holiday greetings

I try to send Christmas cards every winter.  But sometimes I just plain forget.  I really mean to do this, but time races by and before I know it Christmas has come and gone and I still have a pile of cards sitting on my desk, waiting to be written.  This year, I'm hoping to get a jump start on the whole thing.

To start things off, we'll go classic. Or fairly classic, anyway.  Classic Christmas will always be my favorite - woodsy, cozy, and warm.  These cards have fun little updates to keep them feeling fresh, not stuffy.

My love of traditional Christmas aside, this year I have been feeling especially tempted by all things glittery, shiny, and pink.  A bit of a glamorous, modern update to Christmas cards.  A little Kate Spade, if you will.

Finally, I do love quirky things - like an octopus on your card or a pun on an old Christmas classic.  These cards, with their mixes of red and blue, will definitely stand out in a crowd.

Have you picked out your Christmas cards yet?
