Design Crafters

Whose kid hasn’t danced at a local event or recital? Jazz, tap, ballet, clogging, folk, etc. - fun events to be a part of, aren’t they? I’ve taken many pictures of my child at his dance performance. I can include an action shot, the entire team, or just a fun pose after winning the entire event.

By making a Christmas card of your child performing, you can also use it for scrapbooking. We keep each christmas card in an ongoing scrapbook with the year it was produced. It’s fun to look back and see the progress our family has made - all because of our photo christmas cards.

Photo christmas cards of your kids dancing can be a great way to preserve your family memories. Photo christmas cards are a great way to share family experiences with all your friends and close connections.

I talked yesterday about having your child “draw” or “paint” this years photo Christmas cards. Don’t you think that’s a great idea?  Children are so cute and creative - they bring such fun ideas that even adults may not think of.

I’d like to expand on that idea today and talk about creating an ongoing “Book of Photo Christmas Cards”.  Where I’m from, scrapbooking is really popular.  In fact, there are companies all over the place that sell paper, designs, and the like.  Why not create a photo Christmas cards scrapbook that encourages you to save these cards on a year to year basis?

Some of us might do this already.  I know my mother saves anything and everything; however, she’s not extremely organized and I honestly doubt that she could even find the previous years cards, even though I guarantee she’s stashed them somewhere.  Creating a nice scrapbook to put each years photo Christmas cards in could really help people like my mother.   This same book could also be a great way to preserve memories of each holiday season.

Tomorrow I’m going to talk about a “12 Days of Christmas” photo Christmas card.
