Christmas Cards

I have a new found love for Shutterfly. I have used Snapfish for years and even used a professional to make a personal design for my announcements for Grace and Olivia. But last Christmas I decided to use Shutterfly for our Christmas cards and just loved them. They are a little more pricey then Snapfish but less money then a professional.

Some reasons I love them...
~They have SO many designs to chose from. Their designs are cute and modern, not just squares to place your pictures.
~I love to design several cards with our favorite photos and family name, save them, then I look at them for days before I can decide which are more favorites. There are so many that I love that is always hard to chose my favorite.
~It is fast and easy to load up our pictures. And once you place your pictures in one card you can chose to change your card design which saves your pictures. It makes it so much easier to play with different designs.
~The quality of the card is excellent. I love the matte finished. It makes the cards more sturdy and a little harder to bend. I also thinks it is what makes it look professional
~Once your pictures are in the card it is easy to edit the pictures, to crop them or move the picture around to better fit it's square.

This is the card I used or our birth announcements. The pink and gray is what I feel in love with. So is the different fonts that are used. You can go here to find this all the choices for announcements.

This is my Christmas Card from last year. I fell in love with it because of the Monogram letter for our last name. I love that they have categories even for their photo cards. I hate cards that say, "Happy Holidays". Christmas is all about the saviors birth so I'd like my cards to say Merry Christmas or something a little meaningful. I can pick "Merry Christmas" or "Religious Christmas Cards" and it takes out all the just holiday cards. You can go here to find the photo cards.

I have Grace's and Olivia's birthday coming up after the beginning of the year and have thought about using this card for one of them. It is so cool because even though it says "4" in the center, you can go in and change it to any age you need to. Go here to find the birthday cards.
