Christmas Card 2009

Remember my idea for our Christmas card last year? The four seasons? I liked it so much, I decided to do it again!

My friend Tricia did a great job on the beautiful designs you see around the photos. She has an Etsy Shop and I highly recommend using her!! She will make some amazing cards (anything--invitations, announcements, thank you notes) for you!

Anyway, this will be another accordion-style card--starting with...

Winter:

Spring:

Summer:

Fall:

And then I wanted a pic of our new house as we are also using this as a change of address card!
I'm SO happy with the way it turned out!!

Oh--and I already have a cool idea for next year's cards! Do you think it's too early to start working on that??

Christmas Card!

I had some big plans for our Christmas card this year and I'm happy to say that I was able to pull it off! My idea was to have fold-out (accordion-style) cards that had pics of the kids through the seasons and say something like "Wishing you happiness through every season."

Lucky for me, my friend, Andrea (Delightful Designs) , understood exactly what I wanted and, since she is an expert at card-designing, came up with some amazing ideas. I urge you to check out her blog and card designs--you won't be disappointed if she does your cards!

Doing the accordion-style thing was a little more challenging, but luckily it all got figured out. The cards arrived yesterday and I LOVE them!!

Here is a sample: And here's the idea of how it looks when unfolded.
Cool, right? It's such a great feeling to have an idea in your head and be able to execute it just the way you'd hoped! Thanks again Andrea!!

P.S. How can it be Friday already? Is it just me, or has this week flown by!?
