It's almost that time. You know. Christmas. Don't dread it, friends...embrace it this year :) The Eldridges love to send Christmas cards. I especially love sending a card that reflects on the JOY of the birth of our Savior. I used to hand stamp each little card, folks. Are you kiddin' me? Before I had kiddos, it was so fun to sit and design a Christmas card by hand. Now-a-days, the 'creative juices of ariel' sometimes have to be 'hired out'. That's why I love me some Shutterfly.com.
We've been collecting 8x8" photo books since the birth of our first son, when I realized scrapbooking would not happen for awhile. I love how many designs there are to personalize our collections of photos. Shutterfly has taken it a step further and recently made their photo books so customizable, you can rearrange the text, layout, and embellishments of each page. LOVE that. Here's our latest book.
The Eldridges also love a good photo calendar. Where would I be without my Shutterfly photo calendar? Forgettin' birthdays, that's where. I know this because we decided not to get one last year, and I was a mess. Nieces and nephews were getting birthday gifts months late. Disastrous ;) I love what a great gift the calendar is in itself. We NEVER know what to give Papaw for Christmas...and I think we drew tears the year he opened his photo calendar. Perhaps we'll pick something from here for this year's gift?
Our kiddos get so excited when the Christmas cards start popping up in the mailbox. They love seeing the faces of the friends and family they recognize. What an awesome way to stay connected and teach your little folks the names and faces of those who love them. So, Shutterfly is making the Eldridge Christmas card again this year. I'm still deciding between these two designs...

Does #1 ever get picked? I guess we're about to find out my dear, I want those cards!
Oh my goodness, I love both of your options! So cute. You are so on the ball! Hoping my Christmas cards make it out before Christmas this year! :)
Don't you just love Shutterfly!?! I made Avery's birth announcements from there and can't wait to make our christmas cards this year!
josh and i haven't done christmas cards before, but now that we're married i feel that we should do it.
i vote for the first card. the boys look so cute in those pictures and i love the text in the middle.
I like the second one best. It shows you all four in one picture as a family. Although they are both lovely!
I would just LOVE to win, Miss Ariel :) Keeping my fingers and toes crossed :) Thanks for this giveaway!!
i can't believe how big the boys are! love to y'all - miss you friend :)
I love shutterfy! I have used them for albums, cards, birth announcements, and coasters. :)
I love Shutterfly! Both of your cards look really nice. The first one has such cute photos of your boys and the wording really pops, but there's something soothing about the brown in the second card. That would be a tough decision!
