Let’s welcome in the New Year with a “tip of our hats” and hope that nothing along the 2012 road causes us to “hold on to our hats”. The whole idea prompts me to take a look at hats on canvas!
Barbara asked us to put this sweet photo on Canvas. “It was a wonderful experience! So quick and easy,” she told us. “My photo was twenty years old and needed cropping. You guys did a wonderful job. I will definitely recommend you to everyone.”
Radelle is a professional photographer. “This is a photo of my two-year-old son. It is my favorite photo of his life thus far, and I cherish it beyond words! As a pro photographer, I was using a different canvas company. Once this canvas arrived from Canvas on Demand, I think it’s safe to say that I’ve now switched. I am SO PLEASED! It literally took my breath away. I gasped when I saw it. My son came running to ask me what was wrong. It was that nice. The printing and shipping time was very quick, and you shipped to Canada with no problems, no hiccups at all. LOVE IT!” I love it too, Radelle. Your little son is a charmer, so I can see why you cherish this canvas so!
This next customer was on her way to the zoo and captured this photo of a young zookeeper. “I want to say thanks for the wonderful work you did on the canvas that I ordered. Your team went above and beyond! My photo was not sized right and your customer service representative contacted me to say you would upgrade the size at no additional charge to me. That blew me away! Most other companies would have just cropped the photo or canceled my order. I just wanted to say thanks again! I will be a returning customer!”
Susan loved this photo of her grandson, but she didn’t want the people in the background. “I just wanted Canvas on Demand to capture my grandson’s utter joy! The service was exceptional and the canvas is fantastic! The end result far exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier. In fact, I am going to order another for my son and daughter-in-law as a gift.”
Idioms are often great reminders and encouragers. “Taking off our hats” is a way of showing honor and anticipation…and a way of welcoming. Let’s launch this year with such an attitude! Mom

No day of the year seems to offer more hope than New Years. It is a new beginning, a time of hope and anticipation for the 365 days ahead. We at Canvas on Demand wish each of you a prosperous and meaningful 2012.
Mark Twain said: Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
We at Canvas on Demand encourage you to make resolutions this year that will have long term and positive effects on your life, the lives of those you love, and the world as a whole. You really can be the change in the world that you want to see.

Many of our customers pay close attention to SHAPE. In fact, I often see orders come in for canvases made from photos of shapes. Yes, just intriquing shapes!
For example, Robert told us about his canvas: The Canvas on Demand folks are great to work with. When I got rid of the TV in our bedroom, it left a big empty space in our entertainment center that I wanted to fill with something appropriate. I live in a semi-artsy community where several people have placed their old TVs outside as yard art. I wanted to take that concept and give it a little twist. So here is what used to be my least favorite image from my early TV watching days. Is it art? You decide. Now, Robert…that is pure FUN! Thanks for sharing.
- Shaping Up in an Old TV!
Look at the shapes in Joanna’s art canvas! I love her story, and I bet you will too. A friend of mine from a collage class drew the girl as a black and white ink drawing on an 8 x 10 sheet of paper and wrote out Bible verses of encouragement and self-esteem for women. My friend is one of the most colorful people I know–full of life and joy. So I decided to scan the drawing and color the girl the way that I saw my friend. I loved it so much that I decided to hang it in my office as well as get another Canvas to share with her. Canvas on Demand has just been an excellent way for me to express my art in a big way. It turned out very professional and more than I could have asked for. When I read your testimonial, Joanna, it made me wish I had several of those black and white images, so I could color them the way I see some of the wonderful people in my life. Maybe your friend should consider creating a coloring book for adults.
- Shaping Up in Color!
My last example is a canvas we made for Courtni. She created a personal energy mandala and asked us to make it into a canvas wall hanging. This is what Courtni had to say. My experience with Canvas on Demand was a super smooth transaction from start to finish. I was looking for a place in town (I live in Phoenix) to print my mandala on canvas when I just happened to come across Canvas On Demand! How does it get any better than that? Because of the shape of the photo, I upgraded to a 24 x 24 square canvas. Upgrading and customizing the size on the site was easy–just a few clicks. I love the live chat feature on the website! I used it to find out when my canvas had been shipped and learned it was being loaded that very minute. Canvas on Demand emailed me a tracking number, and I received the canvas one day earlier than estimated. A very smooth transition and AWESOME QUALITY!
- Shaping Up into a Mandala
We at Canvas on Demand are always learning from our customers…and I love passing the lessons on to our readers. So now I hope many of you will begin looking for interesting and colorful shapes while you are strolling around with your camera. One of those clicks of the shutter just might end up on the wall of your home or office! Mom

Canvas on Demand was at a high tea to say “thank you” to a non-profit (501C3) organization that supports teachers and students in low-income regions stateside and abroad. The Cornelius Foundation International has served such a mission for twelve years, and last week’s high tea fundraiser in Clay City, Indiana, was an opportunity for women to come together to learn more about this wonderful organization. Jackie (Mom) from Canvas on Demand awarded a $100 gift certificate to Wendy, board member of the organization. The initiative raised $1,153. Jackie said, “Canvas on Demand is honored to work with hundreds of grassroots organizations like this one.”

