christmas card making shenanigans

I love getting mail.

Ok, so that's a HUGE understatement.

Maybe that's why Christmas cards are one of my favorite holiday traditions. Even as a kid I would get so excited over every colorful envelope I got to open.

Last year I was so INSANELY busy that I didn't even send out Christmas cards. I almost cried. Lets face it... I died inside a little bit.

I eventually got around to creating a "new years" card on Shutterfly which I ended up posting here and on my facebook page so I didn't feel like such a Christmas failure.

I really enjoyed the design of the card because it appealed the list-lover in me--highlighting our top ten moments in 2011.

In my online search for an awesome (free) Christmas card template, I came across a blog (through pinterest) of Amanda Jane Jones who has created AMAZING "Year in Review" Christmas cards for herself and others. (Exactly what I was looking for!!!)

The best part? She just happens to be doing a giveaway! So I'm crossing my fingers and praying that I win! Click here to go to her website and see what I'm talking about.
