I made this Smilebox to share our photos from our Christmas photo shoot. What a cool thing to send to the family! Do you know that not only is it EASY, but PRINTABLE?? Now that is cool. NO POSTAGE! I like that idea too. Now I need to compile a family list of email addresses.
Those of you stressed for time may consider this option 😀
You can choose the number of photos, music, and background color! Even the style of snowflakes that fall! LOL!
So here are all our photos. Its hard to get 3 kids happy at the same time, looking in the same direction!
We chose 2 photo collage’s that we felt captured our favorite’s.
Hope you like it.

I wrote in an earlier post that I was determined to get my Christmas cards DONE by November. That meant an early Christmas photo shoot-and I actually followed through!
Well, Im happy to say Im well on my way!!!
I have 25 postcards completed.
No need to rush. Im only needing 50ish more. My problem is, do I make more postcard style cards like this one?

I loved the group shot, with the individual photos at the bottom. It already say’s Christmas 2007. I considered for a brief second-just sending the photo. But the stamper in me said Um, NO!
I used the NEW! Snowflake Serenade from Paper Trey Ink.
What do you think? Are they OK? Im thinking of making a “stepped-up” version to share. Afterall, I DO have PLENTY of time. RIGHT?
I could put another layer of white behind the main red layer-but, I wanted these to be SIMPLE-easily mass produced. Not too much going on. I definitely achieved that here. Maybe a bow at the top?????? HMMMMM.
I just put the 3 snowflakes on my block-strategically placed. Inked with white craft, then stamped twice on the red layer.
I attached my Christmas photo, then stamped the “With Love” sentiment, then the “Joy” in the corner-for balance. Our “With Love” is a personalized stamp by Stampin Up! that I had put all our names on, and use every year for our Christmas cards! Its fast, and easy, and is way nicer than my handwriting. I LOVE that idea!
This measures 3 1/2 X 5 1/5. Very simple to make.
Next I did an ornament of sorts-which I think would be a really nice and different thing to send in the mail instead of a card!
What do you think of this?
This was EASY! EASY! EASY! Nothing fancy here.
I just used my NEW! Spellbinder’s Nestabilities rectangle die!
On the back I stamped the largest snowflake from the set, in white craft ink-added a red adhesive rhinestone, and then our “With Love” sentiment. The ric rac adds to the scalloped appeal from the nestablility.
Decisions!!!
Thanks for looking-Id love your opinions, and to know what you plan on doing this year.
Is a Smilebox in your future? Or have you even thought about your Christmas cards? I REFUSE to do the mad dash this year! REFUSE!!
So let’s hear it!
