I Heart Shutterfly!

Have you figured out your holiday cards yet? I know it's early, and believe me, I am usually still addressing cards at and/or after Christmas, but this year, I decided to start a little early. My coworker, Jodee, is super organized and told me how she planned her photos a couple weeks ago. She probably already has her cards addressed and is just waiting for the holiday stamps – yep – she is like that – ready way ahead of time!  I wish I could be more like her!





One of our family shots from last year!  Am still thinking of recycling it for this year!



 So, I decided to follow her lead and try to get some photos of Maddy too. Last year, we had a family Christmas card with Mr. Tennis and me too - I loved it and it was from Shutterfly.  Some friends told me that my card last year was the best quality and nicest they received, now who doesn't like to hear that! But managing to get my hair looking decent two years in a row in a photo is really asking a bit much, so this year I figured a card with just Miss M would be fine . . . unless I recycle a photo from last year!  Hmmm -- I do like deducting a year from my age whenever I can!

What a great family photo-card!

Somehow, I was able to get some photos I liked and went to Shuttterfly to look at their cards. Oh how I love Shutterfly! The holiday cards this year are gorgeous and always such great quality.  One of the many things I like about Shutterfly is that I can make as many draft cards as I want while attempting to get the perfect one.  This year, I made about four different drafts -- some with just one photo and others with two photos and you can add even more photos! I go for more traditional looks and Shutterfly  has those along with lots of fun funky styles too. I swear I could have spent an entire day playing on the site and making draft cards up.  This year I made 4 or 5 and then showed them to Mr. Tennis for his input.  Luckily (for him!) he liked the very same one that was my favorite.  But really, who says you can't go with more than one holiday card?  I went with traditional colors + fun polka-dots because Maddy and I DO love polka dots!



Another fave -- love the black and white photo and monogram ornament!



Since I'm not a scrapbooker, am horrible at keeping track of photos and lousy at journaling, I usually do a photo book after a trip and Shutterfly has come to the rescue for me there too!



This sample reminded me of the book we made after our trip to China to meet sweet Maddy as Maddy looked a lot like that adorable little one as a baby!

 Bonus -- last year, I even had one of those very cool canvas prints made – be still my heart – it turned out so beautiful! Do I sound like a commercial for Shutterfly? Really, they have the best products and service!

Anyhooo, Shutterfly has some really beautiful cards this year and your satisfaction is guaranteed! And you know what else I love . . . you can also order matchy-matchy return address labels!!! :) 



Can you tell that I love a monogram and red/greencombos?
