Pictures on Canvas...

I recently joined a Photo Walk in Downtown Boise, it was specifically tailored to view, photograph and learn about the Historic buildings we have downtown. I have always loved taking photos of flowers and buildings, so one of my favorite shots is a mix of the two. I loved these pretty geranium baskets.


Rather than just print the photo on 8x10 photo paper and framing it, I took advantage of an offer to get one of my Pictures on Canvas from Easy Canvas Prints and had it printed 16" x 20". Ummm, WOW! It can out so crisp and clean, I Love it!!! I ordered it as a Christmas gift, but, I may keep it!!! ;)



I love the feel the canvas texture gives a photo. I am no artist, but this makes me feel like one!! :D

I had the edges done with a continuation of the photo itself, you can choose a solid side, a mirror image of the edge or like mine. You can also choose a 1' 1/2" deep side if you want.


A Huge thanks to Easy Canvas Prints for the great canvas!!!






*I was given a special offer to try out Easy Canvas Prints and give an honest opinion of their product on my blog. My post is a not a result of any pay, my opinion is based on my experience with the company as a whole, from their website, ordering experience and shipping.

Addicted to Notebooks & Journals...

A sound head, an honest heart, and an humble spirit are the three best guides through time and to eternity -Sir Walter Scott
I made something!!! I Created!!!


Anyone who has been in my office or seen my desk drawers Knows that I am a collector of notebooks, paper pads and journals. I asked for a Bind It All a few years ago so I could make my own. Finally today in a desperate attempt to do Something that didn't include clutching my stomach in pain or sleeping I grabbed some supplies and made a few notebooks.

I recently rearranged my bookshelves and found an old copy of a Sir Walter Scott book with a beautiful cover, but very damaged pages. Today I recreated that book to let it keep it's beauty and give it some functionality...

I even saved one of the illustrated pages...

I also used some of the more than 100 coasters I bought Ages ago in a bulk buy with some stamping buddies...

Sorry for the blurry photos, I guess it wasn't just my fuzzy pain med vision. Will take new pics ASAP
