Shutterfly Review and Giveaway, 2 Winners

This giveaway is now closed, thank you to everyone who entered and congratulations to our two lucky winners! Annette W, comment #2 and said: I follow you, too, through GFC and Sharon, comment #17 and said: Me! Me! Me! I SOOOOO need this right now! My favorite card is a simple one - classic with a blurred edge. I like for my pictures to tell the story - no need for any fancy borders!

Recently, I shared some of my favorite ways to use our photos on Shutterfly. Today I'm excited to announce I have a photo card giveaway from them, with TWO winners! The details are at the bottom, but first I'd like to show you some of the cards we've gotten from them.
Last year we took advantage of Michigan's fall foliage and did a little photo shoot at our local park. We sent these holiday cards, which fit the autumn colors of our photo perfectly.
On the inside, I picked a four picture design to show off more family pictures from the past year. I love that option! You can choose to have 0-6 photos, all pictures or a combination of pictures and text, on the left hand side. You can also use it for just text and then you might not even to add a family newsletter to your holiday cards. As you can see there is also plenty of room to add a message on the right hand side too.

Do you see the little green graphic on the right hand side? I also like how they recently added little details like that to the inside of many of their designs. Just another way to make it a really special card.After the holidays, you can also use Shutterfly for customized thank you cards. ER's Great Aunt Cheri sent her really nice handmade dress up costumes last Christmas. This thank you card design let me incorporate photos of ER in each outfit.
Since Aunt Cheri and Uncle Bill are out of state, it's a great way to say thank you for this very special gift and show them how cute ER looks in the costume. When I send thank you cards from Shutterfly, I always choose to have them address, stamp, and send the cards for me. For a little up charge it makes my life so much easier! Now that you've seen how cool the card designs are, I know two of you are going to be very happy!
