a precious baby stocking

i am so excited to share this christmas card with you guys.

but it isn't an ordinary christmas card,,,

it's a "we're having a baby" announcement!

how cute is that baby stocking?

#cantgetenough

when i was asked to help make their big announcement, 

i was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness. 

i first got to know this sweet couple back in college at Texas Tech, and i am so grateful to still call them friends!  they are going to make fantastic parents. and i can't wait to see how the LORD blesses them over the next nine months as they await their beautiful baby b! :)

i'd be honored if you would check out my etsy shop:

christmas cards are probably one of my favorite parts of the holidays. 

i love checking the mail,

i love getting mail,

and i love decorating our refrigerator with photos and beautiful cards. 

me + christmas cards = m.f.e.o.

i will probably leave them up until valentines day.

tis the season for holiday cards!

today, i'm excited to introduce my second holiday card design of the season!

"Tis the Season"

this one is one of my favorites.

aren't snowflakes the best?? since i live in hosuton, this is probably the closest i'll get to snowflakes this year, but i'll take it!

 

the front of the card looks great with color, sepia, and black and white photos,

but the black and white is my favorite. just send me your favorite photo and i'll make it work!

the back comes in two color options:

kraft and red

i know it's only october,

but guys,

it's almost november, and then it will be december, and then it will be christmas!

so why not cross your holiday cards off your list a little early this year??

over the next few weeks i'm going to be sharing my christmas card designs with you guys, and here is the first one!

this design is a 5x7, single sided custom photo card with natural chevron background.

i know bub-hub and i are pretty adorable,

but i understand if you want to swap us out for a photo of your family or puppy.
