Merry Christmas!

So this is the original Christmas card I picked out, designed, staged the picture to match . . . you get the idea.  Well, as you may recall, I had 50 free cards courtesy of the Shutterfly post.  When I went to order this card, my coupon code did not work!  Imagine my frustration . . .  As it turns out, though, the free cards are not valid on plain ole' traditional photo cards; they have to be fancier ones.  Which, ironically, were far more expensive per card than what I originally picked. 

So the best I could create from the different style was this:

This is a stationery card, printed on very heavy nice paper.  If the reverse side was formatted properly, it could have been mailed as a postcard. 

So the 50 free cards were worth even more than I thought (and would have spent)!
