Do you Shutter?

Do you use Shutterfly for printing of your favorite memories of family and friends? Do you use it for ministry so members of the church or youth group can access and print off pictures? If not here are a few reasons why I think you should use Shutterfly. (I have not used it for the second reason but it has some great programs to host your pictures with a custom url.)

We have used Shutterfly several times over the last few years. We have printed off favorite pictures that we want to treasure. We printed off several from our Europe trip last summer and have framed those in the house as our personal art work. Earlier this year we used their cards for Kennedie's birth announcement. And in 6 months I am sure we will use them to order Kennedie's birthday party invitation cards. We used them a couple of years ago for our Christmas card, last year we did a video card at Vimeo. This year we are returning to the traditional Christmas card though.

For ministry related I have dreamt of making a calendar of all the pictures of prior year events and activities, but one that also highlights the upcoming activities as well. Right now this is still a dream, but maybe it can happen or maybe you can steal the idea and make it happen for your ministry.

Ok, so let me brag on Jessica for a second. She had her first official and unofficial photo shoot and she is hosting those pictures on Shutterflys public share account with a personal url. The pictures are of one of the Seniors in our youth ministry at High Pointe.

You can grab 50 free cards yourself to give Shutterfly a chance.
