Ok update on our Xmas cards: Still went with VistaPrint but I went with a more basic layout inspired by Caroline's; so took the photos to adobe, and manipulated them more; I wasnt happy with my original cloring in the first card, and our kitten is mostly white faced with 2 prominent spots. So I edited the extra gray out.
Here it is; front and back-I paid only for shipping and envelopes (a total of less than $20 bucks)since they had a sale; 100 postcards for free. Its not the tradiitional fold card but hey, we didnt even GET christmas cards last year! Doing it mostly as follow up courtesy to the wedding. I had sooo many christmas fonts lol that I wanted to try them out.
I did the back more traditional because DH lies that and marriage is about compromise...or so they say
