Has anyone seen the new layouts for the new Shutterfly Custom Path photobooks?  It's like scrapbooking on your computer, I love it!  I have been making an "Eli's 1st Year" book for Eli's 1st Birthday and I am in love with all the features offered by these books.  Here are a few screen shots of what I have been working on. 

I am having so much fun going through all of Eli's pictures and remembering all those precious moments.  I can't wait till it is all done and in my hands to look at over and over.

P.S.  I am not writing about Shutterfly because of any promotion, I just love their photobook program and all its features.

Jeremiah, Maddy and I joined some friends last week in Balboa Park for a Christmas card picture exchange.  We took pictures of them and their puppy, Diego, and then they took pictures of us.  It was so much fun to be all bundled up in Balboa Park with the crisp morning air, it actually felt like winter.  We just received the pictures so now its time to play around on Shutterfly, my favorite online printer, and pick the perfect card. 

I have been using Shutterfly for years, since I was in college I think, and they really are the best company out there.  I have made calenders for friends and family, made prints from my digital photos and last year I made my Exquisite Blooms holiday photo cards to send to all my brides.  My all time favorite project had to be, by far, the photo books I made for my parents from my sister, brother and I for Mothers Day and Fathers Day about 3 years ago.  They were so easy to make and the result was a treasure for my parents to keep forever.

So now I have the dilemma of which style to make for Jeremiah, Maddie and I's Christmas cards.  Here is the picture I think I have committed to are the 3 photos I am trying to narrow down...

And here are the 2 designs of cards that I am toying with...

 (Shutterfly.com design, Jolly Gems)

(Shutterfly.com design, Flourish)

The 1st one seems more me, I mean us, but the 2nd one is so simple and pretty.  There are just so many wonderful designs to choose from.  Guess you'll just have to wait and see what the mail brings to find out which one I picked.
