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

One of our Canvas Crazies (folks who register online with us because they are crazy about our products) recently told me they were fascinated with our Customer Showcase because when visiting it the other day they began to connect some of the canvases into a collection of sorts in their imagination. So they actually copied a few images and forwarded them to me. They called this little collection Mane Points. I want to share it with our readers.
We will begin with a canvas we made for Carla who told us: “This is my favorite photo of all time. I was out riding my horse Cheyenne, and we were crossing the creek on our ranch. Cheyenne stopped to look around and to get a drink of water, and I saw the magic that was in view. I feel so lucky to have gotten this shot and when I look at this picture. And you folks at Canvas on Demand were so helpful. I received my picture in a timely manner and there was absolutely no damage from being shipped! Thank you.”
Mane Point #1
The next Mane Point of this article is in regard to a canvas we created of an alpaca named Gandolf for Kelly. “He is one of our amazing little boy alpacas and he has so much fleece on his face and legs! He is a beauty! My husband is a photoshop geek and did some fun manipulation to give this photo some interesting layers. We absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE our canvas!! We would tell others to order with complete and utter confidence. These folks do a wonderful job! We will definitely be ordering from them again!”
Mane Point #2
Jeanine sent us an image—another Mane Point—that I have shared with many friends. She said that “Rupert is such a ham when he plays in the snow. He loves the camera and the camera clearly loves him too!”
Mane Point #3
When I received this collection from the Canvas Crazy, I was delighted by the next image that struck her fancy. Well, it’s a Mane Point for sure too! Customer Nicole’s son “was caught on camera just waking up with the morning light was coming in. He is looking out onto the balcony.” What a handsome young man, Nicole. I am sure this will be a family favorite for many years to come!
Main Point #4
And thanks to Denise for sharing her Mane Points collection with us and our readers. What do the rest of you see a collection when you visit our showcase. If you do, please let me know. Mom

With the holidays right around the corner, our thoughts turn to family. Jane Howard said, “Call it a clan, call it a tribe, call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one…”
If you are trying to come up with the perfect gift idea, why not give the gift of nostalgia? Just look at the amazing heirloom quality of these canvases. Now these are gifts that never stop giving!
The canvas we made for Connie is of her parents’ wedding. It was taken in 1949. “The photo is a close-up wedding portrait of my parents. It was a colorized black and white and not very good quality. But Canvas on Demand more than exceeded my expectations. When they determined it could not be worked on as a large canvas like I had ordered, they contacted me, and we discussed options. The final product was a spectacular 8×10 in a perfect frame. I am so happy, I am ordering three more.“
Wedding Memories
Paulette was equally happy with her canvas. She told us: “This is a high school graduation photo of my grandmother Leone dating back to 1908. This is an incredible image, and one I will cherish forever. I cannot stress enough the perfection in customer service and restoration to final product rendered. I have already recommended this site to many friends. The finished product is absolutely beautiful.”
High School Memories
Now here is a gift that Elissa gave to her father for Christmas, and I’ll bet it’s one of his most treasured possessions! “The photo is of my great x 4 grandfather, a Union officer in the Civil War with all officers. The service was excellent! The photo was in very bad condition and the restoration was amazing! I can’t wait to give the canvas to my father for Christmas!”
Patriotic Memories
And finally, I love the canvas that Sulaisman had us make for him. It’s all about community leadership. “Yes leadership. A very important black and white portrait of leadership in my community with family members in there too. I requested someone to call me to assist with actual dimension of frame depending on picture quality. A person called me and spent the time needed to explain which dimensions would look nice and kept assuring me that the canvas would be beautiful. I added touch up service level one and was pleased.”
Leadership Memories
How can there be any doubt about the perfect holiday family gift? Now is the time to start digging out the treasures, making decisions, and placing your orders. You won’t be disappointed when you give a bit of nostalgis to family loved ones! Mom

