Fortunately, this year, I already know which pictures I’m using, it’s now just a matter of finding the right design. <a title="Minted" href="http://www.minted.com" target="_blank">Minted</a> has always been one of my go-to online shops for personalized Christmas cards. They offer some of my favorite designs, which range from whimsical to modern as well as traditional. Below are some of my favorites:</p> <p><a href="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage.jpg"> <span class="pibfi_pinterest "> <img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4459 aligncenter" src="http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage-1024x791.jpg" alt="holidaycards_collage" width="560" height="432" srcset="https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage-1024x791.jpg 1024w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage-200x154.jpg 200w, https://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage-300x231.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px" /> <span class="xc_pin" onclick="pin_this(event, 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://myrosecoloredshades.com/2014/10/29/gearing-up-for-the-holidays-with-minted/&media=http://myrosecoloredshades.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/holidaycards_collage-1024x791.jpg&description=Gearing Up for the Holidays with Minted')"> </span> </span> </a></p> <p>While I was browsing thru the holiday cards, I couldn’t help navigating over to some of their other sections to possibly get some ideas for Christmas gifts.
