for you.

I love these Minted designs:

But the funny thing is that our family photo worked best with a different design, mainly because of the horizontal orientation … but it wouldn’t necessarily be my first choice. I still love it!

As Andy always says, “They all look great! Who cares?”

(Um, me??)

If I ever order it, I will post the final product! 🙂
