i'd like to do it this year- i have a great black and white picture i want to use- it goes horizontally. i'd like it to be just a simple card- and just one page- not like a regular card when you open and close it. but i also want it to have some space for me to write a little personalized note on it. any ideas? i've attached the picture.

i was thinking of writing directly ON the picture in a red medium point permanent marker in the upper left hand corner since there's nothing really going on on that side of the pic. i think i just need to get some cardstock to post the picture on. ....thoughts? ideas?

you could create a transparent white space on the left hand side there, so you can still see the picture behind it, yet white enough to where if you wrote anything, they could read it.

get some glossy card stock and you're good to go :)

or you could probably upload the picture to any sites like vistaprint.com artscow.com and many others and just have it printed professionally for a very cheap price.

I am loving that picture, candypants.
I've never made my own cards, sorry to not be of help.
But it is going to be great. Three of you looking amazing.

That picture would make the perfect card! www.winkflash.com allows you to make cards, postcards, etc. with your photos. You can go plain or add borders and text. I just ordered mine for Christmas and they were 40% off.
