I pin the cards onto a large bulletin board that hangs in a high-traffic area of our home. (I trim some to get them all to fit nicely.) It is nice to see our friends and family all year round. When the holidays roll around again, I collect the cards in a bin as the arrive and when they've all come in, I update the collage with the new year's arrivals, recycling the previous year's cards.

I came across this post today and started right away sorting my Christmas cards and other invitations, ticket stubs, etc from the 4 years we have been married. It's so great to finally make a decision on how to organize them, instead of waiting on time to scrapbook - matching photos to events and printing photos takes too much time for me! I have sorted my photo cards in an accordian file until I can get to the store to buy an album. The rest of the sentimental items without photos are going in a hardcover notebook as collage pages organized by year. Thanks for always inspiring me to live organized!Maryhttp://www.maredesignboutique.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-74594881150460188762013-01-12T08:31:40.597-06:002013-01-12T08:31:40.597-06:00What a great idea.

I only keep ones from family members/relatives..I try to make sure if the family that has sent it hasn't dated it or put names/ages of children,etc. on the back, I write it on myself. I am careful to use a pen that will not press through the photos. My siter-in-law uses wide labels, and writes on the labels first, then sticks on back of photo..thus not marring the photo. This can be done by computer or one's own handwriting.<br /><br />You showed putting the Holiday photo cards in order by year..but you mentioned that the album has magetic pages..I always thought those pages were not good for photos and not acid free..Have you ever tried to remove photos after years of being in one of those albums? Almost impossible to do without damaging the photos.."Been there, done that!" Maybe the new type of albums have improved to include acid free paper?Betty819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-84896055974176892292012-02-21T01:35:26.124-06:002012-02-21T01:35:26.124-06:00found you by clicking on a comment you left on a a...found you by clicking on a comment you left on a another blog, your blog looks great !, also as a newbie i am impressesed on how your top menu looks, that's my next target !, any tips ? ,Dineshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16692712166454156667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-1254943941783995062012-02-16T23:45:07.678-06:002012-02-16T23:45:07.678-06:00I love this idea of repurposing calendars and card...I love this idea of repurposing calendars and cards:<br /><br />http://sueneal.blogspot.com/2011/12/blog-post.htmlPattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15072483188757345631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-19255645634437530322012-02-16T20:02:28.822-06:002012-02-16T20:02:28.822-06:00I like to save holiday photos from cards, too, but...I like to save holiday photos from cards, too, but I organize them by person. Each family has a page (or several, if we have been exchanging cards for years) and I cut out the picture part of their card and stick it in next to previous years' pictures, labeling names and the date. It is fun to see the families change, children grow, etc. Some of our friends' pages start with their wedding announcement picture and we still get cards from them today! It is great!Adrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508789492525797399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864666002840991252.post-36593030023486239242012-02-16T18:20:29.763-06:002012-02-16T18:20:29.763-06:00I upcycle our cards too!

As some...Just depends on your personal preference. As someone who doesn't typically keep too many things, I do love to hold on to holiday greeting cards {the ones with photos}. I adore my friends and family, therefore it's important to me to dedicate one photo album to them. It was so fun organizing all of the greetings and looking back at how everyone has grown and changed over the years. It's also great for my kiddos to be able to see photos of our friends and family that reside around the country. And as sad as it is, I just don't get to personally take photos of many family members due to distance and busy schedules. This way, I get at least one of them each year. xoxo!
