Christmas Card 2011



I found this great idea on Pinterest for our Christmas card this year. I absolutely loved the large letters. I even emailed the girl that i got the picture idea from to ask her where she found her large letters. She emailed me back and told me that she bought them at JoAnn's for 10 dollars each. Well i called every JoAnns with in a 3 hours radious and everyone one was sold out..even on line all the letters to spell JOY were sold out. I was so determined to re-create. I thought of purchasing MDF and making our own but then we didn't own a jigsaw so that idea was out the window. As i was shopping through Hobby Lobby one day i spotted poster board...not actual poster board but hard plastic poster board. I came up with the idea that i'll have our good friend Julie draw letters and then i'll cut them out with an exacto knife. Believe it or not, my idea was perfect and it only cost me 3 dollars rather than 30 if i had bought them. My awesome sister came over one evening before dark to take the great shots and they turned out perfect. I replicated everything from this girls picture except the minature horse. Unfortunately we didn't have access to one of those.
