Happy Halloween! This year Halloween has been super busy. We attended a variety of parties that all required costumes. Our crazy elementary school celebrated Halloween last Friday and are ignoring the holiday today and having a regular day. Good luck with that teachers! Party or not the kids are excited about tonight so they will have a lot more energy in class.
It seems the day after Halloween I am thinking about Christmas. So many things to plan and prepare which I like to have done early in December. I’ve already had a request from Grandparents to update our family photo. I admit it is a couple years old. I have had pictures taken, but never printed any of them. It has been on my long “to do” list. Canvas prints are very popular and the ones I have seen look amazing. I had the opportunity to get an 8×10 wrapped canvas print from Printcopia.
I did find their website easy to navigate. I love that the for each option you are given there is a drop down menu with the available choices and prices. I like to know how much everything will be along the way and this site is great at making that information available and clear.
You are able to upload a picture or pull a picture from Instagram or Facebook. The only problem I had in designing was when I was trying to get the picture exactly how I wanted it on the canvas. I wanted the canvas to be vertical, as my picture was vertical. I could not find an option to flip the picture. After trying for quite a while I decided I was either missing something right in front of my face, or the option to flip the picture is not available. I decided to take my picture into a photo editing program and change the dimensions and orientation, save it and then upload it again. This time it worked very easily. I uploaded the picture and I was able to choose how I wanted the canvas wrapped and other options very easily. If I would have uploaded a horizontal picture the first time it would have taken me 5 minutes to order a the canvas print. Wouldn’t it be great to only spend 5 minutes on every christmas present!
When my canvas print arrived in the mail I was anxious to see how it looked. I opened the carefully wrapped package. First was to open the box, then remove the paper wrapped a few times around and then a plastic bag keeping the canvas print safe. I love opening packages like this! I am very happy with the quality of the product. Shipping takes two to three weeks so make sure you plan ahead and order early if you have a deadline.
