free holiday cards

I thought I would participate in a Shutterfly promotion that asks bloggers to write about their Holiday Card Giveaway. I don't usually write about products on here, but I'm not turning down 50 free Christmas cards! If you are interested, here are some ideas that I was asked to write about.
First, I was asked to write about my favorite Shutterfly card design. I’ve used Shutterfly for Christmas cards before, and I like their selection of cards to use for the Christmas season. My favorite card from a past experience is Holiday Berries http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-holiday-cards/holiday-berries-christmas-5x7-folded-card?fg=256&sortType=1&fa=2&storeNode=93476&fe=1&fb=1. This is the card I used for the holiday season of 2008, and I picked this design to double as a Christmas card and Liam’s birth announcement, since he was born only a month before Christmas. I loved the deep red and brown contemporary look. The card was a part of their premium selections and was printed on cardstock, making it just a little fancier than other photo cards. This year, I want to use a family picture from our trip to the beach, and I like the simplicity of Bells Jingle http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards/bells-jingle-christmas-4x8-photo-card-4x8-photo?sortType=1&fa=2&storeNode=93476&fe=4&fb=2, or Charming Holly Wreath http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/cards-stationery/charming-holly-wreath-christmas-4x8-photo-card-4x8-photo?sortType=1&fa=2&storeNode=93476&fe=4&fb=2. Since we have friends and family that live far from us, I love to receive photo cards to hold on to, especially to be able to remind Liam of all of his aunts, uncles, and cousins.
