Stage a whimsical holiday card scene showing your real family faux sledding.

Prep Time: Afternoon or Evening
What you need:
	Scissors Poster board Glue stick Red fade-proof paper Photo corners Christmas tree stamp and green ink Camera for photo
Seasons: Christmas
Materials: paper
Instructions:
1.	To make the photo, set up a snow-covered hill in your house using sofa pillows or a futon. Cover the hill with white quilt batting, white bedsheets or blankets, and hang a white or blue sheet in the background. Enlist a friend to shoot pictures while your family pretends to zoom down the hill on a toboggan. This effect is particularly funny if you happen to live in, say, Arizona.
2.	To make the card, trim the poster board to 7 by 10 inches, folding it in half for a 5- by 7-inch card. Glue a 5- by 7-inch piece of red paper onto the front. Center your photo over this, and secure it with photo corners. Decorate the border with the rubber stamp.

Variations
If you prefer a homemade but less comical card, take a traditional family holiday portrait (in front of a decorated living room fireplace, for example) and mount it in the same manner as the toboggan picture. Then decorate the border with a variety of rubber stamps, such as stars and ornaments.
