Especially since we live so far from so many old friends and family members, I like being able to look at everyone's pictures in my kitchen throughout the year. Just an idea for you all :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11534770129545334052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218325878367485209.post-45398546906305631222011-01-11T18:39:49.827-07:002011-01-11T18:39:49.827-07:00I always save the Christmas cards with photos on t...I always save the Christmas cards with photos on them every year. I cut off the extra sayings and then display them on the end of one of my kitchen cabinets. I love seeing all my friends and family's faces all year long. Then I keep them. I do need to get a pretty box to store them in.

When I was nannying, the little girl I watched ALWAYS wanted to do something crafty with me and I never wanted to spend the money on scrapbooking stuff. Often times, I would bring my big box of cut up magazine pictures and old cards that people had sent me and they would all be in a giant plastic bag. she would love to reach in and pic out different pictures and make collages for her mom when she came home. I would just collect cards and cut out the pictures from them<br />ALSO, christmas cards are really great for the frames that are on them. just cut out the frame that is framing the picture and you can use them as picture frames either on the fridge, the wall, in scrapbooking. Sometimes it looks cool on a scrapbook page to use a picture with a frame that doesn't actually fit it...sort of like catty cornered around the picture.Rachel Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05278369496258189151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218325878367485209.post-91517961625685801802011-01-10T16:46:13.047-07:002011-01-10T16:46:13.047-07:00I actually got the idea from seeing Christmas card...I actually got the idea from seeing Christmas cards scrapbooked. I wanted something that would be a little more simple and less time consuming but in which I could still look back and see the photos. My next step is definitely to make a prettier box for them so I can leave it out to look through during the holidays. Maybe that can be a future post. :)Megan @ SimplyThriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07396945414221993411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218325878367485209.post-11062146936356338132011-01-10T11:21:14.200-07:002011-01-10T11:21:14.200-07:00I use to scrapbook mine but I am about 4 years beh...I use to scrapbook mine but I am about 4 years behind with that...lol This is such a good idea especially since I am so behind on scrapbooking.Julie Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162499312302593916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3218325878367485209.post-16476815756956280562011-01-10T10:01:05.738-07:002011-01-10T10:01:05.738-07:00I found you from Amber Black on facebook! :) I am...I found you from Amber Black on facebook! :) I am going to love your new blog.
