CHRISTMAS CARD DRAMA

I am not sure why, but I have the hardest time choosing a Christmas card. I agonize over it and it's ridiculous, because most people look at them for 10 seconds and then throw them away!

Nevertheless, I still strain my brain every year trying to decide what photos to use and what design looks best. Here are this year's selections:

First Runner Up was this design from Costco.
I didn't linger over this one very long because I felt it distracted from our photos too much.

Second Runner Up, from Shutterfly, is this little number.
I really liked it because our photos are black and white and work well with the colors, but ultimately it was twice as expensive as Walmart, so it got ix-nayed.

Third Runner Up was this card from Walmart.
I ended up not choosing it because I didn't want to include my husband and I this year.

Drum roll please! This is THE CARD- The Winner- from Walmart.
Very Christmas-y and fun formats for our photos. I am very happy with my choice and it only took me 3 hours to decide...

You're cards are always great so the time spent was worth it. Thank you for sharing with our family each year. By the way, I do keep them all and love to look back over the years. No pressure tho.:)

Hey, at least you're doing a card! That's more than I can say. I'm so behind on my blog and been so busy making a photo book for my mom I don't think I'll get to it. I LOVE your card...sad you decided to not include you and big C...but a good choice nonetheless.
