My First Christmas Photo Ornament

I liked the idea of making an ornament for a friend and her new born baby's first Christmas, but the idea was better than the final outcome. First of all, I've made a lot of books and photo items online, so I'm pretty usually pretty good at figuring out how the design part works. This program to design this ornament, on the other hand, was not. I had to start over a couple times and by the time I did get it figured out, it did not tell me that not all the words would fit correctly on the back of the ornament. When I got the ornament in the mail, the daughter's name went off the side of the ornament. At least the quality of the image on the opposite side was good. Also, the ornament arrived 5 days late in the mail, although I believe that was the fault of the shipping service and not zazzle. Either way, it arrived late and I wasn't completely satisfied with the ease of the online design nor the final outcome of the ornament. It was my first experience with Zazzle, so I hope they've done better for other customers. The photo was good on the one side, but the script was bad on the other side, cutting off a name.

I love the symbolism in this piece! The olive branches and flowers reminding us of Gethsemane and the joy of the resurrection. The candle reminding us of Christ's light and love. I've dropped it a few times already and it has held together nicely. Couldn't be more pleased with this product! Would definitely buy again. The printing was as expected on the front. Clear colors. The back where the artist put her brand name was a bit faded, but still readable.

I figured the quality of this would okay, but honestly it is great. The picture came out very clear and now we have can always remember what our Sancho looked like as a sweet lil puppy. We love it and can't wait to put it on our tree next year. The only drawback -- and it's minimal -- is that the gold string to hang the ornament pretty much really is just a string. I will probably replace it with actual ribbon or something next year. I used an image w/ medium resolution taken with my HTC EVO phone, and the ornament came out great. The colors and image are perfect and clear. I tried to use other lower res pictures, but the website warned me that they wouldn't print correctly. This picture didn't generate those warnings and my ornament looks great, so if you get that warning use another picture! Here is the picture I uploaded and the completed product.
