Family Pictures & Tiny Prints & Holiday Card Sneak Peeks, Oh My!

Way back in July I convinced Scott that we needed family photos taken. My bargaining chip was that if photos were taken in July I promised nary a whisper of pictures come Fall. That was all Scott needed and he was sold.

Our photographer did an amazing job (as always). She and I had a conversation shortly after an epic meltdown by Julia: photos are so unusual, they're typically so stressful, yet we want the exact opposite portrayed in the final product. I'd like to think that mission was accomplished.

Fast forward to the past couple weeks, as I've been re-scrolling through all our photos in preparation for our annual holiday cards.  It may seem a little early, but in a blink it will be time to send out Christmas cards. While *the* Christmas card shot has already been selected I didn't want to skip over some of the gems that didn't quite make the cut.

This one *almost* made the cut as THE photo for the front of the card.

After choosing the Christmas worthy photos, the real fun began... Creating Christmas cards! And, unlike the photo taking process itself, selecting and creating our cards was the exact opposite of stressful.

For as long as we've been sending out holiday and announcement cards we've used TinyPrints, so it came as no surprise that I immediately fell in love with their Premium Holiday Options this year. 

I kept bouncing between the new Personalized Foil Cards,

Glitter Cards,

and the Laser Cut Cards.

However, there were endless options with the Foil Stamped cards and Ornament Cards that were equally enticing.

Ultimately, this glitter card won. Because, GLITTER!

Selecting just one photo to showcase on the front of the card wasn't too difficult. But, there were a few others I wanted to include as well. Luckily, the option to add photos on the backside of the card made things pretty easy for me.

Naturally, once a design - with glitter!! - was nailed down, accessorizing with matching envelopes, inserts, and return labels was a must.

Full Christmas card reveal coming in December!

And just like that, our Christmas cards were done!

The next big question... Is now too early to send them out?

TinyPrints has so much more to offer. There is literally something for everyone: kids color-in cards, year-in-review cards, holiday birth announcements, and my personal favorite Baby2Baby, an organization that provides low-income children necessities they deserve. For each birth announcement or holiday card that is purchased within the Baby2Baby collection a portion of the proceeds go to Baby2Baby.

Through the end of today TinyPrints is offering 25% your entire order, simply use the code 25NOV at checkout.

Tell me, are you team foil, glitter, or laser cut?
And I need to know, I'm not the only one who's jumped on the Christmas train and ordered holiday cards already. Right??
