With 2010 coming to an end in about two months, and 2011 coming to a near,  people including myself often send holiday, including Christmas, Hanukkah, and Eid cards to family, friends, colleagues and neighbors.  Shutterfly has some of the most beautiful designs of cards available to choose, including Christmas cards, holiday photo cards, tarjetas de feliz navidad, and even religious Christmas cards. 



Photo Christmas cards are a great way to let others know that you are thinking about them during the holiday seasons.

One of my favorite designs at Shutterfly is Year in Review.  A bright greeting appears on a scarlet-red square.This folded card allows you to use eight different photos of any of your choosing that has taken place during 2010.  What I would do is choose eight different photos of my family doing important activities during the year.  When you open the card, you can also write your greeting, as well as the names of those in the photos.  I am planning to send these cards out to family and friends as a way of keeping up to date on us through photos.



Even if you don't want to order cards, Shutterfly offers Christmas party invitations and  Christmas gift tags .  You have the option of choosing folded greeting cards, flat stationary cards, and flat photo cards.  Click here to see a variety of holiday cards.

fidipidi, a new Facebook App that allows you to create and send physical greeting cards from your computer, is providing a special offer to make it easy to show your support for the troops. Now through June 9 when you purchase one of fidipidi’s dozen new patriotic cards, you will receive another card free. Since fidipidi is fully integrated with Facebook, you can also take advantage of those features, such as pulling in friends’ photos, to make your card even more personal.

I encourage you to:

• Check out the service at www.facebook.com/fidipidi
• Purchase your patriotic card and get another one for free with the offer code “MILITARY” (If you order two Patriotic cards on a single order, you will receive two free cards.)
