Shutterly.com is the way to go!

Hello Bloggers! It's Christmas time - that means it is Christmas Card time. Are you making cards this year? If so, who do you use? Do you buy cards, make cards, or design them online? We've always made ours online. My husband and I have chosen Shutterfly.com to create our Christmas cards again this year, because we feel they have more cards in the style that best fit our personalities. We have chosen Shutterfly in the past because they always seem to have good deals, and saving money make me, my husband, and our bank account all very happy. In the past we've also used Shutterfly.com to make photo books. They make great gifts, but I never made photo books for gifts, I've always kept them for myself. Calendars also make great gifts. My SIL has made one for my MIL the past several years.
Every year, I try to write an annual letter to our families and friends, but instead of sending them out at Christmas time, I try to send them in July, around our anniversary. Much like yours, I'm sure, our lives get busy, and I don't have much time or motivation to write that letter. This year, we have decided to send the letter with our Christmas card, and guess what, Shutterfly has a card just PERFECT for this! I have looked at other sites, but none of their cards jumped out at me like the selection on Shutterfly.com. Take a look at the card I made by clicking here.
You don't have to just make Christmas cards. I always enjoy getting cards celebrating birthdays. We don't do this yet, but once we have kids, I'll be sure to make some birthday cards.
I hope you enjoy the card I made this year on Shutterfly, and I hope you get creative and make some of your own. You won't regret spending time on these projects, because they will be around for your children, and grandchildren to see. (My Grandma has saved some of the photocards they had made from the 70's, when my Dad was a hippie. LOL) The photobooks we have will last for years, and I bet they'll even outlast the scrapbooks I've made. Jeff and I wish you a very Merry Christmas, and we look forward to seeing your Christmas card!
p.s. After reading this blog to get Jeff's approval, he said, "That's a great Blog! It sounds like a commercial." I had to share that with you. It made me chuckle.
