Our Christmas Card

I just wanted to write a short post and share the Christmas card we sent out this year. I had so much fun designing it all in InDesign and making the fun treats to go along with it. Enjoy!

 A closer look at the card itself
 Hot Cocoa in a Jar -- I made these and we sent them out to our wonderful grandparents
 How we packaged the Jars of Hot Cocoa
 I made these "Reindeer Noses" and sent them out to friends

I was really happy with how everything turned out! I have a goal to send out Christmas Cards each year and then compose a photo album of just our Christmas Cards--that way we can see how our family changes from year to year. Last year we just picked a card from one of the many websites and used an engagement photo of ours. I liked it, but now that I know how to use InDesign and Photoshop, I definitely want to make all our cards from here on out. It was cheaper and much more fun! Plus Christmas is a great time to craft and I had a lot of fun making all the treats, designing our card, editing and choosing a picture to send out, and putting it all together.

Merry Christmas!

Your card is SO cute! I'm very impressed with how far your indesign skills have come. Mine have definitely gotten rusty...
