Tiny Prints promo

Okay- Tiny Prints ran a great deal on Christmas cards-- bloggers could apply to post about Tiny Prints, and in exchange we each get 50 free Christmas cards.  So yes-- I'm shamelessly posting about them to earn cards.  Bear with me as I post what they'd like, & maybe you'll get a bit of creative holiday inspiration from it....

If I had a pic that would fit this one well, I think I'd choose this card.  It's unique, cute, & simple.  My kids' Christmas pic is wider, so I'll probably go with something different, though.

Usually I display Christmas cards by hanging up a darling paper garland (done with vintage Christmas scrapbook papers) and use clothespins to pin them to it.  It works, but I've been doing it for a bunch of years now.  This year I've got a mint green pin board I made & for Christmas put some glittered clothespins (red & white) on it to hold the Christmas cards in my kitchen.  I'm excited to try something new!  I've also seen the idea of painting a shutter red, putting it on the wall, & sliding Christmas cards in the slats.  So many ways to try out fun displays.

One of my favorite holiday traditions with young kids is reading the Advent Book with them each year.  It's the entire Christmas story from the Bible divided up into 25 pages to spread out through the month of December.  The kids love opening the doors on each page to read the story, & adding an extra page of the story each day.  Plus, they end up memorizing the Christmas story by the end!  The book is done by Jack & Kathy Stockman-- it's beautiful & a great family tradition.

Okay, that's about all I have.  I do think Tiny Prints has darling, trendy cards-- but I'm always too cheap to buy any.  I'm excited to earn some free ones this year...yay for freebies!
