Easy Canvas Prints

8x10 canvas from Easy Canvas Prints
I love the look of canvas prints, and I recently realized how easy it is to create them myself, using my own photographs. While I would love to regularly get professional shots of my kids, as a mom on a budget, printing photos I take myself is a more realistic option. It's shameful how few recent pictures I have of my kids. I mean, I have thousands on memory cards, but real, tangible pictures...not many at all. So naturally I jumped at the opportunity to review a Photo to Canvas print from Easy Canvas Prints.

I took tons of pictures over the summer, so I had many to choose from. I decided I wanted my canvas to represent the long road trip we took out west. Because I like to make things complicated, I chose to narrow the field of possibilities to only pictures that all four kids are in. All summer Mattie was going through a phase of refusing to cooperate anytime a camera came within 50 feet of her, so that made my task even more challenging. Finally I found one that I took at Glacier National Park that I thought would fit the bill, and that would look good in my family room.

Once I chose my picture, it was just a simple matter of uploading it to the Easy Canvas Prints website and following the self-explanatory prompts to complete the project. They make it incredibly user friendly. I have used their "mother" site, Build-a-Sign, in the past to order a banner, and it was a similarly great experience - very simple and easy to do.

My canvas arrived very quickly, all wrapped up neatly and securely. And now it sits in a place of honor in my family room. I've heard people say that tattoos are addictive, and once you have one, you just keeping wanting more and more. Well, I don't have any tattoos, but I feel that way about canvas prints. I want more! They look professional and polished, and they don't require frames. Just prop one on a shelf, or hang it from the wall, and voila! your space suddenly looks nicer and more put together.
