Shutterfly Shout-Out

Hi, everyone! I’m going to take a small break from writing about the family to talk a little about the madness that is about to begin – Christmas! I love Christmas – don’t get me wrong – but there is always a big sigh of relief once it’s over. There’s the presents, the decorations, all the holiday events to attend… it can be a little crazy! One thing that I never have to worry about, however, is the Christmas cards! For the past few years, I have been using a website called Shutterfly (www.shutterfly.com) to create my cards. I always thought making photo cards would be complicated and expensive, but Shutterfly makes it easy and affordable. I have used them for Christmas cards, photo gifts, and birth announcements, and the finished product is always so beautiful!

This is our first “family” Christmas card, courtesy of Shutterfly (it's a little blurry, but you get the idea!):

I like our Christmas card from 2008 because it allowed us to use several photos which, in turn, helped tell a story:

You can use Shutterfly to spread some Holiday cheer too! Go here: http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards and have fun loading all your pictures and playing around with different cards.

Here is an example of one of the birth announcements we have created using Shutterfly:

Again, I know I’ve got some readers who are new parents or who are about to become parents for the first time. Check out the birth announcements on Shutterfly and you’ll have a beautiful addition to your baby book! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/baby-cards-stationery/birth-announcements?c=60461

I’m a loyal Shutterfly customer and can’t speak highly enough about the customer service and product quality. I have never been disappointed with my projects, and I highly recommend them for all of your photo creation needs!

Another thing I love about Shutterfly? They are giving me 50 Christmas Cards for FREE just for bragging about them on my blog! If you have a blog, you should check out this offer too :) http://bit.ly/sfly2010
