Review & Giveaway: Canvas Press 16x20 Photo Canvas (now closed)

When I was contacted by Canvas Press to review one of their photo canvases, I was excited, but skeptical. I had ordered canvases from other companies in the past and was deeply disappointed with the quality and coloring. I ordered my 16x20 gallery wrapped family portrait canvas online (which was a snap BTW) and hoped for the best.



From the minute I started opening the package, I knew this experience was going to be far more positive! The canvas was so carefully packed to keep everything intact and perfect.

I was astonished at how beautiful it looked! The colors were vibrant and true to the picture and the quality of the canvas was right on point. It was mounted on a quality wood frame that was built to last. I love that it was made right here in the USA!




I hung the canvas on the stairway in my entry way so all those entering will be able to see it. I am so very pleased with the look, but also with the ease and speed of ordering. I truly could not have asked for more.



*edit: My family picture was taken by Brett from Photo Studio B.
He does an amazing job and makes the shoot so much fun!


Here's the best part. I am so thrilled that Canvas Press is giving away a 16x20 gallery wrap photo canvas (including shipping, a $115 value) to one of my lucky readers!

To enter: (Please leave a separate comment for each entry with an email address!!)

  • Leave a comment on this post telling me what photo you would choose to print on the canvas.

For extra entries:
Good Luck! This giveaway will close Thursday, April 15th.

Also, Canvas Press is offering a discount to all Tipsy readers. Enter code mamasays15 for 15% off! And if you want to let them know I sent you, use referral code BARN2690 (I get a small referral fee for anyone who uses it when they order and I could use a new pair of shoes)!

Disclosure: Canvas Press supplied the canvas for me to review and is also supplying the canvas to give away. I was in no other way compensated for this review.
