Our Hopeful Home: Shutterfly Christmas cards

My Shutterfly family Christmas card 2010

Are you an early bird? When it comes to sending out your your Christmas cards, I mean. Well, I hope not! Because, personally, I love receiving those cards in the mail as late as the week before Christmas, right up until Christmas eve. It really helps put me in the Christmas spirit.

Last year we decided to use Shutterfly for our family cards, and were thrilled with our experience. That's why I was happy when they contacted me again this year to review their online cards. The selection is practically endless and the prices reasonable (especially when they're running one of their sales so check them out!).

Below are just a few of my favorite cards, as well as a great gift idea.

Coastal Wishes

We usually end up using a beach scene.

Classic Holly Frame

Black and white is classic.

Extra Sweet Tidings

Look at those colors!

With Love

I'm a sucker for monograms.

Photo Jewelry

I'm loving the charm bracelet idea. {Not a big surprise there, I guess.}

I can't wait to pick out this year's card and get started. Now if I could only settle on what photo to use......wish me luck.

In the spirit of full disclosure, Shutterfly is providing me with a small number of complimentary cards in exchange for this review. However, the stated opinions are my own.

I know, I know….Halloween isn’t even over yet and I’m already talking about Christmas! I wouldn’t normally be doing it this early but there IS one thing I think we all need to plan well in advance when it comes to Christmas ~ our Christmas cards! It doesn’t always happen in this house, but I’m tryin’!

Shutterfly offers SO many different options when it comes to Christmas greetings ~ traditional cards, photo cards, religious cards, even gift tags and party invitations. I spent quite some time on their site today picking out my favorites.

For invitations, I’m loving the Family Initial Wreath (my obsession with monograms is fueled here for sure!)

As a mom, I’m partial to photo cards. It’s great to be able to show the world how much your family has grown over the past year. One of my favorites is the Photo Family Wall in Red

And how obvious is it that I gravitate towards the black/white/red color combo?

Check out Lovely Leaves

and Royal Elegance.

But you don’t have to use a family photo ~ use a photo of something you’ve made and send it to your customers or potential customers!

And for religious cards, I'd have to go with Rejoice the Lord is King.

Anyway, Shutterfly is bound to have something just right for you, your business and/or your family. And the more you buy, the less it costs! And get this, they’ll even stamp and mail them for you if you’d like! How easy peasy is that? Now that I’m motivated, guess it’s time to slog through all those 2010 photos and pick out the lucky ones that’ll be showcased in our family Christmas card. Wish me luck…….
