Create your own personalised christmas cards accompanying image

A family photo slipped in the annual Christmas card used to be the only way to keep up with friends in far-flung places. Personalised photographic Christmas cards are beginning to take their place. Done well, they’re a charming way to keep your circle of friends up to date with family life, particularly while your children are still in the early, angelic stage. Colour and composition are the main design decision, followed by candid versus formal. Black-and-white photos offer a classic look that rarely dates, while saturated colour can be wonderfully effective against a plain, creamy background. A selection of photographs, rather than a single shot, is visually appealing and allows
you to create depth by adding layers of content. You can design and print yourself, take your design to the local printer or use an online one-stop shop such as www.snapfish.com.au.

I ordered some christmas 'cards' from Snapfish, and I cannot recommend them at all. What I was sent were not cards in any sense of the word, but merely single leaf photgraphic paper, basically a photo with a border. Because it's just photo paper they can't even be used as postcards as there are logos and printing all over the back. It's now going to cost me more money and effort mounting these things onto actual card so that they are usable.
I've tried getting in contact with Snapfish about this, but they're not responding to my e-mails.
