The Big Le Creuset Giveaway is drawing to a close at midnight tonight & the winner will be announced tomorrow morning, but we still have some more preparation do to get you ready for Valentine's Day! I've got several ideas cooking for the days leading up to Love Day, but for starters, I'm challenging everyone to take a break from the traditional flowers & candy this year & give your Valentine something they'll cherish for longer than it takes to scarf down that box of chocolates. Maybe you could write a poem, make a special project, or cook a great meal. At the very least, you could design your own Valentine out of construction paper & a doily like we all did in elementary school. (Maybe I'll do a little tutorial on the Valentine I gave my husband last year.) Even if you're not married or don't have a sweetheart, do one of these things for someone you love. Be creative & put your heart into it. And to go along with your heart-felt creation, I am offering a giveaway that's sure to make their day!
Whether you have a favorite picture of the two of you together, one of yourself, or even the kids or the dog, I can help you turn your picture into a work of art they'll love. Visit my etsy shop to see examples of photos that have been printed on canvas. I also sell this fine art in a local home decor market here in my town. I've had many satisfied customers & I think you'll like them, too.
If you'd like to win a 12" x 12" canvas print to give to your Valentine (or to keep for yourself), enter a comment below & tell me about the picture you'd choose to use. Then, spread the word to all your best friends & post it on your blog if you have one. This giveaway only runs 'til midnight Sunday night (1/24), so don't wait!

I have been wanting a canvas pic of me and hubby to do a photo colage on one of my walls in the living room........similar to Kelsey's. I would be ecstatic if I won!!! woo hoo!! These give-a-ways are fantastic and your blog is so inspiring!
ReplyDeleteI would choose a black and white photo taken of my grandparents when they were first married...they look so young and in love. My Nannie passed away in November and she was married to my Pa for 60 years. He is lost w/out her and I'd give it to him to remind him of the happy years as he faces his first Valentine's day without her.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog, btw! :)
Julie!! I love your blog...this is the first time that I have seen it. I just saw the link of FB and this just confirms that you truly ARE amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThese canvases are amazing and I think I want about 20 for my own house! But, if I won I would pick a picture of my Granny and my Jenna. Jenna is laying on her chest and Granny's arms are wrapped around her...it's so sweet! My Granny is so special to me and I named my sweet Jenna after her....I would love to give her this sweet picture printed on canvas!
I would love a canvas photo of my husband and I - maybe one from our honeymoon?
ReplyDeleteI think I would choose the picture that I had you do for Grandmothers Christmas gift. I would like to have one to display in my home. It is a display of their love that was not seen often. I love it!
ReplyDeleteI would use one of our engagement pictures and give it the place of honor in our room!

If I were lucky enough to win, I would choose a black and white photo from several years back when all three of my children still believed in dandelion wishes and were making one all together. I would love to have that memory in my home.
ReplyDeleteIf I won I would choose a black and white photo of my wedding day. For some reason I never enlarged nor framed one but I should. This would give me a great opportunity to do that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOur 2nd anniversary is coming up in March, and I would love to have a beautiful canvas photo of my favorite wedding picture --- our first dance as husband and wife. I will never forget that moment in my mind, and I would love to be reminded of it every time I looked at the photo. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI have this wonderful picture of my daughter in the tub and there are bubbles all around her. It's a fantastic shot!
ReplyDeletejullpete(at)yahoo(dot)com

If I won, I would choose a black and white print from the 1960s of my mom, her older sister, and younger brother. They are sitting together in a row. It's a classic sibling photo and my mom's favorite from her childhood. It would be such a thrill to win this and give the picture to her for her birthday! Thank you for the chance to win (my fingers are crossed)!

These are amazing! If I win (and I'm crossing my fingers), I would choose a recent pic of my three sweet daughters. I do think it would melt my hubby's heart to surprise him with this for Valentine's Day. Not to mention, our walls could certainly use something new. Thanks for introducing me to these canvases and for the opportunity to win!

ReplyDeleteI have a great picture of the kids on the beach that I would love to put up.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win a canvas photo so I could give it to my daughter, Amy Sikorski to show her how much she is loved and appreciated. She is the mother of 7 "blessings" and sometimes money is "tight." Although this is the case, she always puts her family first, so I would love to win this prize to give to her.
ReplyDeleteI have a great silly wedding group pic that I would love as a big canvas- such a neat idea!

I would pick a photo of my daughter in the bathtub at her grandmother's house. The pressure there is so high that the bubbles are huge and all you can see is her sweet little face peaking out. It's one of my favorite photos of her.

i'd use a picture of my boyfriend and i on the beach the first year we started dating. we took it ourselves but it looks professional! i always tease him and say it was the one time in our lives we looked like models (haha) and now it's passed. i'd love to have it memorialized on canvas!
ReplyDeleteDolphinV27@aol.com
How fun! I love these things!
ReplyDeleteIf I won, I would choose the photo of a picture I took on top of the John Hancock Building. You can see all of Chicago, but there are clouds floating by, so it feels like you're really flying in the sky. I was there with my brother and sister in law, and we had a great few hours chatting and talking at the top. I've been there several times, and always remember of how magical it feels to be floating in the middle of the clouds!

If I won, I'd use a photo I recently took of my 2-year-old on the beach over the holidays. We were on vacation in California, visiting from chilly Chicago, and he was so blissfully happy to be playing outside!

I would use a picture of my daughter surrounded by our 4 dogs. I used it for a Christmas card and I got more comments on it!
ReplyDeleteEveryone that was sent one complimented it.

If I were to choose one picture that I have to make into a 12X 12 cavas photo it would be a picture of my boyfriend and my lovable furballs, my ferrets. My ferrets are my world and it would be great if we had a cute family photo with them.
ReplyDeleteGreat blog and amazing giveaway!
I would do a picture of my twin nephews for their upcoming 5th birthday!

Love the canvas prints! I love the pictures you posted of them. One of my favorites is the bath tub picture. I just love bath tub pictures in the bathroom. So cute. IF I win, I would send a picture of my beautiful 3.5 year old and 14 mos old. Would love a canvas done of them together! Thanks!

I think I would dig out our wedding pics from 5 years ago and finally hang one of those up:)
ReplyDeleteMy father passed away on January 12, he would have been 84 on January 16. I have a wonderful black & white photo that my brother in law took of him which we used at his memorial. This would be a wonderful tribute and keepsake to remember my dad.
ReplyDeleteLOL...I can now tell my hubby that I am not the only person in the world that has pics of their kids in the bathroom! You just made me feel so much more 'normal'...thanks, Kim
