Share the Christmas Love: Tiny Prints and Michelle Pendergrass Photo Session #Giveaway

Christmas is one of my favorite times of year, and so it's the perfect time to share some of my favorite things that make the holiday season a little merrier and brighter! This is part one. 

Christmas cards are not a checklist item for me; they are a creative project I look forward to piecing together every year; I love all the aspects of Christmas cards --  picture session leading up to Christmas, the picking of designs, the merging of the two and even mailing them out!

I love this project mostly because it's a family affair in which I can unleash my creativity -- and because my kids think licking and sealing the envelopes in the coolest thing ever. Win!

Honestly, though, I can see how it would be stressful rather than fun if I didn't have a great photographer and a great card design destination like Tiny Prints where I can easily create beautiful cards.

This year I had my project cut out for me because Tiny Prints featured so many gorgeous designs, and I had so many beautiful pictures to choose from after we did a photo session with my super-talented friend Michelle, who captured the very essence and spirit of our family in her beautiful shots!

After picking my favorite captures from our session with Michelle and narrowing down my favorite designs over at Tiny Prints, I finally landed on a lovely multi-fold card unlike any I'd made in the past.

When they arrived, I was just as smitten with the final product as I was with the previews online! I can't wait to send them out!
