Shutterfly Holiday Cards - Where to Start?? (and a Giveaway!!)

Oh my goodness, I am in so much trouble this year...  Last year I blogged about Shutterfly's holiday card selection in exchange for 50 free cards, and have been extended the same offer again this year.  But this time, it's even better, because I've got a giveaway for you, the reader, too!  Stay with me here...

So back to the trouble I'm in...

I had the. absolute. hardest. time. ever. finding just. the. right. card last year to use as our holiday mail-out.  There were just way, way too many amazing options!  And it looks, if I'm not mistaken, that Shutterfly has added even more options this year!  Where do I start?  I thought the one I chose last year was the most perfect card (certainly the sweet little face featured on the card had something to do with it...), but of course, I can't use the same one twice.  That would be like, well, sending the same holiday card two years in a row!  Or something.

Here's the card I made last year.

This year I'm finding myself partial to the cards below, but ultimately, I think it'll come down to what photos I end up wanting to use.

It's no secret I'm a Shutterfly fan.  I love their gift selections and have two of the photo mugs (which somehow still have retained their original color and luster despite countless trips through the dishwasher), along with several photo books I have created.  Last year they introduced their new custom path, a way of customizing your photo books in even more creative ways.  I love this!  Can't show you my latest custom path creation, though, because someonewhomightbereadingthis might be getting one for Christmas this year...

So now here's the fun part (apart from the Sammi photo-shoot I'm planning for this year's greetings)!  I am giving away, with Shutterfly's blessing, three codes for 25 free holiday photo cards!  Yep, that's 3 winners!  These things ain't cheap, either, so this is a great opportunity (although only one code can be won per person - no doubling up!!) for all of you!  (Btw, I think this also applies to those of you in other countries - you would still pay for the shipping anyway.)

I'm going to give you each four chances to win those 25 cards.  Please submit one comment for each entry using the criteria below, and next Tuesday I will randomly select the three winners. 

1.  Show me a link to your favorite Shutterfly holiday card


2.  Make a donation in any amount to the adoption fund of one of the waiting children on Reece's Rainbow's Angel Tree (a $35 donation will get you an ornament of one of those waiting children, though!)
