We always make our own Christmas cards.. this year we continued the tradition we started last year of using drawings by Oliver and Cyan. They drew their seasonal characters which I scanned and made up into cards..
Cyan drew Santa.. a snowman.. and two Christmas trees, one with legs?!
Oliver’s featured a penguin.. a Christmas tree.. and a robin..
Cyan had copied this Christmas message reading ‘Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year’ from a Christmas card we had been given, so I scanned it in for the inside of her cards, she had also written her name beautifully with lovely curly letters, I just had to add this to the back of her cards, along with the harp-playing angel from the top of one of her trees..
I asked Oliver to write a greeting to go inside his cards, he came up with
‘Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!’
They have both been very busy colouring all their cards, and writing them out to all their friends and teachers..
By the way, Oliver is 7 and Cyan is 5.
Here are their card designs from last year.. Cyan’s with an angel..
and Oliver’s.. a penguin.. yes, the boy has a thing for penguins!

So sweet and special! The tree with legs is classic and I love, love, love the robin!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! The perfect eco solution and less likely to go in the trash. This is the first year we did not do cards. Can't do it all as a temp. single mom I guess. Happy Holidays and wishes of health, abundance, time to create and joy for 2011, mymommymakesit
ReplyDeleteYou have so many creative, frugal ideas. I love penguins, too.
