He loves his christmas and so should you!

So spread that holiday cheer and make that everyday
room a little more hip-happen’n for the holidays, and
remind your family of all of those incredible memories!

You know the ones; Chasing down the family tree with
Dad, alla-christmas vacation style, freezing your tail off,
as he hikes to the nethermost part of the woods to find
that “perfect tree”.

Then strap’n it to the roof of the family wagon, crossing
your fingers that little piece of twine will hold, ’til you can
get it home to decorate together, as you sip your tongue
burning hot chocolates and dance merrily to those age
old christmas tunes…ohhhhhh yeahhhhh!!!!!

Or better yet pick up few and gift them to your friends

Holiday Card Bonanza!!!

November 28, 2014November 28, 2014 | onthetrolley77

It’s that time of year!

Time to send out your very best, be it truth or lies, to all those you care the most about, or to those you kinda-maybe-sorta care the most about, or at least to those you care enough about to make them insanely jealous of all your incredibly awesome accomplishments.

Good news, we can help!

That’s right, we carved up 3 new cards for the holidays and hope you will get in on the fun. You can use these along with your favorite family pic or just add a friendly holiday greeting and “get it in the post” (say it with the accent) to your Auntie Em across the pond.

Here’s some ideas we put together:

A. B. C.

A. JOY: A7 Card (5″x 7″ Landscape) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra with a 4″ x 4″ pic.

B. PEACE LOVE & EGGNOG: A7 Card (5″x 7″ Portrait) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra with a 4″ x 4″ pic. (Also added some fancy gold lick’em stick ’em photo frame corners!)

C. NOEL: #10 Card (9.75″x 3.875″ Landscape) Printed on Cranes 110# Lettra 3.5″ x 5″ pic.

We just used a little double stick tape to attach the pics, but hey why stop there?
Get crazy, use brads, glue down some ribbon, you could even go as far as sewing on the the pictures. Main idea here is to get creative and have fun with it!

There is one catch though team… they are in limited supply.

So what are you waiting for?
