Here it is!
I made it a 5×7 card and ordered it through Mpix. The graphics are free downloads from shabbyprincess.com. I think it turned out pretty well, and the kids were good sports…mostly. The whole “wait to eat the cookies and look longingly at them” was a bit much for them, though. They could handle the eating the cookies part pretty well, though.
Last year I added gloss to the card, too, and it was a bit much. This year was no gloss and I like it much better. It just took FOREVER to download the Mpix ordering program for their press printed products. They need to make that a bit better.
This is going to be my Tuesday craftiness, since I am still working on the Christmas gift outfit. I haven’t got all the cards out yet, but they are on their way! After the outfit for Renae’s son, then I need to make some outfits for my kids. ACK! I need to get on it, don’t I?? There are holiday parties a comin’! Specifically, a holiday concert for daycare next week in which my children must be fabulously dressed since all they will probably do is stand up in front of everyone like a deer caught in the headlights. If last year is any illustration of things to come, that is.
I LOVE IT! How incredibly creative. I love the press printed paper. If you ever get the time, I want to see the pictures close up.
I love it too! That is such a cute idea! Stealing this once Zane’s older!!!
Thanks ladies! I will be sure to post the pictures by themselves at some point. The kids were good sports overall. I mean how can you so no to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies??
Those are absolutely adorable. Great idea.
So beautiful! I’m just hoping to get them in the same frame. And no, the photo isn’t even taken yet, eeek!
I LOVE it. I’m getting one, right?
Your card looks great. I’ve never heard of Mpix before, I’ll have to check it out. I ordered some custom cards through shutterfly this year and they turned out pretty nice too.
What a FUN card!!!!
Your kids are adorable

You are so clever! This is just precious.
You’ve inspired me to press on with our Christmas card photo session.
Just read your comment about my random facts and had to come back.
I have a goofy daisy that I got in college and I have a lotus with my girls’ name in Thai on my lower back. That one I love. I can totally imagine you with a dragon. And I think it should definitely be on your list of to dos. You are not to old.
How fun an cheerful and very original! I love it Stacy! I knew your card would be awesome, but you exceeded my expectations. Such a creative idea, and I can’t believe the kids cooperated that well.
That might be the best Christmas card I’ve ever seen !! I love it ! You are a creative genius !!
SO cute! Ok, I don’t hate you, but I am very, very jealous that they are done and out…
*sigh* – back to work on mine.
That turned out adorable! I love the wording – as others said – so creative!
That’s great! What a terrific idea. I’m also jealous that you are already done with yours!
What a great card! He has such a mischievious expression in the last photo.
