Creative Christmas Cards

Our baby is due in January, so everyone already knows. I'm trying to think of creative christmas cards that do something fun with being pregnant, large tummy, etc. Any ideas?
wow - thanks so much for the great ideas! these are much better than any I found on my previous searches! :)

Good question...I'll be checking out all the answers. I am thinking of using my ultrasound photo in my christmas cards (we are due in Feb) but was trying to come up with something a bit more interesting

EDIT// you got me thinking so I went and played around in photoshop with my ultrasound pic and put a santa hat on the profile pic we got. It looks pretty cute

I am sending picture cards with my regular cards this year, if you go on snapfish or shutterfly you can get like 20 or 50 prints for free just pay shipping and you can send those in every card, thats what I am doing.

I'll get about 100 christmas photo cards from friends and family over the next month. What is a creative and attractive way to display them in my home? Most of the cards are flat, like a large post card. My house is very small.

Well, I always put our cards up on our fireplace mantle with some decorations...I do that for every holiday. We don't get 100 cards though, that many cards up there would look tacky.

If you don't have a fireplace, maybe find another type of ledge to put them on? You dont really need to display all of them, do you?

what would be creative and unique for five kids in a christmas card photo?

Try something with the theme from "The Twelve Days of Christmas". They would be the five golden rings. You can probably make the rings from wreath forms and spray paint or ribbon. You could put their manes on the rings if they hold them.

Dress them in green and pose them in a triangle like a tree (3 kids on bottom row, 2 in middle and 1 on top. You can decorate them, perhaps add a few poinsettias, or take the pictures in the woods with real trees for the background.

Put on Santa hats and pose on surfboards at the beach. Or on snowboards in the mountains, depending on where you live.

Dress one like Santa and the other four can be reindeer pulling a sleigh.

Dress them in overalls and flannel shirts and have them pull a wagon with their just-cut Christmas tree on it. That would be great as sepia tone.

Wrap them in boxes like presents and put them under (or around) the tree. (Of course, cut an opening for their faces or heads to show!)

If you're religious, do a nativity scene with them as the characters.

With five children it makes the shooting more difficult, but the asthetics and poses can be more varied than with just one or two children, odds are somehow more pleasing to the eye in arrangements than evens are. You don't say how old the kids are. If you have young babies and toddlers, it will limit the things you can do in posing and attention span. So have everything ready, and go at a good time of day when everyone is rested, fed, and as happy as possible. It would be great if you have a helper, especially if there are young children involved. It sounds like fun, I wish I could help!

I have to make one for my language project, and it HAS to be creative. I was thinking about making something pop out inside the card, but I just don't know what. Any ideas.

OK, I DID THIS FOR MY DAD THIS YEAR!! Make a snowman!! Then, take like mints that you get by the cash registers on the way outta the store (wrap them in cling wrap), and glue it to the body (this will be buttons and eyes). Then put like arms and legs on. Then, you put a broom stick and glue a hot cocoa mix (like in the small pakages) to it. You can even add a hat (put like lafft taffy on the brim or something). Then on the back, write a cute little saying. OR ANYOTHER IDEA! Cut out shapes in the shape of band-aids. And glue one to the front. Then, write "Words of Wisdom" and put little sayings on the "Band Aids" and glue them on the inside. On the front write "Apply Directly To The Mind"! GoOd LuCk!! :)
