Flashback Friday - My First Christmas Card!

7/9/2010

Way back in 2006... I know, ages ago, right?... I decided that since I was newly engaged and all, I should send out a proper Christmas card to friends and family. I had made Valentines cards for 2 years already, but for some reason, I had never tackled Christmas cards. I think it was because I could never get my act together till the new year, then it was too late; hence Valentines cards!
I kept going back and forth between making one design or making each one unique. Once I counted up the number of people I would potentially be sending them to, I realized that even though the number was relatively low (I think it was around 20 or 25), there was no way I could make that many unique cards. Also, it was Halloween, so I was running out of time.
I had way too much fun shopping for the perfect paper and stamps for my First! Christmas! Card! and finally settled on simple snow and 2 adorable snowmen.

I set up an assembly line, and away I went! Cut, ink, stamp, tape, sign, stuff, address, mail, done! It didn't take all that long because I didn't have all that many to make and the cards were pretty simple. And I didn't do anything to the inside other than sign them.

I was very proud of myself for finally getting my act together and sending out cards before Christmas (ok, like 3 or 4 days before, but still... before!!!)

Plus, it was good practice for all the wedding invitations and thank you cards I was soon to make!

Your turn! Do you make Christmas cards? How many do you make? When did you start? Please share!

Happy Creating!
