Easy Christmas Card

I need some ideas, preferably something that I can do with my 3 years old son. They will be used Christmas morning on the breakfast table. It would also be good if I could use things I have around the house instead of buying anything.

Make some from old Christmas cards.

Super quick Xmas Card using masking techniques...Thanks for watching:)

What is the easiest way to get my Christmas card list which is in Microsoft Word set up to print my envelopes? Please be specific. Thank You.

Leaving the Mail Merge process itself out of the discussion, Word can take several different file formats as mailing lists. Usually, they're in Excel or Access, but another Word file is also possible.

In general, separate your fields (first name, last name, the typical parts of the address) with a specific character that won't normally occur in any of your text. A tab character or a semi-colon might do. A blank will probably not work.

Then, put each record (one name and address) on a single line. I would suspect and hope Mail Merge will accept a single paragraph, but I'm not sure.

When Mail Merge asks you for the Data Source, find and select this file. You'll be asked about the field and record delimiters, and you'll select the ones you set up above.

A word of warning. You'll get the best use out of this if you re-use the list year after year, adding and subtracting names each year. The first year, with all the set up, is always the hardest. The payback comes after that.

Good luck.

I look for a picture editing program which can create digital photo or other picture to Christmas card. If the program has a lot of templates such as Greeting Cards, Christmas Cards will best. Anyone know a easy to use tool as the description?

Go to CropMom (http://www.cropmom.com), then upload your photo to the site via the My Photos page (you have to register, which is free, and be logged in to add photos).

Then click Get Started and choose to make a new layout. Choose one of the 5" by 7" canvas sizes because that's perfect for a greeting card. Drag and drop your photo on the canvas. Then drag and drop any of CropMom's thousands of digital scrapbook graphics onto your canvas.

One of the best "kits" on the site to use is the Home for the Holidays kit. In the lower left corner, use the drop-down menu for Kits to choose Home for the Holidays.

You can resize and rotate photos and graphics by clicking on them. You can add your own text in the color of your choice.

After you've finished your greeting card, click save.

Then go to the My Layouts page, and click to enlarge that layout. You can now download your layout in low-resolution for free. The low-resolution JPEG file you download is great for sharing on the Web or for e-mailing to friends and family.

Or, you can click the pink purchase button to purchase the high-resolution JPEG of your layout. This is what you'll need so that your layout can be printed. The high-resolution layout costs under $2.

Now, you can either choose to print your greeting card at home. Or you can have it printed by Snapfish, Shutterfly or a similar online photofinisher.

It's easy. It's inexpensive. And you'll end up with a greeting card with far better graphics than what you can get with a lot of picture-edting programs.

I have a few christmas cards and want to display them in my room without taking up surface space.
Any ideas would be appreciated :)

If you have venetian blinds, mini-blinds, or horizontal shutters on your windows, you can slip the cards right over the slats.
