I'm still not sure which card design I will choose, because there are so many! They have Christmas cards, Hanukkah cards, and even Christmas invitations if you plan on having a holiday party.
When choosing a holiday card, I usually opt for something that isn't too Christmas-y. A lot of people I send cards to don't celebrate Christmas, so I like to stay a bit neutral. Plus, pictures of Sadie are the main focus anyway, so we don't want anything too distracting! I'm thinking about using a design that allows for multiple photos, like this one:
But then there are so many awesome designs that just allow for one larger photo, and I'm tempted to use one of those instead. Something like this is really pretty, I think:
But I'm not sure I have one really amazing picture of Sadie and me. I was going to possibly put some of my "photography" pics on card that allows for multiple photos, including pictures of Sadie. What does everyone think? Maybe I could create my own photo collage and then upload it to a design that allows for one large photo. Not sure if that would be too busy then? Hmmm, well I am going to have to decide soon! The problem is, I have a lot of great photos of Sadie alone, but she refuses to pose for pictures when I'm in them with her!! Is it weird to just send a card with Sadie on it? Haha.

ReplyDeleteI think if you did a collage of sadie on the bottom one it would look nice as long as it was black and white :)
Right? I had to get in on this deal haha. Do you think it's weird to just have pics of Sadie on my card though?? I mean, people do that with their kids!!! Haha. I always feel like I have to be on my card, but ugh I don't have great pics of both of us.
ReplyDeleteI think a collage of your pictures would look good Laurie and I bet if they were arranged just right, they wouldn't look cluttered, know what I mean? maybe think of some theme, like Sadie, or flowers or trees whatever and stick to pictures from that theme..
ReplyDeletejust a thought. I still can't imagine we are that close to Christmas!
betty
