Starting the Season off with Shutterfly!

Have you been to the mall lately?  It's Christmas, whether we're ready or not!  So, in the spirit of Christmas- it's time to send out Holiday cards.  My goal is to get them out before my friend Chrissy.  Since that won't happen, I'm just hoping to have them ready to go after our Thanksgiving trip.  


I have become addicted to Shutterfly.  I use them to print pictures and either ship them to myself or to the grandparents.  The program we use to edit our pictures has a very easy upload tool to Shutterfly.  Besides that, they always have great deals going on and are easy to use.  I posted a while ago that I finally finished Martin's 2 year baby book.  I used Shutterfly and thought it turned out great.  It looked just like the preview and they had so many designs and layouts to choose from.  


Since my pictures are already on there, it's no wonder I thought to use Shutterfly for my Christmas cards.  Happily, my friend Veronica posted that Shutterfly is doing a special promotion for bloggers.  I earn 50 free Christmas cards by blogging about Shutterfly's Christmas selection.  I have already been looking, so this was an easy post!


I am looking for a card for our family.  It must have "lots" of pictures!  My sister claims I never have enough pictures of the boys on our cards.  I also am looking for my parents card.  It's just easier for my sister and I to do their card and have the finished product sent to them!  We don't mind.  Especially this year, because I'm doing the pictures and my sister has to write the letter!:)  


Here are my top choices for our Christmas cards...

This one is awesome!  There are so many options for text and pictures inside of the card.  I love the brown too!

Joy & love.  Does it get much better than that?  I think my sister would be happy with the number of pictures on both of these cards.  

This one screams toddlers.  I love the bright colors.  Any of my pictures would look good in it.  

I'm thinking this one for my parents.  I have 3 pictures in mind for their card.  I love the ornaments.  

I also took a quick peek at the stationary section.  As a pastor's family, we get some gifts around Christmas time and I would love to have the thank you's ready to go.  I found some really cute ones that we could use!  My favorite...

this one.  

Happily, I found more than a few that I like.  Go ahead, think Christmas!  Even if it's not time for the tree, you can at least get started and send some love with Shutterfly.
