Christmas Cards!


Now that the Hubs and I are married, I've been thinking that it's about time that we send out some kind of Christmas card to all our loved ones. While I love stationary of all kinds, I especially love receiving photo Christmas cards from people.

I've been doing a lot lately with our professional wedding photos (hanging them up in frames, making Christmas gifts, etc..) and figured I might as well use one or two of them in a Christmas card. After all, when else will we have professional photos of us for our disposal?

I decided to check out Shutterfly to see what card designs they had to offer.

Here are some of my favorites:  
Red Revamped. I just love the fonts on this one!
Cranberry Joy. This simplicity with the bit of Christmasy red is beautiful!

All Wrapped Up


No Mistletoe Necessary. I would use the picture of Hubs and I kissing at the wedding in this one!



There are over 800 Christmas card designs to choose from on the Shutterfly website so I had a hard time choosing (and still am!) but I was able to narrow it down by the message on the card and limiting it to one picture. There are designs where you can use more than one photo but since our little family is just Hubs and me at this point, it just seemed a little egotistical to fill a card with a lot of photos of ourselves. 

How cute would these cards be for a family with kids?
Count your Blessings

Top Ten Moments. I love that this one is a photo card and Christmas Letter all in one!

Whichever one I choose though I know it will come out amazing. I've used Shutterfly before to design a photo book of our pictures from our trip to Japan. I've also used them to order prints of photos and thank you cards before as well and am always happy with the quality. 

These calendars would make a great gift for a parent or grandparent to document what went on during the past year. I love that you can personalize it too! Imagine seeing my pretty face on the March 19th block!?

So which design should I choose?!
