    So....do you make your own scrappy Christmas cards, or do you buy them?
    I've made a few this year, but normally I send photo cards out....that's what I'm doing this year too.

    This year I was able to make my own cards, next week hopefully i finish all of it. Previous years, I buy pre-made.

    I usually send too many to make them. I typically send 30-40 cards out. I do make some of them, usually I attach those to the gift I'm giving someone.

    I usually make ours with a photo - we do a simple production line with the kids. So, some look great others - well you know!

    I have always bought mine. Usually after the holidays are over I get them on sale. I send about 40 out too. I don't think I could handle making that many of the same thing

    For about 6 or 7 years I have made all my xmas cards! One year that meant 96 of them!!! This year I have to take a hiatus. With my dd and her acid reflux issues and now the move I would surely be placed in the looney bin if I attempted to make cards. I feel disappointed and like I'm a let down, but I really need to take care of myself so this is one way I'm doing that! I just keep telling myself if people don't like the card I send they should just remember how lucky they are to get a card from me!lol

    I try to make mine. It doesn't always happen depending on how stressful the year is--but I like to make them. I send out a LOT so I try to start early, put them away when I get tired of them and get them out again later.

    I make mine, too and I send out quite a few. Typically I tried to keep the design simple for Christmas cards, but it's still a production. I tell myself every year that I'm going to start earlier but I never do. Still, this year's will be in the mail next week.

    I have made mine for the last 15 years (know because I started when dh and I got engaged...) I used to make them all the same...this year I am making all different kinds...it is making it much more fun! I am also enlisting my girls more this year, so it's a family thing for us to sit and glue/stick in the evening recently!
