Create a simple Christmas Card Book to save all those photo cards you receive from your family & friends each holiday season.
Do you love getting holiday cards each year?
Me too!
And even though we don’t get as many cards as we used to before social media, I still look forward to getting the mail.
I don’t know about you…but this year, I’m a bit behind with ordering my Christmas cards.
Unfortunately, we ran out of time to get a picture of our family or at least one of our kids this year.
I did snap a shot of the kids with my phone this past weekend while we were in the mountains cutting down our tree.
It’s not the perfect picture…outfits aren’t coordinated and eyes are a bit squinty…but I love it because ya know they’re my mine.
Each year as the cards come in the mail we display them on a wide ribbon that I hang on a wall post in our kitchen from ceiling to floor.
I clip every card we receive to the ribbon with mini clothes pins…this way we can see all the photo cards from our family & friends all season long.
What To Do With All Those Photo Cards After The Holidays
Once the holidays were over I hated throwing away all the beautiful photo cards…so I would save the cards in a bin.
But after a few years, I needed to find a better solution.
Pinterest to the rescue!
This awesome idea from Eighteen 25 even offered a free printable to create my Christmas Card Books.
I used their printable for several years and even added some ribbon to decorate my books.
All of our Christmas Card Books are kept in a basket so we can look through them any time during the holidays.
I think I may need a bigger basket next year!
