StampedStuff: Easy Canvas Prints for Digital Scrapbooking

I've just found something awesome to use for new digital scrapbooking through a company called Build-a-Sign - Buildasign.com.  They helped me to take my completed digital scrapbook pages and turn them into 3-Dimensional canvas wraps for my walls.  This is very popular art form these days and it's a great way to get your more special pages out of your albums and onto your walls. 

I went to their EasyCanvasPrints.com website and it was really easy.  Took me about 10 minutes from start to finish.  There are dozens of sizes to choose from and and there are lots of great options to choose from.  You can go black & white or sepia for a dramatic effect, wrap the print clear around the edges, or add a contrasting border.  


Have some fun with it.  Take a scrapbook page of your favorite family moment, a much loved pet, a wedding scene, or just about anything you like.  For my print, I took a very simple page I made with my grandchildren and my youngest son.  It started like this:



I saved it as a high resolution .jpg file, uploaded it to the EasyCanvasPrints.com site, made a few style choices, and I ended up with this fabulous 8 X 8 canvas for my wall.  First I tried it on one of my white walls, but I didn't think it "popped" all that much. 



However, on my burgundy wall, I think it really POPS.  Even though I didn't plan it that way, the accent color I used on the page matches this wall perfectly.  



(Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to filter out the glare.  I'm kind of a novice with a "good" camera.  I'm taking a photography class next month at the EVO Conference.)


This was a great experience for me.  It was so easy and I'm so pleased with the result.  I'm a big fan of having pictures of my family all around my house and this is such a personal way to do it with my scrapbooking, I think it really personalizes your artwork.  


If you'll go over to the Easy Canvas Prints Facebook page, and "LIKE" them, you can get 50% off on your own canvas print for a limited time.  Or, if you'd prefer, the BuildaSign site has all kinds of custom made bumper stickers, magnets, or vinyl window clings.  You could get Scrapbooking Queen, or I'd Rather be Scrapbooking, or my personal favorite My husband lets me have all the scrapbooking supplies I can hide!  Wouldn't that be funny?  You know, you've got to have some fun with things.  That's my philosophy.


Disclaimer:  I received my canvas print for free in exchange for reviewing the product, but my opinions are my own and are completely honest.
