Pick my Christmas Cards!!

You're probably wondering why in the world I'd be blogging about making Christmas cards and it's only July. Well, I saw a banner in front of business today that said, "Celebrate Christmas in July"...and guess what, that means we should be celebrating this weekend (Sunday to be exact). So the next thing I know I'm checking out the super cute card designs on the Life in Photos website (sister site to Scrapbooks, ETC). I know a lot of you that have watched me make "hand-made" cards (up around 60) each year and spend weeks making them are wondering why I'm going this route. Well, I can have a custom card printed for as little as $1.55 each and I will of course add my extra touch, a flower, a rhinestone, a brad...and they'll be done and sent before most of you even start to make yours. (Hint, I'd highly recommend cutting back the stress and save some time and money...check out more cute cards here!)

But after an hour or two of playing around creating cards with my family's photo in them I just couldn't decide which ones I liked better. So I need your help in picking which card design you like best! Leave a comment and tell me what you think? I included the card designs without my family's photo in them since I need to get new family photos taken (last ones were in 2005) and thought I'd like to the card's web page if you want to get more info. What do you get if you vote? I'll for sure add you to my Christmas card mailing list (wink)!!

I love the first one... fun and bright! Although all of them are pretty darn cute... guess I know who'll be doing my Christmas cards this year! :)

I LOVE Christmas no matter what month it is.. And I like all these different cards. They are bright and it seems like you can really personalize to fit your needs. I may have to have you do ours this year and I can take a break from it. Love it!

Hey Lori - what a *great idea* to start thinking about now! I just really LOVE the first one too, but as an added note, I think the picture is really cute of that family with just jeans and white t's on (love the bare feet too) but put some Santa hats on for a little extra zing! :-)

Just my two cents!

I really like them all! Although I think the last one is my favorite. I am always amazed at the creativity you have and your ability to come up with amazing ideas! It's just not fair that one person can have so much talent!

Hey Lori,

You amaze me! You're already thinking of Christmas??!!! Jeesh, I'm lucky if I get my cards out on Christmas Eve. You've inspired me.
I like the 3rd one down. It's just my style.

Merry Christmas!
