Letter to Santa

Who are we kidding? "Santa" has been building/buying presents for over a month now, but tis the season for magic.

One special tradition is for your child to write Santa a letter. And I have created a printable letter that you can send.

Doehler Christmas Card 2011

Our cards arrived this week from the printer I use, K2 Print Studio, and they are so wonderful! It can be hit or miss sometimes when using a linen paper, but the paper is covered with saturated ink and the linen texture adds a touch of elegance. I highly recommend using them for any design needs. I used them last year for our cards as well, and I have not been disappointed.

You can purchase this card design here.

(I was not compensated by K2 Print Studio. These are purely my thoughts and opinions).
