Make A Meaningful Collage By Putting Those Special Photos on Canvas
September 24, 2009
When you’re celebrating a special occasion and want to give a really meaningful gift it’s great to know that you can turn to your photo files for inspiration. There is no more personal gift than one made using special photos of people dear to you. When you can’t decide on just one photo to print, a brilliant solution is to create a photo collage by putting a whole collection of special photos on to canvas.
When you have more than one child it can be hard to get a great photo of them all looking at their best at the same time. There is always one who blinks or pulls a face or looks around, just at the moment you press the shutter release. With the collage option you can select a series of individual portraits of each of them and have them all printed onto a canvas together. You can include picture of yourselves too and even the family pet, so that you have your whole family captured in one canvas print as a wonderful Christmas gift for the grandparents.
Another fun way to use a collage canvas print is to select a series of photos of your child showing them grow from baby to toddler to school age. It makes a wonderful record and another great way of displaying your favorite photos of them.
When you have a special family get-together for a golden or silver wedding anniversary a wonderful project would be to take portraits of all the family members present, from oldest to youngest and have them printed on to canvas as a collage, to present to the special couple celebrating their anniversary. If there are family members who can’t be there, you can ask them to send a photo of themselves, so they can be included in the collage too. There is something very life affirming at having a photographic reminder of one’s whole family collected together.
Canvas on Demand have four different collage options to choose from. You can include up to 30 photos and choose the style you prefer for backgrounds and borders, and even add some text to your collage. The only difficulty you’ll have is selecting the pictures to include, especially when it comes to picture of your kids. When there are so many gorgeous smiles and cute faces to choose from, it’s hard limiting yourself to just a few. But the lovely thing is that your canvas collage will last for many years, bringing pleasure to the whole family, a lasting reminder of your children’s growing years.
