The most wonderful time of the year is coming!

Christmas card time!  I love it - it's one of my favorite things about the holidays.  I love going to the mailbox and seeing the colored envelopes - something besides bills!  I especially love the photo cards.  I actually keep them all and put them in a book each year.

Shutterfly's card collection this year is amazing.  They are so bright and colorful.  And I am really excited about their new "story" cards - what a brilliant idea!  Check them out here.  They allow you to chronicle the most important events of your year on the card.  I like it because I miss the traditional old Christmas letters people used to send.  What a fun new way to let people know what you've been up to!

My favorite Christmas card we made on Shutterfly.  On the cover was a pictrues of my husband and I during our trip to Glacier National Park.  Inside we wrote:  Admission to Glacier Park $20,  Bear Spray $12, Ferry to Trailhead $7, Knowing there are actually 3 people in the picture:  priceless!  On the back we put an ultrasound picture with the announcement:  Baby Jahnke Due 05/09!  It was such a fun way to announce our pregnancy and everybody loved it!

If you visit their site, make sure to check out their awesome photo books as well.  I have made one of these for each one of our vacations - the quality is outstanding.  The smaller books also make a great grandparents gift.

I can't wait to start working on this year's card.  I think I'm definately going to do one of the story cards.  I really like this one.  Thank you Shutterfly for once again coming out with new & unique designs!
