Happy December! I can’t believe the holidays are almost here. I’ve started my shopping and we just put our tree up – but we’re a little slow on the decorations. I decided to do a complete rehaul of our holiday decorations so it will take me a little longer to get it all done. Hopefully I’ll have something to show you very soon of what our home looks like for the holidays. Hopefully. But right now, it’s just a mess!
The other big project to tackle this time of year is our holiday card. I love opening our mailbox and getting these fun little treats each day. I’m a little behind on getting our card done – or maybe I’m a lot behind. We always go with a photo card and I’ve been pretty good about taking pictures lately. Casual pictures work better for us than the posed option but we have tortured our kids with that too. So I have a good start and now I just have to decide on the design. I usually design and construct our cards myself but it takes a lot of time. For the past two years I’ve used Minted and Tiny Prints instead mainly because of the quick turnaround time they offer. Plus their cards are so pretty and unique that they almost look homemade.
So, this year I’m not sure which I’ll do – the homemade version or the pretty {and quick} online version. The fact that it’s December 1st makes me think I’ll go with the latter.
This was our card from last year.
And here’s a few of our cards from years past {all homemade by yours truly}.
And here’s a few of the designs I’m really loving from both Minted and Tiny Prints. Click on the links below to go the each of their sites. I’ve been very happy with both companies. They both have excellent quality, affordable prices and the cards arrive within days after you order them. Plus they have such fun new shapes and type – and even gold foil!
Oh, so many choices – and there are tons more on their websites. Hopefully you have your holiday cards addressed and in the mail but if you don’t check out Minted or Tiny Prints. You’ll love them! Enjoy!
I'd love to hear your comments!
