In the past, I have made my Holiday cards by hand. I love to do it, but it can be a pin in the fa-tooch. You know what I mean? That's why I was really happy to try out Shutterfly for my Christmas cards last year. I got to customize my card with my own photo and choose from a myriad of different (and can I just say *adorable*) templates. Like this one:
Love this Christmas Card. It's kind of got a South American feel to it. That might just be me.
And, by the by, that is definitely NOT my family in the photo. :-) We clean up nice, but not that *perfect*. And, I'm proud of it......or the name of my blog isn't Marvelously Messy.
They've got other great themes too for a variety of cards. Aren't these baby announcements the sweetest??
Another fun option you can do for the holidays is make a photo book. I've done this before with great success: I made a book of our yearly trip to Myrtle Beach for the Munchkins grandparents. I was really pleased with the way it turned out!!
So what are you going to do for your Christmas Cards this year??
You can find Shutterfly in these places:

I usually go to Costco and order our holiday cards at the print shop. But then I notice when someone has a costco type Christmas card. I would love to try a new print place

I have a long list of people that I send Christmas cards to. I spend a lot of time looking for just the right card design to send. I really like Shutterfly's selection. Also, I send a yearly update with my cards so everyone knows what our family has been up to since last Christmas.

I usually buy mine on-line from whatever website offers the best deal. I do like Shutterfly's quality the best though.

I usually don't get around to cards until New Years so they end up being thank you cards. But I'd love to have photos of my whole family for cards this year.
