Brought To You By Shutterfly!!!

It is so much fun to send out Christmas Cards now that we have kiddos. I look forward to it so much more than when we would just sign our names to a fifty pack of boxed cards from Walmart. We both LOVE designing photo cards. There are so many fun ideas and editing options you can do these days. One of our favorite photo keepsake sites is Shutterfly. We have made many different photo books for a variety of occasions and we are just addicted now! Not only are they easy to make, but they turn out beautifully and are so much easier to manage than our old, BIG, bulky photo albums. We also love making calendars here... what a great gift they make!

Now, back to Christmas Cards... we have "oohed and ahhed" at their Christmas Card designs in the past, but never went through with designing any. We are so excited to finally get our Christmas Cards through Shutterfly this year!

The card we pick will depend a lot on the pictures we are able to capture of our kids. At this age, they are so wiggly and you never know what you are going to get! I love that Shutterfly has so many different style options. I'm talking HUNDREDS of them! Here are the links to some of my favorites, each a different style...

If we could get a perfect close up of the kids (I know it's possible!), I would pick this card.

I think our overall style as a family is pretty simple, so this card might work out nicely.

It would also be fun do dress up and do a fancy portrait for a card like this. It's just beautiful.

Lastly, if the posing thing just isn't working out, this card might be the one we'll go with. So fun and I love the colors!

We hope this gives you some ideas and inspiration on Holiday Card designing, because we all know that Christmas is right around the corner!!! Look for us in your mailbox soon ;-)

P.S. If you are a blogger like me, you can recieve 50 free cards from Shutterfly! Find out how here.
