Shutter(fly)bug

So, we are joining the many who are blogging about their christmas cards this year.  Shutterfly is a great resource for ordering not only christmas cards, but also other gifts, like calendars and magnets and personalized gifts.  We've used shutterfly over the years for all of our cards, calendars and magnets, and are excited to have them make this year's as well.  Several years ago, we used our dog, Parker, dressed as an elf, on one of their photo cards, some of you may remember that card….he was not happy!

There are so many different styles and these are a few of my favorite this year:

I love that Shutterfly has such a wide selection.  You can make a very simple, classic card, or you can be all modern or even go with a retro style.  And the colors on their cards are great!  When they are printed they always look better than when you ordered them.

And, last year, when Arabelle joined us, we made a calendar for the first time....it turned out great!  Our relatives were very happy to receive one.  And, it was so easy to make!

We already have our holiday photo card picked out, so you will have to wait to see which one we picked.  But because of their great selection it was hard to decide.  We can't wait to send ours out!  And, we’ve also made another calendar this year.  How could you not!  It’s a nice gift to give, especially since we live so far away from relatives.  I have also always wanted to make one of the photo books they offer.   It seems very easy to make and it would be a great way to archive pictures.  It's on my to do list!

Hope you are enjoying this holiday season!  If you haven’t picked out your cards yet, Shutterfly is a great company to use….and you still have time to get those cards out!
