Well, its that time of year again! Time to select and design my annual family Christmas card. Each year I spend hours painstakingly deciding how my family card should look. As an avid family photographer, I take many pictures throughout the year. So, come November, I go through thousands of jpeg files narrowing down my choices. This year, luckily, we attended a family wedding, so there actually are pictures that I appear in! I have narrowed down my choices of photos to less than a dozen, and now......on to my next daunting task.
There are many sites out there selling photo holiday cards, but year after year, i do return to one site consistently. Shutterfly! I have tried other sites, but the quality isn't always as good, or i am disappointed somehow in my choice. To start, this year they seem to have MANY options. Their endless list of christmas cards are at
http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery One new category I have never seen before is their thanksgiving cards http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/thanksgiving-cards . These are wonderful as well, but i have a hard enough time choosing Christmas cards, i don't think I'll have enough time for those!
One of my favorites is the Holly Frame 5 x 7 folded card, but may be a little too expensive for my pocketbook, though it is such a classy background.
Another of my faves is the "Our Ornament Story" a 5 X 7 stationery card which combines your pictures and a minimized newsletter all in one.
My favorite basic card this year has to be simply called "Merry Christmas" Christmas 5 x 7 photo card.
