Great ideas! Thanks for the input ladies. I might try the bubble beards.

I found this site that I thought that had some really cute ideas:

Here is what we did last year:

I bought the big plastic candy cane at the dollar store and took it to the photo shoot. Aiden was at that stage where EVERYTHING went in his mouth so this shot turned out to be kind of cute on the card! I love the idea of humorous family pics - it would really stand out among all the usual, boring, everyone-face-front-and-smile cards! LOL!

So many adorable ideas. I think I might have to get a little more creative this year.

Here is what I might do for my girls...put them in santa hats, white shirts & red tu tu's & have the card say Wishing you a holiday that is "Tu-Tu" Good! (I saw it online somewhere & thought it was such a cute idea!)

K...still on this theme, I need some help too! What kind of fabric do I need for a white backdrop? I have some black, but thought I'd try white this year. Anyone?

I may go for the "JOY" idea this year...

I don't know, that's where I need major help. I just got a nice camera this summer and want to do my own. I don't think we have enough light anywhere in our house, but I'd like to at least TRY--but I need a good backdrop! White or black! But I'm so so cheap, I need cheap stuff.

If you want cheap (which is what I always go for!) I just use knit fabric, that way it doesn't wrinkle. When you're done just throw it in the closet, and you don't ever have to iron it!!! (the iron and I are NOT friends!) Plus it looks great, white and black.
