Shutterfly.com is already the site to go to for holiday cards. Now with the Shutterfly Family Photo Site you can find lots of great tips and tricks for getting the perfect shot for you family holiday card. They also have some great ideas for a family photo day in which you get together with other families and take pictures of each others families. I think that sounds like a fun activity. I tend to be behind the camera for everyone, but with this the plan is to take turns taking picture of each others family.
Shutterfly is also having a cardworthy photo contest on their facebook page. Until December 9th you can upload a photo into one of your favorite 2012 Shutterfly Holiday cards. There are different themes for each week including travel, funny, pets, and family holiday. The grand prize is a dream trip for a family of four (the winner gets to pick the destination). First prize gets $500 in Shutterfly credit, second prize gets $250 in Shutterfly credit, and third prize is $150 in Shutterfly credit.
