    1st christmas card attemt!

    I didn't want to make a "typical" Costco or Sam's Club card so I tried it myself. I went out and bought a Christmas globe from Michaels Craft shop and pulled a bunch of stuff off the Christmas Tree and put it all onto our end table. I tried adding some snow around the children...but it looked cheesy!! Then I put two Santa hats on the kids and put them in the globe!

    What do you think...I already sent out 75 of them.

    I like this! It moves away from the typical christmas card and into a more creative side. Good Work

    Outstanding job! I told my wife last week that next year I was going to try making my own cards. This just gives me more inspiration to try it, Jeff

    That's what I thought this year!! I decided to do it....funny part is many "family" members that received the card actually call and ask.."did Costco make that??? Where can I get mine done like that".

    I'm sure many think I had it done somewhere else...but my Son and Daughter helped make it...I wrapped the Christmas globe up for my daughter with an extra copy of the picture....30 years from now I hope she will call this her best gift she has ever received!!:thumbsup:
