Be My Valentine

Wednesday, February 13th, 2013

Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Valentine, better known as Valentine’s Day.  It is marked by cards, flowers, gifts, candy, candlelight dinners…and yes, canvases!  Our team at Canvas on Demand was very busy the last month getting those special Valentine canvases made.  What a wonderful and personal gift many will receive tomorrow.  I picked a few canvases that commemorate LOVE—from traditional images, to brotherly/sisterly affection to symbols of love to proverbial puppy love.

Ragina’s photo turned out marvelously.

Aaryn, who often orders canvases for her customers, finally placed an order for herself, and how precious it is.  

 

I simply loved the simplicity of these rings, forever a symbol of love! 

But my final canvas about love is one we made for Jane.  She told us:  We lost our two pets this last year and I wanted a big photo to remember them by. Our house was broken into and computers were taken–and so were pictures from the last 3 years (my fault for not backing them up). So this photo was the only decent one that I had with both the dogs in it (ages 13 and 17 when they died). We just love it.  Canvas on Demand worked with me and we had excellent communication–both by phone and emails. Because the pixel count of my photo was not what was needed for a clear picture, they made it smaller and it is perfect. I would not hesitate recommending this wonderful company to anyone.  We are so pleased!

Tomorrow, go ask someone special to be your valentine!  Mom

Love is in the Air…BUT Think Ahead!

Thursday, January 24th, 2013

NOW is actually the time to think Valentine’s Day, which is only 3 weeks away. If you’re looking for a gift that is personal, intimate, and captures some very special moment, a canvas from Canvas on Demand will be the perfect idea. The steps are easy: select the photo, upload it, and then wait for it to arrive in the mail. Easy, fast, and a gift that will be cherished for years! I selected a few canvases to illustrate that love comes in all ages, all sizes, and all occasions.

Catherine asked us to create several loving art canvas of her two children. She said, “It was simple and gave me lots of options. Three of them arrived yesterday and brought me to tears. They are stunning.”

This couple is walking off into their future in Darlene’s wedding photo. “This is one of our most favorites. Everyone always comments on it and says how much they love it. We didn’t pose for it; we were just walking back from the gardens and the photographer snapped this picture. The service was very quick!”

And this last one which Jeanne ordered really touched my heart. They were celebrating 60 years of marriage!  Her story was delightful: “This photo was taken to commemorate 60 years of marriage. Our primary aim was to have a photo for the anniversary section of the newspaper. We thought the photo was good enough to have quality copies made for our two fine daughters. I am not physically able to shop…. so I decided to take a chance on a company I knew nothing about. Scary! Personal emails from your customer service department were reassuring. I got good suggestions for the frame, and I asked Chris, our customer rep, to treat my order as if I were his favorite grandmother. And did I ever get wonderful, fast service!  The 8×10 canvases in walnut frames are beautiful…and I am most satisfied with all the aspects of this shopping trip.”

So in a short time, you will be able to demonstrate your love on Valentine’s Day…but it may take a little advanced planning. Don’t put it off. After all, your loved one deserves the best! Mom

Love Stories on Canvas

Saturday, January 22nd, 2011

One of my favorite pastimes is looking at the canvases that our customers order.  Because I’m planning on giving a canvas away as a Valentine gift, I’ve really been tuned in to orders that seem to say: I love you!

Joanne has ordered several canvases from Canvas on Demand, but this one is my favorite!  It’s of her little bundle of love, Kendall.  She tells us that this canvas hangs on her bedroom wall and causes her to wake up every  morning with a smile. I understand, Joanne.  I haven’t stopped smiling since I first saw it!

Another customer, Christy, asked us to create this canvas of a little girl named Peyton.  Now what a lovely Valentine that young lady is!  I can only image how many folks in her family would love one of those.

Does anything say LOVE better than a wedding? I don’t know if this was actually a Valentine wedding, but the image has love written all over it.  The bride’s father, Don, ordered it and was very pleased: I just want to say that we love that canvas. We appreciate you providing your expertise on size and finish. This is the second canvas we had created from the same wedding set.  And we made sure to let others know about you. Thank you!  Don

If your favorite Valentine has four legs, you’ll love this one belonging to a  customer named Teddi.  This was our beautiful, gentle therapy dog, Skye.  She will be forever missed…but is wonderfully immortalized on our canvas.

Now that’s a love story!

Order a Valentine canvas today for someone you love.  Richard Bach said that true love stories never have endings. At Canvas on Demand, we say that true love stories never have endings when they are created on canvas.  Mom

Never Too Many Kisses!

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Some time ago, I posted an article about kisses.  Since then, I keep coming across more and more canvases we are making for our customers that have to do with KISSES.  Lots of you enjoy giving canvases away for Valentine’s Day, so I just couldn’t resist sharing a few more of these with you.

Amna told us about the the canvas to the left of her and her boyfriend.  “ One thing that he does all the time is kiss me on my forehead and I love it. The moment was captured, and I thought what better gift.  The final canvas was just beautiful, and everyone I have shown has been amazed. I am definitely going to recommend this website to all my friends.”

I think this canvas to the right tenderly says I LOVE YOU.  It’s of a mom, Sonia, and her young daughter. “I started using Canvas on Demand a few years ago. I’ve submitted a series of photos of my daughter and I over the years. People who visit me and see them on my walls say they look so beautiful–like true works of art. I am always so pleased with the results, and they are keepsakes I will have forever.  Excellent service. I am never disappointed.”

I always appreciate the off-beat.  Consequently, one of my favorite “Kisses Canvases” is the one below.  Our customer, Cheryl, from Albuquerque explains:  “This photo was taken at Sea World this summer where I was able to meet the beautiful beluga whales. The whale in the photo is Ferdinand.  He is awesome!  Canvas on Demand is absolutely fantastic.  The quality service and everything about them and the work they do is awesome. This was my second order and I couldn’t be happier.”


With Valentine Day about a month away, it’s time to think Canvases for the ones you love most.  Mom

A Valentine Gift that Really is Forever!

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Valentine HeartCanvas on Demand wants to help you say, I  LOVE   YOU! this Valentine’s Day in the most special way!    While words are important, remember that a picture is worth a thousand of them!   So this February 14th, give them the gift they’ll always remember,a personalized art canvas of an image that’s special to both of you.   It’s the gift that will remind them every day of your love.   Flowers will soon wilt; candy will soon be gone, but that image of your love will last for a lifetime!  

And of course, say the right thing too!   Here are a few of our favorite Valentine’s Day quotes to help you out:

 If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you’ve made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand.(Unknown)  

 I love you so much that I can’t sleep, because now that you are in my life, reality is better than my dreams.   (Adapted from Dr Seuss)

The best thing about me is you.   (Shannon Crown)

Have a passionately memorable Valentine’s Day!   Say all the right things…but don’t forget the canvas!   Mom
