It's time to think about Christmas!

It may seem a little early to some people to be talking about Christmas, but when you're a crafter making handmade gifts, getting started early is important to staying stress free, and getting everything completed on time. My Christmas cards are usually handmade too. I love the way handmade cards look and enjoy taking the time to create them, making each one special and unique.

This year, however, I have been wanting to include a family photo in the Christmas cards and I love the idea of selecting a card from the designs offered by Shutterfly, an online photo and gift printing website. There are so many colorful and fun designs to choose from in their Holiday card section. My only problem will be taking a photo that is cute enough for the cover of the card!

The flat stationary cards printed on cardstock appeal to me most because they look so sleek. The "All Wrapped Up," "Glitter Glamour Joy," and "Glow & Behold" cards really caught my eye.







I love being able to connect with my family and friends around the world at this time of year. Sending them a card with well wishes for the Holidays and New Year is something that I never miss out on. The best thing about creating the cards with Shutterfly this year is that I will have plenty of time for making handmade gifts!
