I love photography, I love scrapbooking, I love making gifts!! What I don't love is that I don't have the time to accomplish all of this!
Each year about this time, I start to think about my Christmas card lists. The list gets longer and longer each year, which is a good thing right? In the past, I have planned and spent hours making a unique design with papers and embellishments to accompany our family Christmas picture. With my life so crazy busy and my card list growing, I need to channel my creative juices toward the digital product! I'm excited to try something new this year!

I'm in between two designs... both have the cool monogram and I think I like the mix of color with B&W photos. I am leaning more towards the Blue and Brown pictured above!
I recently saw a fellow blogger post about the incredible offer from Shutterfly for bloggers to receive 50 free Christmas cards!!
This is going to make my life so much easier this season!
The last 5 or so years I have made Shutterfly Calendars for a select few!

They are so fun to make and even more enjoyable through out the year! It is a very user friendly website and lots of options to really personalize each page, or calendar depending on how in depth you want to make it!
I love how I can even add family and friends birthdays or other significant events right onto the printed calendar... AND Shutterfly saves this info for me for the next year when I want to make a calendar again!
I will also be looking into some other gift ideas like stationery...

My daughter loves writing letters and what a great way to encourage her with her own personal stationery!!
I love photography, I love scrapbooking, I love making gifts and I LOVE having it in all one location!

It's super easy, they sent me an email telling me what exactly I needed to do and I am awaiting my 50 free card coupon. A relative of mine did this and it works, I will let you know when I get my verification email. Shutterfly told me about 3-5 days!
Thank you for paying if forward. Your post is awesome, as well as your blog. Looking forward to getting my confirmation of 50 free cards!
ReplyDeleteWhew hew.
WOW! And thank you for giving me the privileged of being a blog you follow. That ticker looks so official.
Who's the best?
