Each year, I save the best Christmas card 'fronts'. In the past, I've saved religious and non-religious themes to use for gift tags - I have a manilla envelope full of potential tags. I've used quite a few, but I must not give out enough gifts because it really doesn't seem like I've made a dent in the pile. Now, I only save the religious themed fronts; except for the snowman on a metal rim tag, that was just plain cute.
These are my picks from Christmas 2008 and 2007*, and they are beautiful. Some of them are definitely frameable. I am compelled to save them and must find a way to display them (maybe a picture here will suffice)!
*Yes, that's right, 2007. I just went through my Christmas 2007 cards! That means I moved a pile of old cards when we moved out to our new home. But, I'm done much earlier than usual with the current year.
One year for my daycare children, I used a large sheet of construction paper and the kids cut and put their favorites on all over, covering it up, cutting out favorite sayings and prayers, etc too. Then I took them and had them laminated and they had placemats!! It was a great way to keep those cards!
