Christmas Card Obsession Continues....

Every year I start thinking about our family fall pictures and thinking about what we're going to wear.  I usually start thinking about this during August and I have to make sure I get our photographer booked because I've learned that photographers actually do start booking up for the fall in summer.  How crazy is that?!  I participated in the Tiny Prints campaign last year and I'm pretty excited to do a sponsored post again this year!  We used Tiny Prints for our Christmas card when I was pregnant, we used it for Noah's beautiful birth announcements, and we used them last year and the year before.  There's a reason I keep coming back, and as you can see, there's just something about a beautiful, simple, classic Christmas card in your mailbox to spread Christmas cheer!  Have I mentioned I LOVE stationary and cards?  I blame that squarely on my Southern mama!
So, I've picked out a few of my favorites from Tiny Prints. It's important to me to have an actual "Merry Christmas" on our cards, because we celebrate the reason for the season at our house: Jesus.  We don't do Holidays, we do Christmas here and I really love our cards to say it!

As I started searching the sight for Photo Christmas Cards I found quite a few that said Merry Christmas. I love, love, love this card with a passion, BUT I don't think my 3 boys would fit on this, much less our family of 5.





After searching a little more, I found you can get the card in a 5x7!  Be still, my heart!  You can't get more classic than this.  I'm not the least bit modern in what I pick out and I can usually find some great, classic cards that just look like me.

And good grief, look at that beautiful family on this card! They are beautiful!

My talented, sweet photographer friend, Bethany, sent me one random picture to start looking at Christmas cards with and I think it might work on this card?


I also really love this sweet card but I'm not sure our fall picture would work?  I love the snowy picture in the sample better!


I also thought about doing a tri-fold card this year becase we did a bit of travel this summer and I thought it would be fun to show a few fun picture of the boys at the beach and also at Disney World!

This could be an option to showcase our professional picture and also our fun summer trips!


Aaaaand I kind of like this too!




No matter what's on your Christmas card, what it says, if it's professional or not, Christmas cards are such a fun way to connect old and new friends alike and family members that you haven't seen all year.  Now, let's just all survive Thanksgiving first!  Go check out Tiny Prints for your Christmas cards and don't forget to check out their special offers page for some savings!
