Christmas cards...

...From Shutterfly!

Today I am thankful for Christmas cards (and any cards really), and to finally be getting a start on figuring out what I'm going to do this year.  I'm really excited for these cards from Shutterfly, they have enough cute designs to make your head spin!  I didn't even realize how much they had until I started to go through them and pick a few of my favorites.  This year I really have my heart set on getting a folded card with a picture of the kids on the front.  I've actually wanted to do that for a few years, but never found cute designs like these.  To see all 800+ designs for Christmas cards and stationery, go visit their Christmas Cards section.

I really enjoy getting Christmas Cards, and I especially enjoy getting a picture.  It's always so fun to see how people have changed.  This year our picture is going to be of the 3 kids.  I wanted to give them the spotlight this Christmas since the spotlight will shift from them to the new baby in the new year.  So, yes, I will be sending out yet another batch of picture announcements when the baby comes, and so I have already started to look at what designs Shutterfly has.  I'm excited, I even included a few of my favorite announcements at the end.

This one is the retro wheel green, I liked the reds and greens in this one.

Most of the ones that I liked have a big area for just 1 picture, here is the Modern Joy card.

The little girl in this card is just adorable, but that's not the only reason I picked it.  This is the Holly Frame card.

See, this girl must be a winner!  Here is the Pine Cone Frame card.  I like frames.

This is a simple one, it's called Oh What Fun.  I think my kids would be cute on that one.

Here is one of the ones with more than one picture called Peppermint Christmas Story.  It has just enough spaces for my 3 cuties.  I like the peppermint theme.

This one is really neat with a Black and White, I wonder what it would look like with a color picture?  It's the Snowflake Sprinkles card.

I really thought about doing a 5X5 squarish photo card like this one, it's called Modern Damask Red.

And for the Birth Announcements, if I were doing a Christmas card and announcement this Santa Baby card would be cute.

Or this one called First Noel

But, since I want to give the baby his own spotlight after Christmas I will most likely go with something like this Modern Monogram Blue birth announcement.  Can't wait to picture the face that will be on the birth announcement, and I'm looking forward to getting them from shutterfly probably as well.

I am writing this post and promoting Shutterfly in hopes to receive 50 free Christmas cards.  With that said, I have ordered prints from Shutterfly and have always been pleased with their quality.  I am looking forward to seeing their cards with our pictures this year, and seeing how they come out.  What are you doing for Christmas cards this year?
