BEST OF 2008: Photofiddle

By

PhotofiddleHome decorating is not my strongest suit. I do manage (with the help of my husband) to maintain a tidy and warm home, but the decor isn’t spectacular by any stretch of the imagination. It’s rather simple and clean-looking with a western flair.

That said, I do have two favorite pieces of art…both are hanging in my daughter’s room. The two professional-quality canvases feature a beautiful little girl with a clear blue eyes, long lashes, and the sweetest little lips…our daughter {pictured}.

img_1684Both canvases are from Photofiddle.com, a company that allows you to “transform your photos into professionally framed art.” Just upload your photo, pick your design, choose your size…and the artwork will ship in days. It’s really a wonderful concept.

I already have another piece on my “wish list” for after baby #2 arrives. I’m hoping to have a family photo taken of the four of us within that first year…and then I’d love to order a GIANT canvas for our dining room. It would be such a fun and lovely way to celebrate our family. I’m saving my pennies…

WIN IT! One winner will receive a 12″ x 18″ or 18″ x 12″ stretched canvas frame from Photofiddle.com (valued at $89.99). To enter, leave a comment on this post prior to Wednesday, December 31 at midnight (don’t forget to follow the rules). * Winner must provide a U.S. mailing address.

  6. I would love an oil painting of my son. I took this really lovely shot when he was outside modeling some clothes we were reviewing and I absolutely adore it because it is this unstaged profile shot

  8. Wow, Photofiddle has some unique choices. The pop art is so much fun! Great for the kids room. Thanks for the chance.

  14. I really love these I think it’s a very neat idea and looks very classy and timeless. I love all the different design options they have also. How cool would it be to have your own popart from your photos?!?
    Thanks for the entry

  20. I’d love to get a family photo of the 5 of us. My littlest is 5 now and I’ve never had a family picture that wasn’t a candid shot. This would be so nice to hang up in the family room!!

  24. This would be great – we don’t even have a family photo -this win would definately make me go out and get one done!

  28. I recently had a photo on canvas and loved it so I can only imagine how great a photo fiddle artwork would be.
    BTW-your rules link is not working ;)

  36. Neat concept! Incidentally, the rules link didn’t work, so hopefully this comment is fine for the entry. Thanks!

  61. I really need some art. I just moved to a large house from a very small house. I have a lot of very bare walls.

  67. I love your idea of the family photo in the dining room. It would be so hard for me to choose which photo to use and where to put it, so many options! It’s a very fun way to display a great picture though, and especially pictures of kids.

  78. Ever since you mentioned this portrait I have just fallen in lave with the style! So goregeous! I can just imiagine a similar picture of my little guy when he used to be little and cuddly. …I’d like to remember those days in living color. Oh, about a 12 by 18 sized memory would be great! ;)

  82. I’ve got the perfect spot for a large piece of art work and would love for that art work to be of my kids :–)

  83. Uh oh, your rules link says “Whoops! That Page Isn’t Here”.

  86. This looks like a great after-Christmas present to myself. I would love to have one of my kids. Looks like so much fun.

  128. Id love to give one to my daughter and son in law. they couldnt afford to buy a real wedding portrait on canvas and these look high quality

  130. I have used Photofiddle in the past, and it is truly fantastic. Easy & fun to use, and the products are of the highest quality. I’d love to be able to get a canvas of my little dog, Zeke.

  131. great contest, great prize. The kids would look great framed like that. And they would be much more quiet.

  136. I was cheated out of a canvas by a certain television shopping network where I sent in my photo, pre-paid and never got my canvas. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this contest is my good karma coming back to me

  141. Those are so cute, and such a great, special, and timeless way to capture those moments forever. I’d love to have one done of our family too!

  146. I love the Photofiddle site and have wished I could afford one of the canvases for a picture of my 2 grandkids.

  148. photofiddle is just amazing. i just couldn’t get over what they are able to do with your photos

  151. I seen this canvas photo art and said “WOW”
    because this would be an awesome thing to make a photo artwork piece of my new niece :o)

  155. What a fantastic idea! I would love to “photofiddle” a photo of my 3 kids together. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  156. We’ve lived in our house for two years, and have yet to put anything on the walls. This would be perfect to capture our 6mo daughter.

  166. My husband is the artist, so hopefully my children will get their artistic genes from him. I’d love to surprise him with a wall of his photography, and the gallery canvas look would be perfect!

  167. This would be wonderful. I have 3 grandchildren with 1 on the way. Please count me in. Thanks & Happy Holidays!!

  168. We have a 16×20 of the boys when they were 6 months and 4 years old. I was just telling my husband that I wanted to get another made of each of them in their wrestling attire since they both placed 1st in their wrestling tournaments. Super nice giveaway and thanks so much for the opportunity!

  169. This seems like a neat idea. I recently took a photography class to gain some skills in order to take nice pictures of my baby. I haven’t thought about how I might want to display the nice pictures I’ve taken.

  171. Wow, this is a neat prize! I love hanging art up on my walls & this would be a great addition. I’d probably upload a photo of my entire family & hang it above the fireplace.
    Thanks for the contest.

  173. I ordered a canvas from photofiddle after your original review. It was a picture of my husband a and our son. I gave it to him for fathers day. We all love it and a would be THRILLED to have another. I think I would to a family portrait too.
