Oh Choices, Choice, Choices....that time of year again!!

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.

Now that I have narrowed down my choices you may need to head over there yourself and pick some out for yourself.  Hurry they are giving 20% off all holiday cards right now! http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery
And while you're their you can pick out some Christmas address labels http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-address-labels as well.  There are some very cute ones to choose!
