2006 - Second Card

The next year I decided to go a simple as possible! I think I was still burned out from the first year. Ha! This year our big trip was to New York City as Ryan's surprise birthday gift. I couldn't decide between two pictures from the trip so I did a few of both. These cards were either made at Wal-mart or Target. This was the last year that Ryan wrote a Christmas letter for our family and friends. He went on strike after that. :)

The next year I found a design I really loved from Stationery Style. It opens up and inside was printed, "May the joys and blessings of Christmas be yours throughout the year!". I absolutely loved it. Ryan & I had just moved back to Houston and bought our second house. So I thought it would be perfect to put picture of us in front of our new home.

2008 - Second Card
Finally, we are to this years! I broke the tradition of having two cards. :) However, you are probably going to choke when you read this... I ordered 150 cards!! I didn't want to run out again but I may have a few left over now. Does anyone want me to send them one? If so just let me know and give me your address. :) This year our big trip was to Italy with our family so I had to incorporate a picture from there. I couldn't find a picture I liked of Ryan & I. So I resorted back to an engagement picture. Ha! After I approved the design I remembered the pictures from my first Texans game! Oh well. This year A Piece of Pope made my cards, and she was so easy to work with and fast. Her designs are fabulous too!

Oh my gosh, great Christmas cards! I love your idea of keeping them through the years. Hmmm... may have to steal it.
ReplyDeleteLove all of your Christmas photo's and cards!!! I love the idea of putting the Christmas cards you get into a scrapbook - such a neat idea! I posted some old Christmas card pictures a few days ago!!
ReplyDeleteHow cute! I wish I would have kept copies of ours..thats such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI designed mine and so did Rachel. You'll be seeing them on the blog soon!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a thoughtful person. I love how you keep all the pictures through the years. It is also fun to look back at one family and see how much their children have grown through the years.
ReplyDeleteI love all of your cards. The NYC with the skyline is perfect. I hope you have that one blown up and on the wall. It is beautiful!
I LOVE them they are super cute!!! All of yours are adorable throughout the years. This is our first year to do Christmas cards and I am so excited for everyone to get them!!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously...that "album" is the greatest idea ever!! I always feel so bad because I don't know what to do with them after the Holiday and usually end up throwing them away (sshhh...don't tell, please). I just might have to start an album of my own. :)
ReplyDeleteThe scrapbook idea is really cute. I wish I would have started doing that 8 years ago! Maybe I will start now.
ReplyDeletegreat idea with the scrapbook. i just have them all sitting in a box. I think I may have to go out and get a Christmas book :) Oh and I gave you a little something on my blog. Check it out :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards and such a great idea with the scrapbook!

What a beautiful card (and home, too!)...I sure hope you've got printed labels for those 150 envelopes- yikes! Ha!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
Great cards Lindsey! I wanted to start the tradition of sending out Christmas cards too once Jason and I got married, but we didn't get around to doing it last year. I did get them done this year though and plan to do it year after year. I'll post mine on my blog in a few days. :) I love the idea of the scrapbook too!
ReplyDeleteSo cute, love them all esp this years! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are all cute, but I do especially love this years...the design, colors, everything. I have always handmade our cards as well, love adding ribbons, but always run out of ribbons and have to settle for a different one for some people....we send out over 200, and that's with a condensed list! :) I'm thinking next year may be the year I have to give in and just order some!! :)
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! Merry Christmas!
