We heart Shutterfly!

As you have noticed, our children are shamelessly overdocumented and we love Shutterfly for printing pictures, making photo books of their first year, birth announcements, holiday cards and calendars! I have found Shutterfly to be very easy to use to print all of my digital scrapbook creations, including Lucy's birth announcement. I'm going to use them to print Lucy's newborn pictures and plan to turn our favorite into a canvas wall art creation.

This year's holiday card collection is beautiful and I don't know how I will choose! Shutterfly never disappoints, the colors are vibrant, the print quality is excellent and the shipping is fast. They also have SO many designs to choose from so you don't have to worry that you are sending the same card everyone else is. We use them every year.

If you are a digital scrapper, click here to see how you can print all your own layouts, turn them into cards, or do what I did and make books of your kids' lives! Theo's first year book turned out so awesome and we get many compliments on it!

I've made a calendar from Shutterfly every year and I do them as sort of a year in review, where I use pictures from that month of the previous year. It's really fun to turn the page on a new month and see what we were doing this time last year and how much Theo has grown! The quality is great and you can even save special dates like birthdays, etc. so you don't have to re-enter them every year - they print right on the calendar!

So, there you have it - lots of good ideas for getting your holiday cards made and gifts for family members on your list this year. And if you are a blogger, get in on this deal:
