I can't believe that Christmas is right around the corner! I absolutely love this time of year and one of my favorite things about it is going out to get my mail every day in December to find a Christmas card from family and friends. I always display them in our home and I hate taking them down once the holidays are over because they are so fun to look at. We have sent out a Christmas card every year that we've been married and they have ended up being some of my favorite family photos [especially with kids because they make everything cuter] and I love looking back on them. Since we live away from all of our family and most of our relatives, it's a great way for us to stay connected with everyone by sending cards to each other and seeing how each family has grown and where they are. I can't believe how much our family has changed this past year with the arrival of our little Liam. We went from a small trio in our card last year, to a full family of four this year. We are so excited to celebrate our first Christmas with our little guy and all of the holiday traditions that come with it. Getting family pictures together and sending out holiday cards are part of those traditions. I always try to find a card design that goes along with our pictures and sometimes it's hard to find something that I like. That's why I was so happy to find the cute designs at Shutterfly this year. I am really so impressed with what they have to offer. I am a sucker for anything gold-foiled so I was immediately drawn to those when selecting a card out for us and I love that you can customize everything from the back of your card to the envelope color, as well as choose an insert with a pretty design. These plaid inserts are my favorite thing! I couldn't have matched them better than if I had designed them myself. And the best part is, the whole process is so quick and easy. I uploaded our photo and designed our cards one night then had everything on my doorstep in a couple of days. How easy is that? It's so nice to check this off my holiday list! And I want you guys to try them out too, because I think you will find something you love in these new styles so they are offering a free card for you to try it out with code CARD4U at checkout. Also for the next two days you can get up to 50% off your order with their friends and family sale and free shipping. So jump on that and find a holiday card that you will love to celebrate a great year. Cheers to the holiday season!
