Momma Told Me: A Picture's Worth A Thousand Words.
Some of you may or may not be aware that the past couple of months, leading into the holiday season have been a bit rough- Our family was separated when Sabrina and her family had to move to Texas this past October. As they lived quite literally across the street up until then, it's been tough to adjust to the distance with texts, emails, and chat. Thankfully, we had about a month's notice to prepare ourselves for the move, and planned on taking plenty of photos the day before they drove out. So, this year, one of the most important gifts on my list were
photo canvas prints. Not only did I have several made for our own living room, but I am having many more done for gifts to be sent as well.
You may recall, last year, I used Canvas N' Decor to have one of my favorite photos from The Color Run printed. It arrived quickly and with beautiful, vivid, color, so I knew I wanted to return to them for my 3 piece focal point project in our living room. Canvas N' Decor (as it's known in the US), and
Canvas And Decor (Canada) each have beautifully redesigned websites with intuitive shopping displays. You can truly envision your photo with edits and framing before placing your order.
One of the things I especially love about Canvas N' Decor (and I order about 10+ canvas gifts throughout the year) is the speed and care in which they process my orders. Our mail tends to arrive banged up and broken, so I especially appreciate the extra sturdy shipping boxes with reinforced plastic corner protectors and individual plastic wrapping. These simple packaging touches even extend the protection and life of my prints prior to hanging, when they are subject to multiple viewings and potential wall placement. I arrange mt canvases several times before we ever place holes in the wall and that's a lot of fingers on my canvas!
The pricing is also always competitive, with the current featured sale at 50% off all canvas prints when you use the discount code MYPHOTO50. Be sure to head on over an order now, with a 7-10 day lead time heading into the holidays, there's still time, but don't delay! During 'off season,' I'll see orders arrive in less than a week from initial purchase, so I am confident they will do everything to get those holiday gifts out with extra wrapping time. Of course, I'll be putting mine on the wall with a bow, instead of wrapping!
If you have some photos that may not be the highest quality or are on the more candid side,
Canvas N' Decor can turn even Instagram snapshots into works of art with small size prints, or photo art styling. Customize your canvas with their online Photoshop inspired editor to turn photos into brilliant Pop Art pieces that really create a focal point in your home. You can even create a collage from several images to help tell a story, chronicle your family, or capture an event. I'm especially excited to announce the company will also be launching a Canvases For Charity program in 2015, where you will soon be able to decorate your home for a good cause! There's no doubt I miss Sabrina and family every day, but having them up on my wall in this photo tribute really does make the distance easier!
