Christmas Cards 2011

December 22, 2011 4 Comments

Scroll down to see our 2011 Christmas Card!

Since this is our first married Christmas, I thought the ‘Our Family Name’ cards from Shutterfly would be perfect to share us as a married couple. It highlights my new last name and features several of our wedding photos.

Let’s be honest, the year you get married is really the only time you can get away with using wedding photos, so I did.

This is the second year I’ve sent cards from myself and the hubs.
I stamped each one in red ink with our return address stamped courtesy of the fun stamp I purchased from .
They did a great job on my stamp!!
Highly recommend them!!!

I really love how they turned out.
How about you? Do you send holiday cards?
Do you do a handmade card? Photo card?
I’d love to see if you have a link!

I mentioned it yesterday, but we’ll be on holiday vacay through Monday!
SO see you back here next week!!!

Merry Christmas 2011 from
Truly Lovely!!!

Our Family Name Christmas Card

Send Christmas cards personalized with your family photos.
