Making xmas card
I don't know how much you know about using graphics programs but if you want a really pro looking result try downloading Xara Xtreme Pro trial from xara.com

If you open the galleries module and search Clipart you will find Xmas card templates and it is relatively easy to paste your scanned image, add whatever text you want and produce a good looking card.

Atached is a sample
