Wahoo! I have a *HOT* new photo deal to share with you. Kodak Gallery is offering up 20 FREE 5×7 Photo Announcements with envelopes ($17.98 value)!! You will just have to pay around $2.89 for shipping which is still a very sweet deal! To get started, go here and click on the pink “Get Free Cards” button and start creating your very own personalized photo announcements. These do not have to be birth announcements– think outside the box. You could do party invitations, thank you cards, recipe cards etc. After creating your photo cards, start the checkout process. That’s it– NO coupon code is needed!
**New Kodak Gallery members will also score 50 FREE prints!
