Receiving Christmas cards is one of my absolute favorite things, especially photo cards. Living hundreds of miles away from friends and family, and it's so nice to have new photos to display each holiday season. (Yes, I'm that crazy old lady with Christmas cards on her refrigerator in August.) Getting married last year, we finally got a list together of everyone's addresses, so we went from sending 20 cards in 2013 to 75 in 2014. Now, making new and wonderful friends in Charleston, that number has risen to 90. Phew, that's a lot of stamps! Let's just say that it was a small miracle that I got them all licked, stamped, and in the mailbox in time to link up today with our card:
For the second year in a row, we went with a Minted design. I just love their styles and had the toughest time narrowing it down! We finally decided on moments of jolly. There's extra space to personalize each of the cards, and I liked how our photos didn't overwhelm it. To make my life easier, especially upping the card count to 90, I decided to use Minted's free addressing service. It didn't take that long at all to reformat my Christmas card list into their Excel template, and it saved a lot of hand cramping!
Of course, I also had to go with the Charlie Brown stamps this year. The scenes are so cute, and Charlie Brown Christmas has always been a favorite of mine!

Love them so pretty! Love the past years photos as well can't believe you send out 90!!!!! Oh my! Hehe.. Love getting cards in the mail as well!
What a pretty card! It also isn't too Christmasey looking so it would be perfectly acceptable to keep on your fridge year round ;)
I love the Charlie Brown stamps! How stinkin' cute!
I just won a Minted giveaway & I cant wait to try them.
I bought extra Charlie Brown stamps just because - arent they the cutest
Very cute cards, I hear Minted is great. I would love to use them in the future! We used Charlie Brown stamps too!
Your card is gorgeous! So nice you had them addressed too!
Those cards are beautiful! I was so excited this year to have my wedding guest list because it made sending them so much easier! I couldn't justify splurging on Minted, but they are stunning! Maybe next year. :)

Oh I LOVE the cards you picked out! The address formatting is such a good idea too!
I love your card! I got the Charlie Brown stamps too and I love them. :)
It really is amazing how much your list grows every year! Your cards are so adorable, and we used the Charlie Brown stamps this year too!
Signed, sealed delivered - that's what I did yesterday too! I was bummed because our professional pictures for the card got cancelled so I had to scramble around to figure out a picture but it got done and they are in the mail today! I feel like not many people are sending them out this year, whether it be laziness (yes I have friends who have told me this is their reason) or the cost to make them. My response to that one is, its your choice but I don't feel right if I don't, ha!
I love these!! And as a huge "Peanuts" fan, I love the stamps too ;)
Love your cards & those stamps :)

I love your card! I sent a picture with one of the lit up palm tree with the Marion Square tree a few years ago before Adam and I did joint cards. Speaking of, I still need to order mine... Haha I suck!

Always enjoy this time of year - especially getting fun cards in the mail!! You did a great job, yours look awesome!
Such pretty Christmas cards and I loved the Charlie Brown stamps this year too!
I love the cards you choose. Minted had some awesome options, and I love their quality and services in general (we used them for our wedding invitations). And that free addressing service is THE BEST! We used the Charlie Brown stamps too, so festive.
I love the cards that you chose - they are indeed so fun!
Love the Oh What Fun theme! We don't do Christmas cards yet but I love seeing everyone else's!

Love those charlie brown stamps! I bought mine at CVS and they only had 4th of July ones... sad :(
Love that card! Photo cards are my favorite, so fun to get!
Your cards are so pretty! I tried so hard to find those stamps in my town but no such luck!
I love Minted. I seriously have never seen a card I didn't like. Your design is perfect. So cute! Thanks so much for linking up!
Love!!! They turned out so so so great! Minted can do no wrong - did you print your envelopes through them, too?
