In my next life I'm coming back as a photographer. Unfortunately, right now I only dabble. But with digital dark rooms and companies like Canvas on Demand, turning my amateur snapshot into a professional work of art is easier than ever. Canvas on Demand is a simple way to upload one of your favorite photos, and 4-5 days later have a unique canvas ready to hang on your wall. What a great way to personalize your space and preserve that "kodak moment."
I was impressed with how fast my canvas arrived, and the quality of the finished product. The canvas comes stretched and ready to hang (we like the gallery wrap the best), and was packaged in it's very own customized container. The website is very user friendly as well.
There are other companies who offer similar services, but Canvas on Demand seems to have the largest selection of sizes, and offers a wide variety of options like image retouching, colorizing, and photo-splitting. Their website even offers services like background replacing if you don't want to show the stack of dirty dishes that also happens to be in the photo.
All canvases are finished with a UV protector so they're supposed to last a lifetime. And this same finish also allows you to hang the canvas in areas that receive a lot of moisture like a bathroom or kitchen. You can see examples of what other people have done with their photos by clicking here.

So beautiful! LOVE IT!
What a great idea!
I too would come back as a photographer. I would love this!
Wow, what a neat concept. I would love this. I have just the picture for a christmas gift.
This is perfect! I have been looking at other websites for this exact thing. I have 2 pictures I want to put on canvas, one of a lightening storm I took while in Seattle and the other photo is of our family (of course).!!!
This is so awesome! It would be hard to pick just one photo - so I'd probably end up ordering some too! I'd love to bring some color in my room, maybe do a cherry blossom pic from the spring....
Wow! How fun! I would want to make one of one of our wedding pictures or of the picture my friend took of us under an umbrella in Central Park!

What a great giveaway! I would love to have a canvas of my son!
At least I can FEEL like a professional with one of these hanging on my wall!
Who wouldn't want to win? This giveaway is awesome! I need to go check out their website.
I have been looking at something like this for a while now... I am just starting to get into photography and would love to have some pictures I have taken of my daughter put on canvas. I love how stuff like this is available to the mainstream public now!
What a nice idea to preserve a moment in time. I'd like to use one of my wedding photos and then buy some with our kids pretty little faces! Thanks for the idea.
I would put pics of the fam, or just a picture of a pretty flower I took.
I love this! Of course, I would do one of our wedding photos, and then I'd probably end up ordering more of our son!
I would pick a picture of my two children together..a new joy in my life. I think we're all photographers at heart, especially with the priceless moments in our daily lives.
I love this! If I think to long about which picture I would use I won't be able to decide so I think I will go with this great Lighthouse picture I took when I was in Ohio. It would look INCREDIBLE!
Hmmm...I think I would have to go with one of my beach photos for my husband's sake.
I would use a photo with my 2 kids in it!
I would love this. Count me in!
Those are so pretty!
I love them!
I would love a picture of my husband and my three kids on a canvas, so adorable!

This is wonderful! The problem would be picking which photo to start with! It would be one of my kids together, that much I know.

