2010 Holiday Card Layout

i love this idea. i've done it for the last two years and think it's the perfect way to hold on to the cards, without things taking up way too much space. i did the same with my bridal shower cards as well!

I did this last year (after I saw yours) and it was one of my favorite layouts of the year. I have my cards in a pile ready to do it again.

i think i might make this idea an addition to my p365 this year. great idea and i hate just tossing those cards.

I LOVE THE WAY THE WHITE POPS OUT ON YOUR LAYOUTS. WAS THAT ON PURPOSE? YOUR NIECE IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE YOUR SISTERS CARD.

I love this! It is so hard to throw away the cards but I never know what to do with them so they just set around!

Ali, I have to ask: did you scan the photo images to have them be so small? We got a lot of photo cards, but all are way too big to fit a small square like yours.

I don't get many cards to begin with, let alone cards that have pictures with them, so I cut out the parts of the cards that have the signatures and then use parts of the fronts that I like also. It turns out looking pretty cute too.

So glad you showed us this year's version of your layout! LOVE it! I need to do this with this year's (2010) and past years so we can look at them! (Instead of being boxed up!) THANK YOU!!

I've been waiting for this post to inspire me to do our 2010 cards.... thank you for helping give myself permission to use only part of a photo. I enjoyed them when they arrived and appreciated the sentiment of someone taking the time to send it to me, but that doesn't mean their entire card has to appear on my layout.
Thanks for being you Ali :)

I love how you put this together!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been in process of purging 10 yrs of Christmas cards-wondering what should I do with the photos. Now I have a fabulous idea! Wonderful :)

Thank you, Ali. With more than 30 years of marriage behind me, I have oodles of photos from friends and relatives and now I have an idea as to how I might display them rather than in a box.

I'm so glad you posted this again this year, Ali! It's one of my favorite projects of yours. So simple! I was wondering though, do you do anything with the Christmas cards that YOU create and send to family & friends each year? I was thinking of putting mine in the big space you used for your niece.

I don't really get that many photo cards or Christmas cards in general but I have this tip stored away in case I do. I just love that it's all condensed into a two-page spread. So cool.

This is one of my favorite scrapbook pages to make...not only because it keeps things out of my boxes full of stuff I'll probably rarely ever look at, but also because it's such a simple thing to make. No journaling...no "story" to portray...just a beautiful summary of the joy and cheer shared with friends and family during the holiday season. Love it!! =)

I've been doing this for the last few years as well and love it. Earlier this week I found a stash of photo cards from 2007 that I had never scrapped. One of the cards is a photo of a friend & her family. She passed away before Christmas 2008. The images & memories of the people I love are the reasons that I not only do this layout every year, but the reason I scrap. I cleared the project that I was working on off my table and scrapped those cards immediately.

love this! every year i think 'i should do this!'...someday :)...fun to see a picture of tricia's kiddos!

I have been doing this for the past 3 years since I saw it on your blog. I love it and each year I look forward to keeping my holiday cards. Thanks again for the inspiration.

Lovely Ali! We don't get photo cards, but I use a square punch of part of the card and part of the handwriting. I was joking to DH that I was going to ask everyone to write their names in a 2" square next year, LOL! Love that your friend wanted a bigger picture on your LO too!
