Cardstore.com Review and Giveaway

Last year I won a giveaway for some holiday cards from Cardstore.com, and it quickly became one of my favorite places to get personalized photo cards online. Ordering and personalizing a card couldn't be simpler. You simply select from their wide range of holiday cards, then personalize by uploading photos and editing text. I love that you can put photos and text on all four sides of a folded card! The design, printing and card quality was excellent:


We loved our Cardstore.com holiday card, and everyone who received it loved it too. So when Cardstore.com invited me to check out this year's holiday line and order a set of cards to review, I jumped at the chance! I was tempted to do a repeat of last year's design, but there are so many beautiful options that I quickly changed my mind.

It took a while, but I finally decided on the Green Snowflake design because this year's family photos were taken in the great outdoors, and I thought the green logo would complement our outfits and the photo backgrounds:


Once again, I was able to utilize all 4 sides of the card and fill it up with greetings, photos and a short update of what our family has been up to in 2010. My order is already on its way, and I can't wait to see how it turns out!
