merry smiles!

I know, it's not even Halloween yet, but I'm already thinking ahead to our holiday cards.  I actually was plotting different ways to convince Adam that we need a 'family photo' with the dog since it's the first holiday that we're officially married for!  That deserves a card, right?

I've been scouting out some possibilities on Shutterfly for our holiday photo cards.  Personally, I love modern, clean designs.  And since we send them to all our friends, religious-neutral colors and wording are key.  My front runner right now is definitely this, I love the sage color and the snowflakes!  Adam would probably say that it's too girly. 

 
I'm more concerned with getting a photo with all three of us (Adam, doggie and me) looking at the camera.  Ricki is really the culprit in this, he gets too distracted by squirrels, carrots, etc to pay attention to the camera long enough for us to capture his best angle.  I suppose we could always go the three separate photos route.  I love this blue and red card...but I think we need a few more pets so we can fill the space.  And would need to change the greeting.

 
I'm also the kind of person who takes other people's Christmas photo cards and cuts out the photo to keep on my fridge all year.  It would be a bit difficult to navigate the scissors around all the boxes in the card above, but something simple like this card would make photo-saving a snap!

I saw your post yesterday, which caused me to think even more about our cards. :) I need to decide whether I'll go through Shutterfly, TinyPrints or even Snapfish. So many choices!!

Yes, being newly married means a family Christmas card! I am trying to avoid doing one since our invites will be going out at about the same time as Christmas cards. We'll see how Matt reacts to that. He's the car-sender in this relationship!
