Christmas Cards Made Easy

Way back when, BrownThumbPapa and I used to design our own Christmas cards. We would spend hours selecting photos from throughout the year, designing the layout, writing a clever message, and then would spend a king’s ransom to have them printed and mailed. Since we’ve had kids, that tradition has fallen by the wayside (surprise, surprise).

Shutterfly to the rescue! It’s so easy to put a family photo into one of their 929 Christmas card templates and let them do all the hard work! Take a look at all of these cool styles.

I was able to refine my choices down to 236 by selecting a style (Whimsy), number of photos (one), and format (flat).

Once I had it narrowed down to a couple favorites, I was able to easily upload photos and see exactly how they would look.

Family: BIG-TIME SPOILER ALERT! Stop reading now if you want to be surprised by our Christmas card. Everybody else can scroll down and take a peek.

Ok, now that it’s just us…what do you think?

Yep, they all look great. Good thing we have a while to decide which one we’re going to use! Plus, Shutterfly has return address labels and thank you cards so we can complete the Christmas season in style.

Christmas cards done in 30 minutes? Now that makes Mama merry, indeed.

Disclosure: I was provided 25 free holiday cards from Shutterfly.