I am winding up October with a little more practical information about Canvas on Demand. The last article told about options our customers have when placing an order. This article tells about an effort our company makes to support those in our country who are doing good…and making a difference! Canvas on Demand is committed to making the world a better place. That’s why we want to recognize non-profit organizations striving toward that same goal. Perhaps you or someone you love have been touched by such a group. Or maybe you volunteer for one, since so many non-profits are volunteer-powered. In any case, if you let us know about the good work your favorite organization is doing, we will present that organization with a $100 Canvas on Demand gift certificate to be auctioned off at their next fundraiser. The highest bidder can redeem the certificate for an 11″x14″ PixelPainting canvas created from their favorite photo and the organization keeps the proceeds to continue their mission.
Your qualifying 501C3 organization will receive a package with the following materials: A $100 Canvas on Demand gift voucher, a sample canvas and stand, a descriptive table tent, and several 10% discount cards for those participating in the event.
This year, Canvas on Demand plans to give away up to $100,000 worth of Doing Good gift vouchers. It’s our way of supporting and partnering with qualified grass roots organizations that are working to become the very change they want to see in the world. Following are a few testimonials from recipients.
Donna from the Asheboro Association of Education Office wrote to us saying: We received the gift certificate and display canvas last week. Thank you so very much. Our group is so excited and we know the canvas will be a great student scholarship fundraiser at our statewide workshop for school office professionals. We will send pictures!
From Kim: Thank you for your donation of a $100 gift certificate to the Elmwood Parents’ Club, an Illinois-based nonprofit organization. Your donation was auctioned off at our Golf Outing, Auction and Dinner event to help raise funds to further the Parents’ Club’s tax-exempt activities. The highest bidder took home your donation for $60. This year’s earnings will be used to provide assistance in worthwhile projects for the betterment of Elmwood Elementary School. We thank you for your support.
Derrick told us… Thanks for helping the Cornerstone Academy PTG with our fundraiser. The kit that you supplied was very well put together with a beautiful sample canvas for display of the quality of your work to all attendees. It helped contribute to the success of the silent auction.
From Traci: Canvas On Demand, once again you came through for us! Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our 2011 Silent Auction. The Silent Auction raised $1126 for our school. This is money that will go towards helping the students and teachers at South Hamilton Elementary in many ways. We hope that this Silent Auction will also benefit your business. We let the entire student body know who donated items, and we encouraged them to make these places ones that they will shop at regularly. We would love for you to partner with our school again sometime in the future. We could not have done with without you, so thank you again for helping us in this new endeavor.
So go to our website’s Doing Good page and register to get you gift card! And just for fun, click here to listen to one recipient’s “thank you message”! http://youtu.be/xoASrCqW7nU Mom

Once these lovely fall days are over, many of us focus on redecorating projects at home before the holidays. That means there will be lots of reasons to consider a few new art canvases for your home or office. It seems like the perfect time for an article about some of Canvas on Demand’s options.
Gallery-Wrap: Our most popular canvas choice for customers who don’t plan to use a frame is called a Gallery Wrap—a canvas image wrapped around a 1.5” wood frame. It offers a nice clean look. The portion of the canvas that wraps around the side can be made of the image itself…or it can simply be white or black.
Frame: Then there is the option of ordering your canvas with a frame. Our classic, high-quality premium frame creates a timeless look for your canvas photo. All frames are custom made to order. You can choose from four different styles.
Frames
Photo Realistic or Pixel Painting: Another choice our customers enjoy is selecting either a Photo Realistic or Pixel Painting finish. Photo Realistic give a canvas just like your photo; Pixel Painting creates the look of a traditional oil painting. To create the Pixel Painting effect, we don’t use filters. Instead. Instead, one of our artists uses a specialized tablet and stylus to create brush strokes by hand to capture the unique details. You will want to choose this technique when reproducing portrait style photographs where the subjects’ faces are prominent or any time you want a beautiful painterly effect.
Like brush strokes?
Other Options: Now here are a few artsy options for you:
- PhotoSplits are a great way to take one image and create a canvas grouping. They’re an excellent design solution for larger spaces.
- Wall Displays are a great way to tell a story with gallery wrapped canvases. They are also a good way to save money, since Wall Displays are 20% cheaper than if those same canvases were purchased separately.
- Collages: Sometimes you have so many great photos that you just can’t narrow it down to one. Don’t worry, we have found a great option to help you, Collages can be created from as few as 2 photos. Or, if you’re the trigger happy photographer who has hundreds of photos we have something called a Photo Mosaic. No matter how many pictures you have or who is the lucky recipient, there is the perfect choice for you.
Photo Split Image
Collage
So let the creative side of you shine as you consider all of Canvas on Demand’s option! Just go to our website’s OPTIONS pages and you will see that the possibilities are endless. Mom

