Crazy Fun Photo Cards You Can Make
Wisconsin couple gets more creative each year with photo Christmas cards
Dick and Jane (yes, their real names!) have a lot of fun planning 
each year’s very personalized Christmas photo card. This year they did a spoof on a much-viewed TV commercial.
Dick and Jane have been dreaming up fun holiday photo cards for years. They have a professional photographer, Debbie Metzelfeld, set up and take the photos.

That means an amateur — yet clever — photographer like most of us can also have zany cards printed — using the Lifephoto site.

Long ago I abandoned the wonderful tradition of exchanging Christmas cards each year. There was never enough time. For awhile I switched to New Year’s cards — that worked pretty well.
But now I send out Thanksgiving cards to our family and friends. The season is less hectic but it is still a very meaningful holiday. It’s not about gift-giving but about sharing and giving thanks for our blessings. I think Thanksgiving is a lovely occasion to send a card — and this year I am creating my own meaningful cards with photos that highlight people for whom we are thankful to count as friends.
Easy-to-Make Cards with My Digital Photos.
My theme this year is Thanksgiving 2009 — Giving thanks for great friends and great trips. We had taken an Alaska cruise with our friends — had some terrific photos from the trip — and decided this was a great way to share them.
