It is November 1st, so of course it is time to start thinking about Christmas!! I probably spend more time thinking about my Christmas cards and Christmas pics than the average person, although I probably spend more time thinking about pictures in general than the average person. We just got back from Disneyland, where I took over 700 pictures in 3 days (I kid you not!). I can’t wait to get them printed!!
Last year, we did our family Christmas cards through Shutterfly and they turned out beautifully! We got so many compliments on them and many of my family members have the card framed in their homes still.
This is the one we used…. I still LOVE it!
Looking through their selection of Holiday Cards, I know I am going to have a hard time choosing. For me, I love simplicity. I love the folded cards and I love the cards that have one picture that take up the entire front of the card with a Christmas message overlay. Here are my top pics, which of course will be narrowed down once we get our family photos taken.
This is a flat card, which isn’t my first choice, but I LOVE the words on it and it is easier on the pocketbook!!
This one is flat, too, but I LOVE it!!
Ok, so I guess I like a lot of the flat ones this year….
I love the bright colors on this one, too!
This is my front-runner right now, although I could look for hours and hours!!
Do you have a good sense of my style? Check them out for yourself, though, there are lots of other options out there to suit YOUR style, too!
I can’t wait to get some photos taken up in the mountains for our Christmas cards and at the Santa’s workshop event we are going to for Thanksgiving weekend!
On the slim chance that we could get matched or placed between now and Christmas, I am going to order late and have my cards there the week of Christmas!!
I think my family is really getting tired of getting photo gifts from me, I this year I am going to be asking for some instead of giving some. I LOVE photobooks, but do you know what? I don’t even have ONE. I always make them and give them away. I really want a photo book of our trip to Disney last week (a post about that coming sooooon!) and would like one from last year’s trip to Michigan.
They also have TONS and TONS of potential Christmas gifts. I am looking at the luggage tags for my traveling step-mom and I think R would go BONKERS over a Dora book with her picture and name in it.






I love shutterfly too!! And I love ALL those choices! Our photographer ordered ours with a package this year, so I am not going to have to choose from shutterfly:). The time is coming though! Can’t wait to hear about your big trip:).
