Hope you all had a magical Christmas... ours was quick and jam packed with both of our huge families, but so wonderful & relaxing! I feel like I have been MIA in the blogosphere...
Some of you asked how we did your Christmas cards this year, so I thought I would share! They were relatively easy, and they just took a bit assemble.

I designed them as 5 x 7 postcards, so I still had to pay regular postage, since the limitation is 4 x 6. (whoops!) (+ $.04 for the envelope that stuck out.)
I got the 5 x 7 document printed at Thomas Reprographics on an ivory, textured card stock. We do a lot of business with TR, and they always do a stellar job, so I try to give them all my personal jobs, as well. They printed 2 sided 5 x 7 postcards & the 2 x 3.5 insert cards.
I ordered my envelopes from envelopemall.com. They are always fast, efficient, & cost effective.
Finally, I used Walmart.com to order our prints through. I know, I know.. Walmart is not the greatest quality, but they are always inexpensive & quick. They will also drop ship to our local Neighborhood Walmart, so they are good enough for me.
Ryan was a HUGE help & we just used Super 77 spray adhesive (which, I swear by) to mount the stuffed envelopes and the photo to the postcard. Then all we had left to do was stamp those suckers and address them!

I knew I recognized that address. I used to live on Weatherred Drive. That once cute house (maybe it still is) with a red door that is on a hill, that is right where the intersection to where your street is. I am sure I passed by your house a thousand times.
Happy Christmas!
I saw your card on Lauren & Matt's fridge and spent the next few minutes inspecting it...so glad you shared the story of it's cuteness! I love your little blog and all of the fun projects that you post. Hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas and enjoy a blessed New Year!!!
