The previously ordered Christmas photo cards arrived today and while the folks on the cards are familiar, the cards are not suitable for public use. It's not the friendly smiling faces that are causing the problem, it's the paper itself that screams "cheap!" As once said by a family member when seeing a hotel room for the first time, "It's not how it looked in the brochure." So to with the current Christmas card. The photo was printed quite awkwardly; all portions of each person are not displayed correctly, almost anatomically incorrectly. Though perfectly spaced on the proof when submitted, the finished photo is off center and looks distorted, causing the viewer to question the thinking process of who created this "work" of art. Then there is the intense glare from the high gloss of the finished print, which is much too shiny. Mirror shiny. Chrome shiny. Should have powdered your nose shiny. Way too shiny for a photo. While great pleasure would be derived from disclosing the Christmas card provider, it is unprofessional, unethical and downright nasty to do so, even though it would provide great pleasure.Christmas card, take two. Finestationery offers a variety of wonderful cards, as does Annabella's and Crane's. Soon one of these providers will be completing "take two." Though 'tis the season to be jolly, this jolly somewhatfortyplus elf is busy creating new cards with the same smiley faces. Ordering early was a good idea, especially since ordering again became necessary.
