I am so bad at this. I am practically already behind on my 2014 Pinterest Challenge.
This week I attempted “The Christmas Card
Book.”
This had to be one of the first crafts I
ever pinned on Pinterest when I joined several years ago. I LOVE receiving Christmas cards,
especially photo cards, and I think it is always such a shame to toss them in
the trash at the end of the season!
I
particularly like what some of our friends and family did this year by
including a little “scrap book” of pictures and descriptions of what they did
throughout the year. How
fun!
Hence – The Christmas Card Book – a
hole-punched "book" of all the season’s cards we received.
I started out with my supplies: Binder rings, a hole-punch, and all of our cards
I then organized the cards in piles by size so I could get an idea for the smallest/biggest size cards
In order to make sure I hole-punched the cards in the correct spot, I punched one, and used it as a template for the rest
45 min later...
Voila! Our 2013 Christmas Card Book:
I am really happy with the way it turned out!
I know I mentioned how much I enjoy receiving cards, and I usually enjoy sending them out as well, but this year Christmas snuck up on me and I did not make our usual photo Christmas card :( I will do better next year! And I might even include some of our 2014 high lights! - says the village idiot
