When was the last time you printed out a photo and hung it up?
Still thinking?
Ya, I gotcha!
To be honest, as much as I love taking photos, I am the worst for actually printing and hanging them. In fact, the last time I printed a photo was for this:
I suppose it is merely the digital age that we live in but it seems so passé to even consider printing out our photos. And yet, having photos on display is one of the things that gives me immense joy each and every day. I love seeing those happy memories in full view – the ones that make you smile each time you see them.
For me, one of those pictures is this selfie (shocker!) that my family took while we were our on a boat during a week that we rented a cottage this summer.
I don’t know that the picture itself is particularly amazing, but the memories that it brings back are absolute perfection. A week of sun and sand, boating on the water, swimming off the dock, bonfires & marshmallows. It was a week of connectivity and togetherness that really made an otherwise boring summer something to remember fondly – one of those family times that made us all a little more connected.
I knew I wanted to print out this memory but, again more honesty, the chances of me running out to the store to print it, finding the perfect frame and getting it up on the wall are pretty slim. And so I just tucked it away digitally…until I heard of Canvas Factory.
Here’s what I love [and truthfully exactly what I need if I am ever going to print out my photos!]:
1) Canvas Factory allows you to choose your digital photos for printing SO EASILY (you can even choose from Facebook or Instagram… that’s such a bonus for this social photo sharing mama!)
2) I was able to order my canvas ONLINE with a few clicks of my mouse. REALLY. It was so easy!
3) It comes ready to hang. I don’t have to search for a frame that’s the right size.
4) The canvas is such high quality. It is wrapped beautifully and the colour quality is perfection.

| Perfectly wrapped – no corners sticking out or distracting from the awesomeness of this photo! |
 |
| Easy to hang! I promise… I did it MYSELF (and that never happens at my house!) |
5) Your photo gets delivered right to your HOME! YOUR HOME! I was in yoga pants and a bun when it was delivered, people. That is exactly what I’m talking about.
So, in reality, it takes the excuses out of not printing your photos because Canvas Factory has made it so uber-easy to get your precious memories wall-worthy in just a few clicks of a button. AND they have built-in filters and options that make this selfie-queen’s heart sing!!
Now my precious cottage memory now hangs proudly in my upstairs hallway, right between my kids’ bedrooms. A space that has been vacant of anything for the entire 6 years we have lived in our home!
I get to pass it multiple times each day and each time it puts a smile on my face [and it puts a smile of the faces of my boys as well]. I am not sure what took me so long, but I’m so, so, so glad I finally got around to not just printing but also hanging our family photos!
And now I want the same for you!
Thanks to Canvas Factory, one lucky winner [Canada & US only] will be getting their own Canvas Factory print to proudly display in their home. Let’s get printing and displaying those memories!!!
I know you will love your Canvas Factory print – and cherish those memories everytime you look at them – just as much as I do.

I had family pictures taken in July. I printed them as soon as I received the CD. If not, it's a forgotten task.
almost never

I last printed photos in July or August of this year.
The last canvas I printed was a gift for my mother last Christmas. It's almost time to make more 🙂
Been about two years. I had one printed of my two boys!
2010! I know that's so bad!
It was about a year ago, when we moved into our new house.
I can't even remember…probably 2 years at least!
I can't even remember…probably 2 years at least!

This past summer.
It's been so long, I can't even remember!
last year at Christmas…but there are so many more cherished moments!
Did a phot a couple of years ago as a gift for family.
About six months ago now
The kids have moved away and I have a great digital photo of them I'd like to hang on the wall. This way, I can enjoy their faces without turning to the PC! The latest print photo is from the mall Santa and that was 4 years ago.
The last cherished picture I hung up was 4 years ago! It was a picture taken at my brother's wedding.
I just did so with a photo from my recent bridal shower.
It's been a really long time! All of our photos are old pictures now so this would be a good start to updating our walls!
Two months ago. A picture of our town bridge. Love it.

Two years ago I did got a winter scene of my children printed & it hangs in my living room.
a year ago of my dog
A family pic from last Christmas.
I haven't printed or even hung a photo in over a year. Sad, I know. I definitely need to get going on that!
A few months ago I hung a picture of my 2 daughters.
We printed some wedding photos and hung them up about a year ago.
The last time I printed and framed a photo would be a few months ago. It's a family photo at my brother's wedding.
I printed my vacation photos last summer
I printed a photo from my wedding – a candid shot of my dad smiling as he hugged my mom. He passed away shortly after, suddenly and unexpectedly. I gave this canvas to my mom for her birthday. I just had a baby, and would love to have a big grinning photo of her to give my mom for Christmas!
Geez…about 15 years ago
This past summer, a photo of my husband and I on vacation. (eryn_54@hotmail.com)
probably 2 years ago – a gift for my mom for her birthday!
I have never done it
About 7 months ago after my wedding
I have started framing and hanging things. It took me a long time to get from someday maybe to actually doing it. Last week. I am on a roll and hope to continue. The key is to get 'easy' hangers for the pictures–that saves a lot of the heart ache.
too long ago (around 2 yrs!)
It definitely has been quite a while actually! My mother in law was the last one to print photos and get them framed for us and that was 8 months ago
maybe 3 years ago
It's probably been about a year
I don't think I've printed a photo in almost seven years myself…and those were poor quality ones at Walmart!
It's been so long ago that I can't even remember. It's been years.
four years ago i would love one my son got married this summer this would be perfect
It was a long time ago but I would love to get a family picture, especially since I now have a Grandbaby!!
Hmmm… I had a picture printed and framed last year, but it was a gift! For myself, I haven't done that for 4-5 years.
I haven't printed pictures in over a year. There are so many I would like to hang up including all of our Disney trip photos
about 4 years ago when my mom died
I prinetd and hung a few photos in the early spring.
hope I win I could put up some of my pictures
I did one of my children about 3 years ago. Way too long.
I printed and hung a photo at least a year ago.
Yesterday.A new picture of my grandchild.
It's been a while since I've printed and hung a picture. I take plenty and always mean to get around to it but life usually happens.
I printed one last year for a gift
It was 2 years ago that I printed and hung a cherished photo.
I am guessing it was about 2 years ago that I last did anything with a photo…oops, I think that is a little too long! (Judy Cowan)
Oh my! My answer would have to be never. It's something I have been meaning to do ever since my wedding 4 months ago.
I have never printed and hung a photo. Oh I have lots of ideas and things I'd love to have displayed; just never have taken the time to try it.
I printed out a bunch of photos last year I only hung a few. Lost a bunch of photos this year to when hard drive a failed.
Every january I put up new photos!

I has honestly been a few years now. I have so many pictures that I need to get printed but just haven't gotten around to it.
