How To Create Your Own Christmas Photo Cards

November 22, 2011 by 10 Comments

Will you be taking photos over the long holiday weekend coming up? This is the perfect time to set up a DIY photo area and take those kid’s photos for Christmas greeting cards. For my latest article on Celebrations I’m sharing my favorite ideas for making these photos easy and fun with a little help from items like these Christmas printable photo booth props from Paper & Cake. Once the photos are taken, print them out and make your own ornaments to give as keepsake gifts or to hang on your own tree. Visit the links to see all of the ideas…{& check out how cute my little “models” are. teehee}

    Aww, thanks guys. When I was taking the photos it was so difficult to get them both looking “right” at the same time. LOL We ended up with some good ones though.
