It is the most wonderful time of the year! It's the most -fully-stressful, -fully-crazy, and lets be honest a lot of work for mom. One of the ways I have been able de-stress a little during December is by getting my cards done early and sent out.
There are a few stipulations I have for myself when designing a Christmas Card...
1. I try to design or find a unique design.
2. I love them to be interactive.
3. I love them to be personal.
4. I feel it is important to bring Christ into our card with a Christmas Greeting.
5. There must be a personal touch, either a handwritten note, or stamped envelope...etc.
This year I chose a slider card, and did a little information graph to share about our family. I love the cotton paper that Pro Digital Photos offers and the quality is amazing! My goal is not to be "braggy", but informative and throw a little silly for fun.
I have used many card sites, but I have to admit, Pro Digital Photos is really easy to use, convenient (like just a few miles down the street from me in Pleasant Grove, Utah ... but they ship everywhere!), they have great selections of paper, and templates to make my card exactly how I want. Their store is SO extremely cute and totally decked out for the holidays. Their prices are fabulous too! Not only do I love having my Christmas Cards printed at Pro Digital Photos, but I print lots of my client work there, including wedding invitations and Canvas'.
Each year they choose a different theme for Christmas to wrap it all up, and make it extra special. This year is Dreaming of a white Christmas. With each card order you get a little bag of lavender to place by your pillow at night to help you sleep better ... as well as DARLING wrapping. Makes getting your Christmas Card order, that much more exciting!
You can't go wrong with printing your cards at ProDigitalPhotos.com this year! I promise you won't regret it!

Because I love design, and do free-lance design work from home, I always enjoy designing my own cards. This year I teamed up with ProDigitalPhotos.com and custom designed my cards.
