• Nov. 12, 2008 - A Homemade Christmas- Christmas Cards

For years I have made homemade Christmas cards.  When the girls were little I would make them all by myself and just have my own little party making cards, but as they got older I would include them and have them do a section so we would have a little assembly line of card making- and we always have our card making energy snack- Christmas M & M's and Coke.  Now the past few years I have let the girls take turns designing the cards.  The first one that Breezy did for us is packed away somewhere and I haven't found it yet, so I will just describe it.  She used colored pencils and drew a Christmas wreath and in the center of the wreath there was a kitchen scene with a mom and a little boy making gingerbread cookies.   We printed it out on white card stock and printed a verse and saying on the inside.  This is the card that Emily Rose designed 2 years ago.  She made some of them with the red base and some with a green base.  This is the card that Breezy did for us last year.  She used watercolor and colored pencil.  We ended up printing them on photo paper and attaching them to card stock with photo corner stickers. Breezy also painted a picture for her Granny's Christmas card last year and she entered it in the HSLDA Homeschool Foundation Christmas card contest and she won.  You can look at it here.  You can find more Homemade Christmas ideas at Emily Rose's site simplyvintagegirl.com.  You can also add any Homemade Christmas ideas that you have posted on her Mr. Linky.
