Silhouette cards - Make sure they get your good side.
Every year, our families bug us about our holiday cards because we only send pictures of the kids. I guess my husband and I never figured that anyone would actually want to see our mugs too. Besides, it's pretty hard getting a candid family shot that doesn't look like total cheese.

 If you're looking for a creative card option to represent the family, skip the photo options and try the silhouette ornament cards from Chick Print. Mom and artist Madeley Rodriguez will create your silhouettes (pets too!) and print them along with your holiday message in archival inks.

Plus, black silhouettes are incredibly slimming. Perfect for postpartum moms like me who are not ready to make any type of photo appearance. -Kristen
