PurpleTrail Great Personalized cards and a Free Shipping Code

  It’s that time of year again.  Now that the leaves are falling that means the winter holidays are right around the corner.  Now is the perfect time to order personalized holiday cards!   Order ahead of time and it is one less thing you need to worry about while wrapping gifts!   Personalized cards are great way to share and connect with your  family  and friends during the holiday season.

Every year we send out personalized holiday cards.   We get nothing but compliments.  I even keep a couple every year in a photo book to remember each year's holiday memories.  I also love going to family and friend's homes and looking at all the personalized cards on display.   They are full of special moments, memories!

Here are 5 ways to make your cards great:

1. Take candid shots. I personally love the photos that aren't staged.  Candid shots represent you!
2. Include kid's art work.  Scan your little one's version of a Christmas tree and use it on your card. 
3. Switch it up.  You don't always need winter photos to make a holiday card look great.  Got a great family photo from summer vacation?  Then make a card around it. 
4. Something big happen this year, then share it.  Did you recently get married, move, have a baby?  What a great way to share your big news this holiday.
5. Pets.  Most people are expecting family photos.  Why not dress up the pooches or kitties in holiday gear and start snapping away
