You may remember that I had a bunch of birds & leaves left over from a recent project…well I had to make them into this year’s Christmas card! So here’s what I came up with – a very simple card that has a low profile for mailing, and easily recreated (only because I have the birds & leaves already cut out). I send out around 100 cards, so this will work as long as I have the birds & leaves. After that, I’ll have to come up with something else, perhaps.
This is the first year we didn’t take a family photo, and I instead took individual ones and printed them out together in a strip. I used b&w so that the different colors didn’t distract. Thank you all so much for stopping by today! I have other projects to show you, as soon as I get them photographed. Thanks for your patience in my lack of posts.

I like your card Jackie! How did you do the photo strip? I was looking at another blog that had it that way. Very ideal…especially since I have a hard time getting my kids to take pictures together…also the dog!
