Ta da!
This year's card was super easy.
And late.
A week ago we were snowed in + church was canceled so we were (finally) in one place with natural light and could do our DIY (camera with a timer on a stool...you can see it in the mirror), silly photo shoot. Then we kicked into turbo card making mode and sent them out a couple of days before Christmas.
Note to self for next year: Do the photo earlier, buy the supplies in November (which I did this year; a nice balance to my procrastination), order/make more since we ran out, use a better photo processing place.*
Anyway, card supplies were all from Paper Source here and here and here.
Mustaches from here. (Remember how I was inspired to do a fun, silly card? We had a blast, although some of us are definitely not cut out for facial hair. Thank goodness.)

*this year's photo processing/printing came back dark and oddly blue tinted. I got so sick of them that halfway through I ended up printing photos on regular paper on our inkjet printer and used those. So half of our list got the ugly tinted ones, half got a flimsy photo on copy paper. It was a marvelous lose/lose tradeoff. And--if you'll allow me one more complaint--ugh, I was having a bad hair day. I think it might be time to say goodbye to the long hair.

Oh, and I almost forgot: even better would be having one of my fabulous photographer friends come take our picture for next year. Please?
i am loving these! you have such a beautiful family. and the mustache's....so great!!! we just barely had our pictures taken this last weekend. so i'm sure our "christmas" cards will end up being "st. patrick's day" cards. ha. :p
Just had ours taken *TODAY*
(!)
Ours will probably end up being Ground Hog Day cards.
And I wish I could have a bad hair day like yours...
;)
I was just thinking that your hair looked pretty in the light.
Your daughters are beautiful. Really.
Annie, we absolutely loved the card.
Hope you are enjoying your holiday & your company~
(I thought the long hair looked great.)
(But I think of cutting mine off and going back to the bob about every other week...)
I love your card. You could use a close shave though. Electrolysis perhaps? Too funny.
We laughed ourselves silly at your fabulous mustache shots. They were HILARIOUS.
And I was ooing and aahhing over your gorgeous long hair. It looks so soft and pretty! Don't change a thing!
I loved your card! I especially enjoyed the expression on Maddy's mustache face. You are light years ahead of me because my cards are going out tomorrow - hopefully. That is if I would stop blog ogling and start label and stamp sticking!
