Q: Are personalised Christmas cards (the ones with a photo of your family on) cute or corny?
We have a 1 year old & I just want to show everyone (family etc) what he looks like now. So shall we do personalised Christmas cards with a photo of the three of us, or should I just include a photo in the cards?

A: Great idea. Family needs photos of loved ones. Try going to hobby lobby and picking up a med size tin box, with a hole in the lid that a picture would slide into. Than bake a batch of homemade cookies nad line the tins with wax paper and fill it up with your cooled cookies. Cookies in a cute box with your baby's picture on top. Great.

Q: Christmas Cards and NYC, Where to Take Photo?
My husband and I will be visiting NYC this year for the first time in early December. My questions is, where is the best place to take a picture for our holiday greeting cards? I want it to be obvious we're in New York City. Since I have never been, I don't know what will look good in photos. I know some people hate photo greeting cards, but we love sending and receiving them. I like seeing updated photos of my distant friends and family every year. Thanks in advance!

A: The tree (and skating rink) at Rockefeller Center. Radio City Music Hall. The giant snowflake at 5th Avenue and 57th Street. The "Human Christmas Tree" of carolers at the South Street Seaport. Central Park. The Empire State Building at night, lit up for Christmas with green and red lights. Holiday windows at Lord and Taylor, Bloomingdale's, Macy's, etc.

Q: Where's the best place to buy Christmas photo insert cards, preferably for a wallet size photo?
We're getting a portrait package made next weekend at Olin Mills. They can make greeting cards for us but they are expensive. So, I wanted to get a card that says "Merry Christmas" or whatever and has little slots where I can insert our family photo and mail to relatives.

A: Do you have a photo shop in your area? If so ask that or get the wallet sized photo of wateva and decorate it with merry christmas stickers ect. it would be more special if it were home made

Q: Christmas Photo Cards-Where to Buy?
Looking for christmas photo card websites that are not too pricey.

A: Costco or Sam's club offer photo cards at very affordable prices. Just take a photo in and choose from one of dozens of designs - you can get 50 cards with envelope for around $16-$20.

Q: Do you think it would be weird to have a picture of my boyfriend and I in a Christmas card photo?
We have been together just about a year and are very serious, so it's not like a fling or short relationship. But does the notion of a Christmas card photo seem more like something that should be reserved for a married couple and/or family only? I just don't want it to seem silly or tacky.

A: It depends on who you're giving it to. It's your christmas card, do whatever you want haha, but one of my aunts made some comment to my cousin's boyfriend (of 3 years) that she was glad he was "still around" (like she was surprised, and this is after she asked if we should have him in the family reunion photo). If you're really worried about it, use your dog or something. It's not like he's the flavor of the week or etc., and as long as you aren't a teenager it's not that bad, but people may think it's a bigger deal than it is. What do you really gain by having a Christmas card with the two of you? What do you really lose by doing it? It's not that big of a deal, and anyone in your family who would freak out about it doesn't deserve a card haha

Q: How do I add clip art to create a Christmas photo card?
I would like to design a Christmas photo, and add Santa Hats on my kids heads, add presents in the background but I can not find any clip art to do this in Adobe Photoshop. I just bought the software and it does not offer any thing about clipart to photos, just to slides. Help

Q: What can I do with all these photo cards and Christmas pictures people sent us through the holidays?
I don't have much time for scrapbooking and looking for creative ideas of what to do with them. Thanks!

A: Put them in a bucket or a little Decorative looking box

Q: Christmas photo in cards?
I was wondering if it would be appropriate to send a picture with me, my boyfriend of 10 months and his dog in our christmas cards? It would be a semi-formal pic we would do in our living room and i would be sending out to only close friends and family. Is this tacky since we are not married?

A: I don't think it's "tacky." It's just showing how much you enjoy spending time with your bf to your friends and family, as well as what's going on in your life. Someone might not like it, but it's going to be the same person that finds fault in everything/everyone and that kind of person is impossible to please, so don't worry.