Many, many times we hear from delighted customers who use similar words when describing their canvas: Best friend or Just like family. These words generally refer to the pet in their life. As an animal lover, I especially love reading these testimonials and decided to share a few with our readers.
This dog, Harley, was rescued by her owners. This canvas we made for Carol celebrates Harley’s transformation! “This is Chris and Harley just before her first Christmas with us. After we rescued her earlier in the year she went through a huge transformation from a neglected, sickly little pup to this wonderful, vibrant bully. We just had to capture her first holiday season as part of our family. This photo is Chris’s favorite, so I had it transferred to canvas and gave it to him for his 35th birthday. I couldn’t be happier with our canvas. This is my husband’s favorite picture of our bulldog and him. He mentioned how much he would like to have it enlarged and framed. So, I did even better and had it transferred to gallery canvas. I surprised him with it as a birthday present. He was speechless! We couldn’t get over the detail and quality. Job well done Canvas on Demand! We look forward to preserving more future memories with you.”
Rescued!
Rhiannon asked us to create a canvas of a photo taken on a boat during a family trip to New York with their best friend. “Great service, great product, and great price.” Thanks, Rhianon, that sums it up!
Their best friend!
I love this next one and am sure you will too. Customer, Barri, titled it Reflections. “This is a picture of my fiancé and our Bull Terrier taken at the beginning of December on the enclosed house porch. The way they are looking so pensively outside and how the sun and shadows are reflected was captured beautifully. We named it “Reflections.” My fiancé loves the picture taken with my digital camera and I thought enlarging it would be a wonderful Christmas present. I was so thrilled when it arrived, and he was totally surprised and happy when he opened the box Christmas morning. It so beautifully captured him with his best friend. Canvas on Demand also took out the date and time stamp, which I forgot to request. It is so gorgeous. It looks like a true painting with brushstrokes. Just fabulous!!! When I thought of having the picture made to canvas, I did an Internet search and found you. The customer reviews were wonderful, so I ordered a 16×20″ size on the website. It was so user-friendly, and I placed the order in five minutes. These make wonderful, personalized gifts.”
Reflections
Diane requested a canvas of her daughter and a precious little 14-year-old beagle named BeBe. “My daughter had the photos taken for a Christmas gift to her father and I. Our precious Beagle, BeBe, had cancer and we knew we wouldn’t have her much longer. The canvas turned out beautiful and is a testament of the love we all feel for that sweet dog. Nothing compared to the day I received the canvas. It is GORGEOUS.”
In Memory
So how about your “best friend” who thinks he’s a “member of the family”? Isn’t it time to snap a few great photos and preserve your memories? Mom

The best thing about a Canvas on Demand gift is that it is perfect for any special occasion—wedding, birthday, new baby, graduation, or any other significant accomplishment. I friend of mine recently said that she doesn’t even consider any other gift! After all, what better way to keep a precious memory alive than an heirloom canvas?
Snehal gave this canvas as a wedding gift to her cousin. “I wanted to give them a unique gift and came across Canvas on Demand. My cousin loved the surprise! The service was excellent. The service reps were incredibly helpful.”
I was especially taken with this testimonial and canvas that we created for Dave and Dorie for their 18th wedding anniversary. He explained: “This was a VERY special night for us. Our 18th wedding anniversary in our favorite place on earth–Epcot Center in Disney World, as the park was closing. We had the “day of our lives” in the parks (including parasailing to 650 feet, wonderful food around the world, and fireworks to make the night perfectly complete. We celebrated our love and commitment in the place where that love originally blossomed, Disney World in Orlando, Florida. We really wanted this picture to be as special as the night it was taken. We were both skeptical about the pixel-painting but went ahead as planned. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY at the result–WE LOVE IT!!!! It now hangs in our Great Room and is our pride and joy. THANK YOU SO MUCH! Your service is wonderful.”
An Anniversary Memory
Now it would be hard to top the joy of this next canvas that we made of triplets, Cam, Jordan and Keith. “When I saw the website I wasn’t so sure that the finished product was going to be as good you made it seem. Well in a way, I was right. It was so much better!!! I actually had this same photo enlarged for my husband’s birthday last year and it came out awful. I figured I would give you guys a shot, and I am so glad I did! The canvas came out beautiful!! I almost cried when I saw it. Thank you so much for doing a great job.”
Surely an heirloom-to-be!
Amiee wanted a way to always remember her son’s graduation. “This photo was taken at my son’s high school graduation. I loved this picture of both my kids, because they’re both smiling and really reflecting the excitement of that evening! I obviously didn’t need to see the hundreds of other people in the back ground, so I loved the Canvas On Demand feature of blurring out the background! I will definitely continue to use Canvas On Demand for these types of photo projects!”
So, do you have a special event on the horizon? Do you want to tell someone how much you appreciate them this coming Thanksgiving? Or are you simply in the market for a gift that will become a family heirloom? The solution is easy. Simply upload that favorite photo and let us get the job done for you! Mom
A Moment to Remember
