Rockin' around Shutterfly, it's a shutterfly-holiday!

For the past three years, I have used Shutterfly for Christmas Cards, Birth Announcements, and printing all of my pictures! I love the quality of their work and their service!! The desiI want to share with you their current promotion, so YOU can get in on the great things that shutterfly is doing, too!!

The first year I ordered with shutterfly I did a photo card; the color came out just as I saw online and I was so happy. Last year, I went with a cardstock 5x7 with holiday bells on it- I couldn't find a religous card that really worked for us. This year, I am so happy to see MORE of a selection of designs with a Christian Holiday theme! My choices are wider and for our family, that works!! I also browsed the other holiday choices and they are greater this year too!!! Everyone get's more of a choice this year- whatch out tiny prints, shutterfly is coming!!!

We are having our family portraits taken this weekend to use on our Christmas Card from Shutterfly.
I will decide if i want to use ONE or Two pictures on the card once I see our proofs, but i have pretty much narrowed own our choices to these two cards!

I love this one because we are wearing blue and brown in our pictures and this one will coordinate great! There is enough room to write a message not just names! I could do one traditional family picture, one artsy picture, and a picture of each of my sons! I just love this layout!



This one is another favorite! This one also coordinates with our blue and brown theme! This is a little bit more simple, but sometimes that is the best way to go! I love that the 2010 is big because i'll never forget which year this card came from!! The font's for joy and magic are great too! I would use this card as a 'folded' card, so I could have more room to write a message on the inside and really personalize the card for each person we send them too!
