Bright and whimsical photo holiday cards

I don’t throw the word “obsessed” out very often BUT that’s just what I am–absolutely obsessed with holiday cards. I will go through every single page of every website looking for the best ones. I will trade out my pictures on every single one on their site. I plan out the outfits to match the cards I think I might use. I spend HOURS hand writing the envelopes, picking out the stamps. I LOVE THEM. I love getting them, looking at them, feeling the weight of the paper, seeing what gel pen they decided to use on which colored envelopes. Honestly, just writing this out is therapeutic. SO, I decided to make a round up of my favorites–bright and whimsical photo holiday cards! This is entirely not sponsored, but I figured, if I’m going to spend the time, it might as well benefit someone else besides me. Ha!

Here are few of them from the past:

Do you also do Christmas/holiday cards? I have a few friends that don’t see the point in them, but to me, they help ring in the season and help me stay in touch with friends and family on a tangible level. You?

Minted collaboration with the MET

Once again, this is totally unsponsored, but I’m obsessed with the new collaboration between Minted and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET). They have some beautiful designs and colors inspired by some of their works of art and interpreted by Minted designers. I’m in LOVE! They’re making it very hard to choose.
