Holidays

This past Christmas it was just me, my husband, and little sister :) First time our family wasn't all together. We didn't really celebrate or go all out. Christmas is my favorite time of year because everyone is usually happy and everything is all decorated and festive. Honestly, we weren't really feeling it this year... all the commercialism and greed... it all casts a heavy shadow on the true spirit of the season. Being around friends and staying positive all help the season stay bright :) Anyways, here are the holiday cards my husband and I sent out. We used pictures from our wedding and got the graphics free off the internet. Summertime Designs and Kevin & Amanda both offer very awesome freebies. I used stuff from both of them to create our cards. Then, printed from home. We "greened" them up a bit by using leftover cardstock from our wedding and envelopes we found in my mom's stash of leftover stationary. We also made the card postcard style to use less paper! We couldn't decide on one style so we just used them all :)
