1.Gather several pages of decorative scrapbooking paper (I used some Christmas and some funky...whatever I can find)
2.purchase blank notecards and envelopes from a craft store (Michaels)--I think I paid $10.00 for a pack of 50. I used off white but you can use whatever floats your boat.
3.Have your pics made with your favorite photographer such as Wendy Anderson and then have them printed from a place like snapfish or winkflash (I suggest doing this first).
4.Use a paper cutter to cut your decorative pages slightly smaller than the front of your card stock.
5. Use a glue stick to adhere your photo to the center of the decorative paper.
6. Buy a Christmas Stamp and an ink pad from a Craft Store to personalize the inside of your card. I used "Happy Holidays."
That's it. You can embellish them further with ribbon on the front or using a round paper cutter to cut out a circle--then add your initial to the circle and glue it right above the picture, slightly overlapping it.

Voila, a stack of handmade, one-of-a-kind Christmas Cards of my family.
Those look great!
