Make a “meaningfully green” holiday greeting card
by Corey
My daughter, Zoe (age 8), loves to draw.
So each holiday season, instead of buying greeting cards for family and friends, we feature one of her sweet images, custom created for the front of that year’s card.
Meaningful? Check.
Green? Not yet.
We green up the cards by printing them on 100% recycled content paper, purchased at our local office supply store.
The icing on the (eco) cake? We save money, too.
Here is Zoe’s 2009 Holiday Card. (Outside of the card above; inside of the card, below):
Are your 2009 holiday cards DIY? Have ideas you’d like to share? We’d love to hear ‘em – just add your comments, below.
