Photo displays for your home



Hi everyone! I am here today to share with you one of my favorite products – Photo Canvases. Like most scrapbookers I have a sincere love for my family photos and enjoy displaying them in my home to remind me of favorite family memories and the love that we share.  I am also always on the lookout for a unique and attractive way to display those photos, and when I first saw this photo canvas idea I knew I had found one!


As President of our family-owned company, Adornit – Carolee’s Creations, I knew I wanted to share this with our customers. We have been offering this service for about a year now, and it has been very popular. These photo canvases are a very stylish, affordable way to display your photos. Alone, or in a grouping, the unique texture and dimension make your room come alive. Here’s a peek at the grouping I have in my home:


We offer two different options for printing your photos. The first is Canvas Wrapped, where the canvas wraps around and creates a box effect with a two-inch depth. These do not require framing and are what you see in the picture above. The second is Canvas Flat, where the canvas is mounted flat onto 1/8” wood and then you frame it.


We offer standard framing sizes, 8x10, 11x14, etc., and also a very popular square 8x8 size, perfect for groupings. We can also do customized templates, which makes it easy for your display to be super-unique.


For Valentine's Day I created this custom 12x12 canvas template. I enjoyed it so much that after Valentine's Day I decided to move it to a shelf in my room.



So how does this work? It’s very simple! I’ll walk you step-by-step through the process:

1.  Choose a place in your home where you’d like your canvas photos.

2.  Measure the space you have chosen and determine what sizes would work best.

3.  Choose the photos you plan to use.

4.  Go online to adornit.com.

5.  Using our online order form, choose Canvas Wrapped, Canvas Flat, or go here for the templates

6.  Also choose your size and a custom filter, if desired, then complete your order.

7.  Email your high resolution photo to info@adornit.com.

8.  Wait with anticipation while we process your order at Adornit. The happiness will arrive on your doorstep within 2 weeks!

Now for the fun part- who wants to win their very own
16 x 20 Gallery wrap canvas?

I love the look of your wrap around canvas. It is so hard to pick just one photo for it but I think a picture of my family, grandparents, parents and my brother and me when we were younger would be great. As all the others have passed away, it would be a great addition to my photo wall. I will be looking at your other creations shortly. Thanks for the opportunity to share and possibly win this canvas.
I love these! We are immersed in soccer right now in our household. I managed to capture a shot of my son shooting his first goal for his new team. It was sweet that I actually got the perfect shot. My son is riding high on that moment, so it would be fun to have a constant reminder of his achievement. SCORE!
This is such a great idea. I'm not a big "art" person, so this photo canvas would be perfect in my home. I'm going to start looking for pictures right now!
The canvas' are fabulous. I love it! I have a seven year old son who is autistic and for his birthday this year he wanted a birthday party so he could invite his friends from school. I was a bit aprehensive because I didn't know if his classmates would show up. To my delight, half of the class came and some kids from his kindergarten class as well. It was, in his words "The best day ever!" I would choose the group picture from his birthday party to remind me that he may be different but he is not less and others see him for him not his autism.
I think I would pick a picture of my 3 kids together. Time is constantly fleeting and I cherish every picture I have of them. It would be wonderful to have one to display in my living room for my husband, myself, and our guests to enjoy now and for years to come.
What a cool product! Your family is so creative... The photo that I would use is one of my husband and me on the beach in Bermuda....and I'd hang it in the bedroom, of course :)

These are so cool and I've always wanted something like this for above our fireplace. We have a huge empty mantel and a picture of all of us from our wedding would be so cooL!
ok..now I'm addicted. I just purchased and downloaded UR 2 CRE8ive and I LOVE IT! Thanks
Love, Love Love the photo canvas. My fovorite style is the canvas wrapped. It will fit in the more casual atmosphere of our home since it does not need to be framed. Now to decide what wall I want to try them on first!
I'm not sure which photo I would use yet...but definitely something with family. I would hang it above my TV in our living room. That would be a great focal point and I have been trying to decide what to put there. This would be perfect.
I have always loved the look of canvas pictures. My son is getting married April 10,2010 so I would love to take a family picture from the wedding & put it on a canvas. I believe it would give it that elegant look. Thanks for the opportunity to share this with you & possible win the canvas. Cindy M.
