have a look online - last year we had some made for an animal charity but they were not all that cheap... very nice though.
Maybe try buying photo paper for your printer or getting Boots to do you copies and then putting on the front or inside a nice card from a craft shop?DFW Nerd #025DFW no more! Officially debt free 2017 - now joining the MFW's!

On-line companies such as Truprint and Photobox very often have a "free prints" offer. Worth taking advantage of.0

We do ours at home using Microsoft Publisher, just pick a digital photo & place it in the centre of our chosen boarder/design instead of clip art, then print off on stiffish photo paper & fold.

Last year my daughter (4 at the time) drew a lovely Christmas picture of a snowman. We scanned it and printed loads off onto plain a4 card and folded it in half. She then had great fun decorating each one with a sprinkling of silver glitter. We tried making each card individually but it took so long and she get got bored so scanning one fab picture worked better.
The year before we dressed her and her friends up as as angels:A and put her baby brother in a cardboard box full of straw (like baby Jesus). Again printed onto A4 card. It looked great! Had to take the photo really quickly though as little one was not able to sit up unaided and kept falling into the box!:rotfl:0 -
At the risk of being shot down in flames;) there is already a thread on greetings card/christmas cards. A quick search or click through the last 3/4 pages would have found it. Starting new threads on existing subjects makes more work for the BG who have to merge them.
I'm not being mean but with all the cuffuffle or yesterday we really should not slip back to sloppy pracitces that make the board untidy and difficult to use.Life's a beach! Take your shoes off and feel the sand between your toes.0
