2022 was yet another busy year for us, so much that I almost didn’t bother with a holiday card. Then, right after Thanksgiving, I decided we had enough photos and had done enough cool things that it was worth it.
Typically, I write up a little blurb about milestones throughout the year, but this time, I didn’t. I went with a very simple (to me) design that I felt shared those moments pretty well.

I ordered these cards to be printed with Overnight Prints and I actually ended up returning them. The printing had been pretty terrible. They were printed so dark that the background looked black and more than half of the cards had a white edge along the top or bottom because they were trimmed incorrectly. Thankfully, Overnight Prints was happy to reprint them for me and I got them out well before New Year’s (always my goal). But I have had my cards printed with them a lot over the year and this was a first.
I alway love to find a salutation that isn’t specific to Christmas. That way I don’t feel like I HAVE to get my cards to folks’ homes before then. ;-)
