Our Christmas Cards

*This post is in collaboration with Minted.  As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Every year I have a ton of fun trying to choose a Christmas Card for the year.  It is always a lot more fun when I have planned ahead and have some photos to pick from.  This year we were pretty lucky because we had professional photos taken after baby Molly was born (by Annabelle Rose Photography),  so I had a pretty nice selection ready to go.  Then I also had some photos taken for the blog of the kids in the cutest Christmas clothes, so I had quite a few to choose between.

For the past 5 + years, I have been using Minted to do our Christmas cards.  They make it so easy for me, it’s nearly impossible for me to switch now.  I have seen lots of great holidays cards from several different places; but the fact that all of my 100+ addresses are already stored in my Minted address book and that they print all the envelopes for free, I just can’t pass it up.

So my favorite thing to do is upload a couple of photos that I think might work well for our card onto the website and then I can actually see the photo in tons of different cards. I use the filter to decide if it is better as landscape or portrait and if I want one photo or multiple.   It makes it easier to browse through lots of pretty cards!

I thought it would be fun this year to show you guys five or six of my favorite cards this year with some of the photos that were in the running for our holiday card this year!! One of these cards is the EXACT card that I am sending out for our holiday card this year!!  I promise to share the final product with you 🙂

Let’s have some fun and I want you guys to try and guess which card/photo is the WINNER that I chose this year!!!  Let’s just say that it was REALLY hard to choose.
