The Barnes Family: December 2010

So, if you've been keeping up with the last few posts (Hi, Katherine!), here are the flat cards that never got printed. Just showing them off for fun.

I REALLY liked this one, and was really sad when I found out I couldn't send both flat and folded cards and use the free coupon. I love that it has God's Word on it, explaining who Christ is. I know my parents really would have loved to send this one out, too.

I also really like this one. I thought the picture of Oliver with the music theme was fun, too.

Really like the design on this card. Can you tell? My mom, when browsing the stock Shutterfly cards always commented when she saw whimsical prints like this, that she knew I loved them, because, "it looks SO paisley." (and I'm kind of addicted to paisley...and whimsy prints...its true.)

That is all.

Again, mostly for Katherine's benefit....here are the cards I did for my parents, using the 50 Free Card Credit from Shutterfly. They should arrive to my parents sometime next week. I did 5 of each of the following cards, except 10 of the first card. Plus, the 5 original ones I already had sent to them last week (blogged about below), they will have 55 unique cards to send out this year with their grandson on them! I had SO much fun doing this! I also made some fun flat cards, but it wouldn't let me redeem the free credit using both types of cards, so I went back and did extra folded cards and had all of those sent, instead (again, which is what you're about to see below). Maybe I'll do another post someday about the flat cards that are cute.

I love this one. This was one of the few cards that let me change the main text...it just had "Merry Christmas" on it, I think, but I knew I needed something to align with the special picture being used...I was so happy with the outcome of the Christmas phrase with the picture...simple things bring delight to me, apparently.
