My favorite time of the year is here.
Between now and then end of the year we'll be dressing James as a superhero, letting him taste his first real turkey, and then watching him tear open packages.
This won't be his first round of holidays, but they will be the first where he will have some awareness of what is happening.
Do you know what my favoritest part of all this is?
HOLIDAY CARDS!
I know I've written before about my love of the cards over at Shutterfly, and this has not changed. I've already scheduled our photo shoot at the mall in November, and I will be taking that and some other favorites I've captured throughout the year to make it ours.
This year, there are so many card options, and I went and played with them to get an idea of what will work best for us.
What do you think? A card with nothing but that face makes me squeal. Change one of those to a family shot of us, and I'd be happy. Not only that, but you can personalize them so that they are signed and you don't have to go through them to do that. And when you have over 50 to mail, that makes a whole world of difference to me.
I love the thought of one large picture and a simple greeting inside. Maybe in black and white. That would look amazing, with the colors in each corner and across the bottom.
Another favorite. I'd want to do the picture in black and white or maybe sepia so that the words stand out a little more. Wouldn't you love that face smiling at you??
This one I love for the simpleness. Nothing but that perfect picture and a border that, to me, looks very much like Christmas. What is it about red and green that makes you immediately go to that time of the year??
Seriously, there are so many different designs. From simple and classic, to even some religious themed options, Shutterfly is making it easy to pick a design that will fit your family. They also have some special offers here for you.
Now, if you've made it this far, I'm doing my first giveaway ever.
Leave me a comment telling me which card you like from Shutterfly's collection. Feel free to provide a link, though it's not required, and your email address. The contest will run until October 28th, and I will draw 1 random person on the 29th who will receive $50 off their total order (does not include shipping & cannot be combined with any other promos) from Shutterfly.
For an extra entry, Tweet about this giveaway with a link back to this entry and leave an additional comment with that link.
That's all!
So, please share which card would be yours and maybe you'll win and be able to make them this year!
