Christmas card making fun
Every year I like to make my own christmas cards for family and friends from photographs of the children. This year is no exception. I saw something on pinterest which I thought was a fantastic idea, so I set to work.
I printed templates of a father christmas, reindeer and angel mask, coloured them in and cut them out, minus the faces. I stuck them on card and stuck a wooden (blunted) skewer to them.
I set up a slightly christmassy background and got the children to stand in front of it holding up their masks. Here is the result……
I then printed the photo onto a card. This was the result……
I am quite pleased with how this turned out.
The great thing about this card is, firstly, my friends and family get a very personalise card, secondly, my children had a lot of fun posing for the picture and thirdly, they now have some fantastic christmas masks to play with……It’s a win all round in my book 
Great idea! These make for some awesome Christmas cards! And like you said, now they have masks to play with too – bonus!
Thank you, it was lots of fun and we now have christmas cards and masks too
What a cute idea

Very clever, I always plan on doing home-made, and end up frantically buying charity ones a week before christmas and posting them!
Thanks, I think it has worked well

Yes, pinterest is fantastic!
I love homemade cards, these are ace!
Thanks, we like doing them each year
Really cute! Love personalised cards..you did we’ll to get a good picture of all of them!
It wasn’t too hard this time (for once) as they were having fun with the masks
That looks great. I always used to set up a festive photo of the kids for family we don’t see very often, but I’ve totally failed this year! Popping over from Clairejustine.
Now I love this, pinterest is so inspiring sometimes.
