There are lots of photo companies out there but none with the quality of Shutterfly!

I have ordered several photobooks from Shutterfly and the quality is amazing.  They are the ones that I love the  best!  The designs and quality are unreal! Plus, the ease of creating and ordering the books is incredible!

Not only does Shutterfly offer photobooks, and prints, but they have amazing cards.  Cards for all occasions!  Look at some of these cute ideas!

Having a Summer party? Check out these cute Summer Party Invitations!  What a great way to announce a party or BBQ! Not only are they easy to make but they really grab someones attention.  The designs are so modern!

I love these Thank You Cards!  What a great idea to put your kids picture on the outside smiling and then use them all year for Thank You cards.  What better way to say thank you then to send a smile!  I think I am going to order some for the kids.  Then they will have cards to use for Birthdays, Christmas, and just because!  They have so many designs to choose from too.

Now, IF I was going to have another baby these would be the cards I would pick for Baby Announcements.  How adorable!  I just love the colors and the designs!

Shutterfly makes the ordering process so easy! Plus, if you sign up for a new account you get 50 Free 4×6 Prints!

I also have a giveaway!

I am so excited about this giveaway!  General Mills and My Blog Spark contacted me to tell me about the new Penguins of Madagascar toys in boxes of Trix cereal!  I love to buy Trix because they are Wheat free and my son can eat them!  They are seriously a favorite at my house! I bought two boxes yesterday because they are BOGO this week at Publix!

Anyway,  I think it is great that companies are putting prizes in the boxes of cereal like they used to do.  I remember getting my Mom’s biggest bowl out just to dump out the cereal and hunt for the toy.  These Penguins of Madagascar toys were a huge hit at my house because my kids already loved the cartoon!

My Blog Spark and General Mills want to give one lucky reader this great prize pack.

  • One box of Trix
  • Two Penguins of Madagascar Launchers
  • 1 Penguins of Madagascar DVD

How to Enter

Fill out  the form below for each entry

This giveaway will end August 2nd at 10 PM EST!  Good Luck

I was provided 1 of the above gift packs for review purposes.  I was in no other way compensated for this post.
