Shutterfly: The Place to Create Your Photo Cards

Since Halloween is one of my favorite holidays (hello! chocolate!) I decided to take a picture of my sweet boys in their Star Wars costumes and then create a photo card to send to the family. Dawson dressed up as a Shadow Trooper this year and little Owen donned the cutest Yoda costume ever. His chubby cheeks definitely made the costume work.

Here's my creation, made at Shutterfly:

The thing I love most about photography is setting the scene of my photos. I love finding the perfect backgrounds and capturing a smile or twenty from the the boys. What I love most about Shutterfly is the great number of creative options for my photo cards.

Shutterfly offers great value when it comes to cards and stationary, but you can create photo books as well as order prints, calendars and photo gifts, too. The possibilities are endless.

Last year I designed our Christmas photo card using Shutterfly. I wanted to get that perfect picture of then 5-year-old Dawson and 2-month-old Owen and make the sweetest holiday card. Fifty less-than-stellar photos later, I decided to throw in the towel. Both kids were crying and I snapped a picture. Then creative genius hit. I decided to use the crying shot and this is what I came up with:



How can you not love that? I can't wait to make our 2010 Christmas card.


Here's something else to love!
