This post is brought to you by Shutterfly. Regardless, all opinions are the honest experiences of our family.
We haven’t had family pictures taken for several years. Now that our kids are all adults, getting them all to the same place at the same time, is harder than you think. I have been spending way too much time on Pinterest looking at colors, scenes and fun ideas for family pictures. I think I finally have a plan in mind, so the appointment is scheduled. Since, we will have some fun pictures taken, I plan to use them for our Christmas holiday cards this year. Shutterfly has a large selection of card designs to choose from. Guess what? Now I am spending way too much time on the Shutterfly site, designing my Christmas cards and even ordering some photo gifts, too.
Shutterfly has introduced so many new card design styles for 2013, not only do you have choices of 5×7 folded tri fold & back of card designs there are so many spectacular choices, I can’t decide! Should I go Classic with traditional colors, iconic illustrations, aspirational sentiments, snowflakes, monograms or Contemporary with trend forward colors, texture and layering, water color techniques, shine and glitter. I normally choose Religious with metallic type treatments and incorporated story ideas, but I am thinking something new and unique. Since, our pictures will be mainly outdoor I am leaning toward Merry and Bright style that is all about color and having fun.
Here are my top 5 choices. I am starting to narrow them down, but it’s harder to choose than I thought it would be. Now it’s your turn! We have a quick 2 day giveaway for a chance to win a $50 gift code from Shutterfly that includes free shipping. Good luck and have fun! Tell your friends.
