Goodbye Halloween. Hello Christmas Cards.

I was amazed this morning to find that one of the radio stations here started the 24/7 Christmas music today. I thought it felt a tad early since we haven't even hit Thanksgiving yet, but it started me thinking about our Christmas cards.

I have been a fan of Shutterfly.com for a long, long time, and I figured I'd probably go with them for our cards because I was so pleased with our cards last year. Then I checked my email and saw that they were offering 50 free cards for bloggers who talk about their cards on their blog, and the decision was done. But now what to choose?

Here are some of the designs I absolutely love, but of course I won't reveal which we're choosing so it's a surprise when they land in everyone's mailbox. When going through the options, I knew I wanted one with multiple pictures because there's no way we'll be able to choose just one picture of our gorgeous girl.


Option 1: The inside of this is actually like a newsletter, which was super appealing to me.

















Option 2: I think this one is really classy and traditional, but we would probably use color photos not black and white.
















Option 3: Even though this only has one picture on the front, it has a newsletter style inside, which is really appealing to me.
















So there you go. Some of the ideas floating around in my head for our cards this year. If you're wanting to do photo cards this year, I highly suggest Shutterfly. The quality is fantastic and they always have specials that make them pretty affordable.

Here are links to some of the cards to make it easy:
