Christmas cards...

Well if you are like me you try to take a picture for your Christmas cards...trying to get three kids to look at the same time, smile at the same time, has not gotten any easier...I wanted to take pictures then alter them and make them look antique...
being silly...
oh, this is the card they want to give to their grandpa...

after awile, I was done, so this is it...

and here it is!!! Whew, I don't have to do this for another year! LOL

  12. Your vintage look greeting card is gorgeous and your children are all so nice looking and such great sports to go along with your idea. My kids would never cooperate like that. Love the way sweet doggie is looking up at your son. Adorable! So much love there. Holiday blessings :) Tammy

  15. The card came out perfect. I know what you mean about getting just the right card. If you have been reading my blog, 1960's tree has the famous Christmas picture of me and my naked Barbie. No that did not get used as the card for 1965, much to my mother's dismay. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.
