One of my favorite things about holidays is finding a gift that is personalized. Last year when we were attending a different church, I was invited to an Shutterfly party hosted by one of the leaders of our small group class. Shutterfly let each person at the party make a personalized hardcover book and all we had to pay for was Shipping and Handling. Since then I have been hooked. Not only did I make a book of our 2009 summer family portraits but I also made a hardcover book for each of Jason's family members that covered his year in Iraq as their Christmas present. I really like the quality of the book Shutterfly provided and how quickly their turn around for the order was. Our 2009 Christmas cards came from there as well, and I absolutely love them. There are so many styles to choose from and the website is one of the easiest to upload pictures and edit the card or whatever project you may be doing. We just took our family pictures at the beginning of the month and I cannot wait to order my cards. Some of my favorite styles include the Pretty Poinsettia Print Fold Card:
Anyone that really knows me, knows how much I love the color red, and since our cards were red and brown last year I will try my best to do something a little different like the Joy Sage Story Christmas Card:
But I can't make any promises. I tend to be more attracted to the cards where one family photo will fit versus 2 or 3. The good thing about Shutterfly is regardless of your preference they have all different sizes, folded and flat, and matte and glossy prints.
This Retro Christmas Card would be perfect for any black and white picture.
The With Love Chartreuse Christmas 5x7 folded card offerred by Shuterfly as seen below is one of my
favorites for displaying more than one picture on the card.
Needless to say I have several cards I am considering to order for our 2010 Christmas card. Regardless of which one I choose I know that I will be satisfied through the options Shutterfly provides its customers.
