Another way to show your style...Christmas cards!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas (and feel like it too...brrr!). The hustle and bustle has started, the decorations are going up and the mall is a zoo. While we are getting close to having all of our shopping done, what we haven't done yet is mail out our Christmas cards. I love Christmas cards and believe they are definitely a reflection of your personal style. They can be traditional or chic and modern and with so many choices, you're bound to find one that fits you and your family. I've always loved photo cards and used to get so excited as a child when one would come. My family never did them, so they always seemed exotic to me. As soon as my husband and I had been dating for a while, we began doing photo Christmas cards and haven't stopped. They are a great way for our distant relatives who rarely see us to follow us as we change through the years. This year I think Shutterfly has some of the best cards I've seen. I've used Shutterfly for prints and online photo storage and sharing but I've never ordered cards from them. However, with the great service I've received in the past and with all the lovely designs they have to offer, I'm excited to see how they turn out this year. Here are a few of the great Christmas cards they have to offer. I love so many of them I haven't been able to narrow it down yet. I really like the "Elegant Modern Collage" and the "Family Wall" in both red and noir. If you are more into Holiday cards versus Christmas specific cards, you're bound to find one you love here. Did you know that Shutterfly also does great baby shower invitations and even photo canvases? Those baby shower invitations are so gorgeous and I'll definitely be checking them out the next time I need to host a baby shower. The photo canvases would make a great gift and are such a chic way to share your favorite photo in your home. I'm so excited to put together our cards this week and get them in the mail. Have you mailed your cards yet? What kind of cards will you do this year?

I wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Update: I received my cards VERY promptly and I LOVE them! They really turned out great and I was impressed with the quality of the cardstock, how nicely they were printed and how quickly they arrived. I would definitely use them again. I received 50 of my cards for free for completing this blog post as part of Shutterfly's blogger promotion but also spent my own money to order additional cards.