I would have to use a picture of my little boy! I would love this!
So many of my snapshots ran through my head as I read through this post. Would be a great way to get something on my walls!
I would choose a picture of my two kids. What a great giveaway!
Now this is sweet. I would most likely do a picture with my boys together...or maybe even one of our wedding pictures.
I would definately choose a landscape picture--Central Park or the Carribean
Too cool. I have an awesome black and white of my son tying his shoe on an empty basketball court that would look great on a canvas!
Those are awesome! I would love to put our famliy picture on one. (Since we haven't printed one off since our new baby was born.)
Amazing! Would love this!
I love the idea. I would love to put a family picture on canvas, especially one with some beautiful scenery behind us.
me me me
Very neat. We just had outdoor family pictures done that would look great.
I have always wanted one of those. I think that would make the perfect Christmas gift.
Love this idea! I would frame a great picture of my one year old stuffing his face with birthday cake.
those are so cool! My recent family pictures would become a work of art!!
What a fabulous idea! I have a great picture of Drew at the beach that would be fun as a canvas. This is a great gift idea, too:)
I love this! I would put a picture I took of our new baby and his dad. So sweet. I love photography, and have millions of pictures, it would be great to be able to display one in this unique way!
Thanks- Megan Tanner
I love it! I think I will use a picture of our new baby girl that will be coming soon....probably in black and white!
looks really cool. will give it a try.
I would use a photo of my daughter! I would looooove this!
Oh my gosh, I too dabble in photographym, and if my husband ever gets out of college and we pay all our student loans back maybe I'll be able to wade in a little deeper! I would absolutely love to turn one of my pictures into a beautiful canvas!
I have never seen this and I LOVE it. Want it bad
Oh how wonderful for people like me who can't get it together to frame family photos and desperately need something nice on the bare walls!
I also would use a pic of my girls I already know what one to use. It would make a great gift for my husband! He could put it in his office to brighten the place up. But what are the chances of me winning 2 weeks in a row? Thank you for these wonderful giveaways!
Oh, wow. That looks amazing! I'd be tempted to use the family picture on our blog. Or, better yet, to get new family pictures taken for the occasion!
This is such a great idea, and I love all the different options they offer. I need to hang something in my son's room, and it would be fun to take a picture of the family dog and use their "pop art" tool to make the colors bright and exciting.
I've been looking for something like this, to hang in my playroom of my kids. love it
I got your website from a friend in Utah. You're amazing. So many great ideas. Thank you
I don't know which picture yet but it would have to be one with the grandkids! What a great giveaway!
I would use a picture of my kids to have as a keepsake!
I have a picture of my three kids being silly. I would love it on a canvas.
wow! what a great prize! i would use it for a pic from my wedding since we recentlyish got married and a canvas pic would be awesome!
I have no idea which picture I would use - I just know I love the idea of such a unique print technique on my very bare walls.
I would use a picture or our family at the beach
I would love to have a canvas done of my little boy.
My daughter riding

Being a photographer it would be nice to see one of my photo's mounted on canvas.
I would use a picture of our two children. Thanks for the contest.

That is so neat! I didn't know anyone was doing that. I would love to turn one of my photos into a canvas.
I have a very candid photo of my daughter taken on vacation a few weeks ago. I keep thinking I should have it enlarged but this would be the perfect way to showcase her picture. I love the picture because it truly shows her personality. This is not easy in a single photo. Thank you for finding such a unique product.
I would definitely use a photo of my 6 year old daughter and her newborn sister. To me, it would be a very special canvas that I would forever treasure. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win!

I would pick a family photo of us standing in front of a beautiful lake and mountain from Alaska in the background.

great pictures
This is wonderful. I think I would get a canvas of my Grandsons and dogs.
What an awesome idea. I would use the photo take of my husband, myself and our BFF Robin which was taken on our vacation in Aruba last year. Then I would wrap it up and give it to her for Christmas. What a great memory.
I'd definitely want to turn one of our furrybaby photos into a black and white canvas - it's just a matter of which one? It's impossible to get them all to sit together :(
It is really cool what they have done to the photos. I think I would use on of my vacation pictures.
I just lost my 14 year old dachshund, my friend Randy. I recently found a bunch of picture of him and would love to have a canvas on demand of him! Thank you for the chance to win-Good luck everyone, Jeff

I'd use a picture of LoLo my 2 year old boston terrier/daschund since she's so cute!
I would love to get a big family picture on canvas!
this is beautiful what a unique gift to give to a loved one
Do I have any pictures good enough to use on this great canvas? I will have to go out and take some of us while the leaves are all turning!
Wow! This is awesome. I have a gorgeous close-up of my two boys with their big blue eyes that I would use. :)
PLEASE COUNT ME IN ON THIS AWESOME GIVEAWAY :)
Nice! I think I'd probably use a close-up of my daughter with her red hair shining. :-) Thanks so much.
I would use the photo of my husband in the snow.
Wow ,making my pictures look like a million bucks. Its beautiful,count me in
What a cute idea! I would do one of our wedding pictures or maybe a picture of our little boy playing in the grass!
