I love sending out holiday cards. I love choosing the picture(s), making the layout just right, choosing the perfect words to tell friends and family that we’re thinking of them and appreciate them.
You all know I absolutely love my new lens that I got for my birthday, so I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try to get some good pictures of the kids for a card this year. I knew, worst case, we could use a different, slightly older picture, but I love the way they turned out.
Here are a few of my favorites:
It’s such a tough decision for me, though, choosing from the pictures (every year, really), so I love that there are card choices that allow you to add more than one picture. Seriously, I love it so much. I’m of the “cram as many pictures as you can into one card” mentality this year (there were also individual pictures of the kids that I just had to add, as well).
I adore the choices of Holiday Cards from Tiny Prints. In fact, I may possibly have about six made and ready to choose from, as we speak.
This is a top contender (but like I said…it’s going to be hard to choose):
I’m also in love with the postcard options, for a more budget-friendly card (and yes, I designed one of those, too).

I do professional photos. We are getting them taken tomorrow. Fingers crossed we survive!
I usually get them and then forget to send them. 🙁 BUT I am DETERMINED this year!! lol

We take a photo each year sometime in early November for our Christmas cards. We are really behind this year though! By this time last year I had already ordered our Christmas cards!
We take pictures at the early December holiday parties when everyone is dressed up in our holiday best. The intention is to make everyone think our family is perfect and beautiful (I'm not kidding,lol), but of course every year the picture taking ends up with someone crying. Sometimes I'm crying, sometimes it's one of the kids. And we end up with a funny picture that is our kind of perfectly imperfect bunch, all beautiful and funny. And that's the card we end up sending out. And most of the time it gets to everyone on my list around Christmas Eve. 🙂
I usually do a collage photo postcard but we already had a photo taken with Santa and I think I will send a postcard featuring just that photo this year. Trying to simplify things! Thanks for the chance to win!
I will probably end up with a collage of pic through the year since we haven't had professional pics taken in nearly FIVE years. What I desperately WANT to do is recreate awkward family photos.
We haven't done Christmas cards since T was born because I can't seem to get it together. This year, I've taken pictures of the boys myself, and had my cousin take one of William and me. So, it's collage time for us!

I use photos that I take myself. Normally I luck in to something cute.

I like putting my own cards and layouts together as well and always try to take some cute shots of the kids. A favorite spot is the park by our house! I also like to use individual pics. It just depends on how the kids cooperate. 🙂
I usually use pictures from throughout the year and make a collage. I always order from Tiny Prints too!
We have a professional photo taken every year with us and our dogs. Grateful for patient photographers!

I "like" Tiny Prints on Facebook, too!
Fun! I love Tiny Prints. And I pull pictures from the whole year. 🙂
Oooo – we cheat, b/c I get the kiddos yearly pics done at his birthday in November, and make them do double duty for Christmas cards. If I had your talent for pics though, I would TOTALLY save the money and do it myself – what cute options you have!!
I choose 2 pictures and put 1 on one design and the other on a 2nd and order a small amount of both 🙂

In the past, we have tried 100 times to use the self timer on our camera to get the perfect picture of just my husband and I. This year, we were able to get professional pictures done with our daughter and can't wait to send a many-picture-collage card to our friends and family 🙂
I have been following TinyPrints on Facebook and Twitter. 🙂
This is something I usually guiltily put off, but will put together a photo card in photoshop and have them printed at free vista probably. Thanks for the chance at a win Greta. The cards are so cute! Can't wait to see yours this year!
Just had a family photo shoot and what to add a top ten list from 2012 on it!!

We usually do professional but this year we had a picture of us that I took that we were going to use.

With our children being at that age where the last couple of years one was afraid of him, we have done photos with one happy and the other crying and placed a fun capture on it. Not sure what we are doing this year since they both "like" santa now. lol
Also I like Tiny Prints on my facebook page. 😀
continuously i used to read smaller articles that also clear their motive,
and that is also happening with this article which I am
reading at this place.
