Mama Manifesto: 'Tis the Season to Take Photos: And Enter Mid-Week Giveaways!!!

Nope. It's not Friday. But we have an AWESOME giveaway for a lucky mama! Shutterfly is going to give away 50 holiday cards to one of our readers. That's right! You could win some of the adorable photo greeting cards on Shutterfly to send to your own family and friends for the holidays.

Shutterfly is one of my favorite holiday resources. We make our Christmas cards with them every year. It's a great way to send a photo to friends and family without breaking the bank. Their 4x8 photocards are under 50 cent a piece, and the designs are so cute! I am also a big fan of the photo books. I make "brag books" for the grandparents every Christmas, and it is the one thing they ask for every holiday season. This year, I made one with Shutterfly's template by Ali Edwards (desinger and mommy blogger extraordinaire) and it is SO CUTE. It looks like a creative scrapbook, but without the hard work. :)

To enter to win the photo cards, visit here, and then come back and leave a comment telling us which photo card template is your favorite. The winner will be announced on Friday, so you have just THREE DAYS, mamas. Don't miss out!!

I really like the Three Trees style. I'm impressed that Shutterfly has so many options. Darn, though, #1 never wins!

Thanks for sharing this though.
RyaneDecember 3, 2008 at 5:24 AM
They are all so cute! I like the Merry Monogram one and the Christmas Dazzle one.
LisaSlaterDecember 3, 2008 at 6:28 AM
I'm liking the red zinnias!
twoslocsDecember 3, 2008 at 6:40 AM
Red Damask is simple and elegant. They have so many new styles this year!

I like "Winter Berries" for three pictures; it's simple and classic.
marisabutterworthDecember 3, 2008 at 7:32 AM
I love Winter Berries!!
LisaDecember 3, 2008 at 7:38 AM
I love the Christmas Lights style. I am going to use that one this year.

I love the Merry Cinnamon! Thanks for the Chance!
Melanie JDecember 3, 2008 at 8:22 AM
I like Rudy. Or cinnamon drops. Or jingle bells. It's all cute!
Heather KateDecember 3, 2008 at 8:30 AM
Lots of cute ones! I like the Christmas dots.
cinnamossDecember 3, 2008 at 10:58 AM
I like the Holiday Berries or the Vinyl Joy.
LisaDecember 3, 2008 at 11:51 AM
I'd have to go with "Cinnamon Drops". I like the name and I'm looking for a card with 3 pictures. My kids are so cute I can't pick just one picture...

christmas confetti for sure!

Tegan and TageDecember 3, 2008 at 12:49 PM
We're expecting our first baby in February and the simplicity of the Blue Script boy announcement fits our style perfectly. You've got to love Shutterfly!
JanelleDecember 3, 2008 at 5:40 PM
Oh, how sweet! I love the "Three Trees," but I think I'd end up going for the "Four Green Stockings," because we have a family of four. I love the green and brown color combo.
AnonymousDecember 3, 2008 at 7:31 PM
I like the Chocolate Greetings. So cute!!! :) Julie
Sarah B.December 3, 2008 at 9:01 PM
I love them all but the Christmas Lights one is fun and cute.
SarahDecember 4, 2008 at 4:43 AM
I love the Rudy design! So cute! Shutterfly is fabulous!
shelbyDecember 4, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Christmas Confetti! So cute! What a wonderful give away!!
JennDecember 4, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Soooo cute all of them- but my 2 faves were "Celebrate Family" or "Grin Giggle" I also loved a bunch of the chocolate cards- tres chic!
NikkiDecember 4, 2008 at 3:32 PM
Winter Berries please!!!
Kelly @ Love WellDecember 4, 2008 at 3:38 PM
I love the "Merry, Merry" style -- mostly because it allows for four pictures, and that is a MUST seeing as we rarely have a complete family picture.

I've ordered Christmas cards for years from Shutterfly. They always get raves.
BiankaDecember 4, 2008 at 5:49 PM
I like the Christmas Lace the best! It's very pretty!!
Gwen in SoCalDecember 4, 2008 at 10:18 PM
Holiday Berries is great!
