DIY Christmas e-cards and gift tags

It's that time of the year again and I'm thinking of what our Christmas e-card concept will be this year.
What's more exciting is we are now four! It's also a great way of showing relatives and friends all over the world how our family and the kids have grown.

Just so you'll know we do a self-timer, a.k.a "sariling sikap" family photo and I just do the editing for our Christmas e-cards and labels. Laking tipid diba?

For the past years here are the e-cards I came up with:

In 2010 we had two versions, the Belen/Nativity:

and a bright red Christmas

In 2011, winter wonderland lang ang peg:

Last year, balls galore:

Hope none of them ends up in http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ hehe!

I also did our personalized gift tags:

2010

2011

2012

This year, here's my draft:

Pero who knows, it may change, depending on our family photo shoot this year. I'm browsing through various concepts in the net for this year's e-card, here are some cool ones:

How about you guys, any ideas?

National Heroes' Day

Another holiday this August but we just decided not to go to the malls. Nakaka-umay din pala. Anything that has to do with the family, kahit hindi malling masaya parin talaga. So pictorial mode lang kami sa house that day. Our little photographer R had some shots of her own:


L-R clockwise: selfie foot shot, pasimpleng kurot kay JD, half selfie, The Conjuringkinking

We also had our family pic taken. We converted R's room into a mini studio. Viola, that's the photo in my new blog header.

Dahil ginutom kami with all the posing, we decided to have meryenda. Kaso walang parking anywhere sa Maginhawa street so we went to Katipunan instead. We had meryenda sa Brothers Burgers.



Afterwards, we went to National Bookstore and got R some stamps, craft punchers and scissors. Enjoy si Bagets.
