Christmas cards - did you take and edit your own photos for them?  email this discussion to a friend?

This year I did lol. Usually we do some professional pictures and order the cards from the studio, but this year I was VERY slow about it so instead we took the photos at a friends' house and then I edited and uploaded to Walgreens lol.

How do you usually do yours? Do you prefer photo cards or plain cards?

We took our card from our digital camera and got some pictures off that and made cards for the grandparents.

For about over a decade now we have been doing our Christmas cards as one page calendars with our family on them. Now that our three sons are married and two of them have children, there are a lot of grandchildren on the calendar.

And, would any of you MyLotters want a copy? Go to my profile and click the link to my web site. Then click on the link on my web site about our calendar.

hiya mommyboo

I didn't but it's a good idea. I've seen photos used for so many things, cakes, jigsaws etc. but never thought of having them made into cards. I don't mind what cards I get, they all have special meaning, but it would be lovely to see some with my granddaughters pics on them, they could also be kept and put into frames. Great idea for gifts next year. thumbup

Alice happy

Like I said, we usually have them made with professional pictures but it was more fun to just take informal photos and edit them myself and upload them to Walgreens - they have lots of cute card options, they are relatively cheap, and can be picked up in an hour!

I save all my photo cards, I suppose I could make a project of them after new years and have a special memory to hang up next christmas. lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4304)   ranked 869 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

OH! And you gave me an excellent idea. I could have a custom puzzle made of a photo I took of my daughter and her friends, what a cute thing for her to open at her birthday next month! The friends will be at the party and I think that'd tickle them as well!


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

An hour is pretty quick! thumbup I hope your daughter enjoys her photo puzzle, if they are inexpensive maybe a few of her friends in the photo would like them as a gift from her too. happy

I have don't it in the past, but not for several years. maybe next year I'll have the energy!


myLot reputation of 96/100. dawnald (24270)   ranked 208 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

oops *done


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4304)   ranked 869 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

LOL! It took suprisingly little time and energy, which is why I did it. I was very late, like I said I didn't get the cards out till the 23rd... or maybe it was Christmas Eve when they actually shipped out from the post office lol. My goal next year is to get the photos done and edited for uploading by the 6th or 7th of Dec.

This year I actually didn't do any Christmas cards at all. However, for the past several years I have designed my cards myself and had them printed at Wal-Greens. I think that the cards that I've had printed at Wal-Greens are just as nice as the ones that the photo studios will make for you and the price of them is cheaper than the other alternative. I do really prefer to do photo cards as opposed to regular cards because that way all of my friends and family can see how the children have grown.


myLot reputation of 93/100. mommyboo (4304)   ranked 869 out of 32,950 in life  3 years ago

I agree - I used Walgreens too and they were really cute. I used a mail order place last year, I think vistaprint - and I prefer Walgreens. They were probably 60 cents or so a card, which I think is much better than the average 1.49 of the studio cards. I ordered 4x8 instead of 5x7 because I didn't want to have to wonder if the postage would be enough lol.
