Re: Post pics of your Do-it-yourself Holiday Cards...

Ok well here's my pic...

Its gonna all be black and white- (the sheet will be made to black) and the only thing in color will be the lights...

Then DH will design a card... not sure if we'll add another pic or not, and just keep it simple...????

Here's Nate's from last year....It was easier then bc he wasn't walking. Nothing fancy, the back drop is just a green towel.

I'm still trying to figure out how to get him to sit still long enough to take a picture.

Steph... the answer to that is bubbles.. Blow them close to him and then catch them on the wand and once your ready for the pic, pop it and you'll get a big smile!

Thanks Laurie! I'll have to try that this weekend. I got him an outfit on Friday, so we'll see how it goes.

I like the B&W, but I think it shows the wrinkles in the sheet too much.

Thanks if you are feeling real creative- and have any card ideas you wanna through at me- that would be great too...

I can tell you who we used for printing- i might even have a coupon if you are interested in using them as well..

This is so funny - I wanted to steal DonnaMarie's idea too. Still trying to think of different ideas.

Hope my kids are feeling smiley at the Holiday Train Show this weekend...otherwise I'm going to have to pester a friend for a horse