Are you involved with a non-profit organization that is doing great work in your community? Or have you or someone you love been touched by such a group? Canvas on Demand wants to offer our support and encouragement by presenting them with a $100 Canvas on Demand gift certificate to be auctioned off at their next fundraiser. It’s just one way we can cheer on the good works of local non-profit organizations. Visit our Doing Good program by clicking here: http://cool.canvasondemand.com/category/donation/ Mom

There are less than three weeks of shopping left! If you are anything like me, I avoid big shopping malls and massive crowds as much as possible. More and more people like me are shopping online, leaving extra time for the things that are really important during the holidays—things like family and friends and celebrations!
A personal art canvas makes the perfect gift…and often becomes a family heirloom passed down generation to generation. (Yes, they are made to last!) It only takes a few minutes to place an order online, or you can always call our great customer service hotline. Our team is waiting and ready to serve you. So with the holidays in mind, I want to share some great orders we filled for some of our customers.
Carol asked us to create this holiday canvas for her. “Our children and grandchildren came to spend their first white Christmas in the Chicago area. The photo is of them and our two dogs Indy and Taffy in the quaint village of Long Grove. Canvas on Demand is by far the best photo type program I have ever worked with. The end product is beautiful and if there is any question at all I was called. It has been the most positive experience, and a perfect end result!” Thanks for those kind words, Carol. I once lived in the Chicago area and have fond memories of Long Grove too.
White Christmas
What a wonderful traditional image William chose for this canvas of his three children. He told us that these are “his beautiful children photographed professionally by Shutter Love Studio of Perrysburg, Ohio. My experience with Canvas on Demand was excellent. It was easy to order and the product is beautiful and of great quality.”
William's Beautiful Kids in Front of the Tree
A canvas hanging in your home can bring back the most treasured memories each time you look at it. Our customer, Janice, loved that her family had come home for the holidays! ”The service and product quality was excellent! Thank you so much for taking our precious photo and turning it into a piece of wall art.”
Home for the Holidays!
And look at this next one: If it isn’t the jolly ofd guy himself! Yes, we sometimes make canvases for the rich and famous! Alfred told us that: “The photo was taken at the Rein Deer Ranch in Waxahachie Texas at a meeting of the Lone Star Santas. The Santa in the photo is Patrick of Irving Texas. Canvas on Demand was a great help on deciding on the color for the edge, since the photo could not be a rap around. I could not be happier with the excellent work Canvas On Demand did. I will use them again and tell my friends of the great work they do.”
Now here's a familiar face...
Happy holidays from all of us at Canvas on Demand. We encourage you to keep the most important things and people in your lives at the top of your list this year! Mom

Yes, it’s almost “that most wonderful time of the year!” Black Friday and Cyber Monday are already behind us and less then a month remains for all the preparations.
Canvas on Demand can help relieve the stress of shopping and provide the perfect gift for each of the special folks on your list. It only takes a few minutes online to place an order…and in a short time, an amazing one-of-a-kind heirloom art canvas will arrive at your door. All that’s left for you to do is attach a gift tag that tells them how much you love them.
And while you’re buying for others, take a lesson from Christian and Erica and don’t forget to be good to yourself this year too. They ordered holiday family portraits for themselves. Christian told us…“This company has a superb customer service department. Informative, cooperative, and reasonably priced. We are very pleased with the quality of the resulting Canvas.”
And Erica, with all the colors we associate with the season, opted for black and white. Stunning! I agree with her testimony: “IT IS AMAZING!! I can’t explain how impressed I was with the quality, I love it.”
A stunning black and white holiday canvas
Denise on the other hand, asked us to make this canvas as a gift for her mother. What mom wouldn’t feel touched to find this family portrait under her tree? Denise explained that “it was a photo of 14 family members, and it turned out excellent. I was very impressed with how the art department made the canvas bigger and they did it without charging me!”
One of my favorites that I’m featuring today is a canvas we made for a customer named Jana. It’s from a photo of her parents holding their 3 yorkies. She wrote to us saying: “I want to whole-heartedly thank you. It was made larger at no cost to me, arrived quickly, and looks just awesome! My parents were thrilled beyond belief! Your company is just amazing!”
Thanks, Jana. We love to hear about folks being thrilled by our products. And we believe that our customers are the ones who are AMAZING! Mom

I just took a long drive from the Midwest through Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. The lovely autumn colors that had fallen from the trees up north were still brilliant the farther south I went. So I suppose that is why I was thinking FALL as I prepared to write this article.
For example, Heather asked us to create a canvas from a precious photo of a little boy named Tucker who was pheasant hunting. She told us that she “had originally sent in another photo to Canvas on Demand. But they contacted me immediately that they were not 100% with the quality of the picture and asked if I had another version or a different picture. It turned out beautiful!”
Another customer, Cathy, placed an order and wrote this testimonial: “I am a professional photographer and needed a sample to show my customers. This photo is of my granddaughter. My customers are raving about the quality of the photo on canvas. I am very pleased. Canvas on Demand is #1 on my list. Your consultants were very professional and called me about the resolution on two of the photos that needed to be changed. That made all the difference in the finished product. Thanks to a great team, Canvas on Demand!”
And finally, Bonnie asked us to make a canvas from a photo of her son’s first visit to his grandparent’s house in Iowa. “He was in awe of the piles of leaves everywhere! I love, love, love Canvas on Demand and couldn’t be happier with the canvases I’ve ordered.”
So I see there are at lease two ways to hang onto autumn a little bit longer. You can take a long drive sourth…or you can have an art canvas made of your favorite fall photo. Mom
