During December, I look forward to going to the mailbox everyday because I love receiving Christmas cards. I love photo cards which show me what everyone looks like these days, and I love receiving newsletters letting me know what everyone has been up to. During December, I keep them in a wonderful basket so that we can look at them throughout the month. Later on, I scrap all the pictures in my Christmas card album.
This year, I made a few simple Christmas cards using the custom stamp pad I created for my Day 2 Tim Holtz tag. I'll be sending this to a few crafty friends:
I hope to work on getting these out this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll include a Christmas letter this year or not. I probably will because I know how much I love to receive them. What do you do with the Christmas cards you receive? And what do you send out?

Please do because I love receiving them too! Beautiful cards! Both of them!
I've made photo cards this year as well - I say do whatever is easiest for you to manage as the family photo is lovely as is!
All our xmas cards get hung up on the wall...and after xmas I keep the handmade ones....and recycle the rest.
I do send a xmas letter with some of my cards.....like you, I love receiving them.
i loooooooove both ur cards maria. the family shot is perfect you all look so happy, sunny and beachy for christmas. i love receiving cards, i generally hang them up or put them on the bookcase. this year i have some cute pegs i'm gonna try out. i am sending bought cards, i know shocking eh, but i am making a couple for my parents and lil sis,
Jo xxxx
Such a happy card! We'll be lucky if wee get any sent this year ... May have to email and send a letter attached. :)
First, that is an awesome picture of your post office box, Rinda. :o)
Love both of your cards!!! I made a few this year to send to crafty friends, but I don't normally send out a lot of cards. Once Christmas is done I will make a scrapbook page using bits and pieces and squares from each card to create a collage. It's a fun way to preserve my favorites (especially those with photos)!
It's an absolutely beautiful photo! I love photo cards - but there really is no tradition of sending them here. I was really intrigued the first time I got one from an American friend! They are such a perfect way of letting the friends you don't see very often know how your family has grown over the past year.
I am about to sit down and write a couple of Christmas letters this afternoon - I exchange news still with a few old school friends and their cards to me are very much cherished from one year to the next.
It's nice to see your mailbox too - did your Pass The book arrive yet?
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love the card you made. And you have a beautiful family! We don't get many cards anymore--price of postage??? instant email???? I now make a few cards to send to family who live far away.
As Sian says, photo cards are not well known over here, but it is fun to see how families change.
I need to start thinking about card sending very soon ....
Maria love your card, it shows a very happy family. In the past I have sent bought cards. Just last year I sent out a picture card of our family. This year I will do the same. The problem I have is picking the right picture. I hang cards I receive and hold on to them for a while until I decide how to recycle or keep them. Hope I get on your mailing list this year. LOL
Both cards are wonderful. You remind me that I need to have the family photo printed to put inside the cards! I'll be sending handmade cards and a family letter to out-of-town folks who we don't see regularly.
Maria, this is such a wonderful Christmas card! Just love the personal touch!
That is a lovely photo card (well, the handmade card is gorgeous) but I just wanted to comment on it, as it's hard to find a photo to put on them sometimes... I'm having a heck of a time finding one this year and then you remind me that the photo itself doesn't have to be holiday... just the card! Silly me. :)
