Oh Christmas Card, Oh Christmas Card…
It’s that time again – the time to make your Christmas card and receive many in the mail! So much fun! But, I have found that a lot of people are unaware of how many options you really have for personalized photo Christmas cards. The most common place that I know of is Costco- Easy and Affordable. And, don’t get me wrong- I LOVE COSTCO! Unfortunately, many other people do, too, which means that you run the risk of using the same template that 50 of your closest friends may choose! Today, I am going to give you a list of some other options to try this year if you feel like branching out!

This is our Christmas Card from last year! This photo shows the ease of customizability when creating your Christmas Card through Shutterfly!
