Shutterfly - All the Wonderful Things They Have!!!

I am so excited about Shutterfly's 2010 holiday cards... There are so many options and so many cards to choose from it is very hard for me to narrow down which ones I like best.. A couple of my favorites this year are Snow Flurries Cocoa, Snow Flake Ribbon, Wonder Trees Noir, and Shimmering Ornaments! Since Brian and I don't have any children yet and we aren't obsessed with taking pictures of ourselves I choose cards with only one picture. I wish we had a ton of good pictures together so I could do a card with multiple photos but maybe I can do that next year. I am planning on sending these cards to all my family and friends so that they know we are thinking about them this Christmas season. Also, I want to send these to them so that they can ask me where I got my cards and I can tell them from this really great website named Shutterfly!!! I will probably designs two different cards this year... The wonder tree noir and the shimmering ornaments... We love bright colors and and we do a lot of black and white pictures so I think these will work best for us! I have used Shutterfly for multiple things for our family. I have made a couple of calenders for family members who live far away... That was great because they had pictures of each person who had a birthday in that month and I also put pictures from each family get together so they could see all the family together.. There were so many options on the calenders so it was so much fun to decorate and design... I also have gotten multiple photo books from Shutterfly... I made one for Brian and I with all of our wedding pictures which ended up being beautiful! There again were so many options and pretty things I was able to use in that book... I made another book from a cruise that we went on with some of our best friends... The beach and vacation themes were so cute and they fit so perfect for what I wanted to do... The address labels are also a great thing... There are hundreds of different styles for address labels!! You can pick the font, colors, and pictures for all your different projects!!!  We use Shutterfly for so many things and I can wait until we can use it for so many other things as well! Soon enough we will be making  announcement cards for pregnancies, births, Christmas cards, and birthday invitations! I will also continues to make books for vacations and birthdays and probably Christmas presents for parents and grandparents.

My Blog

I am so excited about this new blog.... It is a great way for Brian and I to share what's going on in our lives!!!! We just bought our first house in October and we are going to have a house warming party tomorrow... We were able to decorate for Christmas together and we are just so happy... Brian has made so many new things for our first home... He and my papa built a swing outside for us to sit on when the weather is nice... He also built a beautiful ottoman for the living room!!! He is becoming my ever so crafty husband!!! That's all for right now... I am so glad that we are now able to share all our fun news with all of our great friends and family!!!
