Bloggers get 50 free holiday cards from Shutterfly!

Check it out here.

I was absolutely thrilled to hear about Shutterfly's newest promotion, allowing bloggers to blog about their cards for 50 free cards! That happens to be right around the number that we need this year, and I've been carefully browsing and pricing cards for the past week or two. I want to do a photo card; last year, we did a professional photo shoot...but I'm not sure if we can swing it this year. There for awhile, it looked like I was going to be relegated to Wal-mart's card (nothing wrong with them at all...but I wasn't really in love with any of their designs).

Shutterfly, on the other hand, has some simply darling designs, and I don't know what to pick! I've narrowed down my top favorites, and I'll let J help me figure it out. A lot of it depends on what photo we end up using. Currently, my favorite photo from this year is a beach photo, and that seems so wrong for a Christmas picture. We'll see.

And, while this blog post does make me eligible for the 50 free cards, I'm serious when I say I love their designs. They have a huge variety of Christmas cards, and they also have general holiday and New Year's cards for those who don't celebrate Christmas. You can choose photo cards or regular cards...you can use one photo or several...you can have flat cards or traditional cards...etc. What's great is that you can customize right from home before sending it off, so you can play with multiple designs. You can also request a sample card to see what it looks like in person before you order.

If we DO end up going with the beach photo, I'm pretty sure we'll use this one if J likes it:

I also like this one if we go with three favorites from last year. If we put the dogs on it, we'll do this one.

Then, there's this one that is just fun!
This one is a very close runner-up to the first one if we do use the beach picture:

I love how the words pop out from the black and white. Actually, this one just might be my favorite.

(Why, yes. I do have a hard time deciding what to wear every day. Why do you ask?)

How to choose? Hopefully, J will be the deciding factor. Maybe. Or maybe I'll draw a name out of a hat. And I will.not be tempted by the New Year cards, which are equally darling....
