As promised, here are all of my Christmas cards since 2004, which is when I started hand-making them. I'm creating this post as a resource to me, but hopefully you will have fun seeing my different designs and family photos over the years.
My friend and Stampin' Up demonstrator would probably agree when I say that I have gone to great lengths to make my cards in past years. As mentioned in my Christmas Card post from last year, I have always designed my cards based on my daughters' Christmas outfits.

and the other half got the other daughter's. Fun!

this year's family Christmas photo."
2009
First year using the Cricut!
