This time last year I used Shutterfly to send out our birth announcements. I can’t tell you how excited I am to be doing normal, happy holiday cards this year.
I had a really hard time choosing this year’s holiday greeting card. First of all, Shutterfly is home to some of my favorite designers, like Erin Condren. How cute are her Christmas cards?
I tried recreating that pose with Scarlette but she just looked at me like “Why are you making me fly above the couch, woman? I just want to eat those blocks over there.” So we scrapped that one.
I am also really enamored with the idea of a timeline photo card because let’s face it, it’s been QUITE the year around here. I love the new story format cards.
In the end I went with something more traditional, because we had our first family portraits made and I wanted to show it off. You’ll have to peek in your mailbox to see what we chose but I will tell you that I was thrilled that the folded cards allow you to put up to twelve mini photos on the inside of a card. Just perfect to showcase a little girl’s first year of life, don’t you think?
If you go to the Special Offers section of Shutterfly, you’ll find an excellent coupon code for holiday cards 😉 Currently CARD40 will give you 40% off, which is a pretty great deal.
(p.s. I was compensated for this post with 25 free Christmas cards from Shutterfly. I accepted the offer because I frequently use Shutterfly for my personal photo printing needs so all opinions are my own.)
