Sit Still, Smile, Look at the Camera, Open your eyes.... Time for the Shutterfly Christmas Cards!

There are trees to be trimmed, stockings to be stuffed, presents to be wrapped, and lights to be strung.... but don't forget your Christmas cards!!!!!

Moms and Dads can relate to the fun, creativity, and exhaustion that goes into creating the "Family Christmas Card". How can we say "Merry Christmas, from the Watsons" this year? If you are my husband, you think you can do it by signing your name on a flimsy set of tiny notecards with snowmen on them... WRONG! There has to be smiles, there has to be love, there has to be unity, there has to be posing...

Once you get that perfect pic, it is time to choose the card. I love using Shutterfly for my Christmas cards. I have used them for baby announcements, photo collages, photo books, large prints, and, of course, holiday cards. They have a step by step process that makes creating beautiful cards easy and fun! I almost always pick a layout that has more than one photo on it, so I am not limited to one boring pose. Plus, using Shutterfly allows me to organize and store photos. The cards I have ordered have lasted through the years. They are affordable and deliver on time. I wouldn't use any other site for my photos and photo cards.

Shutterfly can also be used to create wonderful and unique gifts. The first Christmas my husband and I spent with our new daughter, Poppy, I made a wonderful book with pictures from the hospital. I have since made books for Father's Day and his birthday. He now has a little library of Poppy and him. These books are less bulky than photo albums and withstand the test of time. You can also add text and design each page!

Right now, Shutterfly is having a sale on cards and they almost always have a promotion for signing up with them... and it is free!!!

Moms cannot live with Shutterfly!
