I was really excited when Art.com approached me to do a review of their new service Photos to Art. If there is one thing I love- it’s Photos. I always want things documented and then I love getting the pictures framed and placing them around our apartment. It makes it feel like home. Art.com was kind enough to give me a gift certificate to use to try out the service.

I thought the site was very easy to use. You can upload any pictures you would like and then see how they would look in each of the print choices they have. I am not a huge fan of photos printed on canvas but that is just me. I absolutely LOVE the acrylic option but it is a little pricey. I went with the wood mounted choice. It “permanently bonds images to a 1/4 inch thick piece of stabilized hardboard. The surface is treated to protect against moisture, dust, dirt, fingerprints, and protects against UV comparable to standard glass.” I ordered 2 wood mounted prints. One 16″x24 and one 11″x14″. They arrived very quickly and were protectively shipped. I was so excited to open them up. I LOVE them!!! They came out great. I will definitely be using art.com again to get photos turned into wall art. I think it will be a great present idea for future birthdays and mothers (grandmothers) day.

Anyways. Art.com would like to offer a $50 gift code to one lucky reader to use to create their own photos to art print. All you need to do is head over to Art.com, check things out and leave a comment letting us know what print choice is your favorite (wood mounting, canvas, acrylic, etc.). Any ideas of what you want printed? We’d love to hear in your comment as well!

The giveaway will run from now until next Monday. Winner will be randomly chosen and emailed Monday evening.
Good Luck!

    Love the acrylic! You’re right, it’s pricey but what a unique way to display your photos. It may be worth getting for my little baby girl’s newborn pictures!

    I have some great photos from traveling abroad that I’d love to frame and hang in my apartment.

  19. chelle

    01.25.11

    My favorite print options would be either wood or acrylic. I would have a family photo or a print of my boys made if I won.

  20. Maria

    01.25.11

    I am torn between the wood and the canvas.
    I have a TON of pics I would love to hang!!!!

  23. Carolyn

    01.25.11

    Oh, I like the wood. We had some professional pictures taken in November and I would love to get one of those framed!

  24. MCC

    01.25.11

  25. Leslie

    I recently got married, and I’d love to have one of my wedding prints on the canvas option!

  26. Allison K.

    01.25.11

    I love the way canvas wraps look! My husband and I had some engagement style pictures taken this past summer, and I would love to do one in a wrap style.

  27. Kelly

    01.25.11

    Honestly, I like a lot of them, but the wood ones are just spectacular – fingers crossed!!!

  28. Nicole

    01.25.11

    I love the wood, it has the feel of cabin life which I adore. I would put up one of the pictures from my families trip to Italy a few years ago – they make me happy every time.

  29. Alison

    01.25.11

    I have been searching for a place that does photo to wood prints! Love this!!!

  30. your wood mounted prints are so pretty…so I think I’d go with that! I’m not sure the photo I’d choose…maybe one of my sis and her fiance since they are getting married in a couple months? It would probably make a pretty sweet wedding gift!

  31. Sara

    01.25.11

    Neato! I love canvas printed photos, I’ve been dying for some myself. I’d get some scenery shots changed over, I have some from Chicago that would be perfect for it :)

  32. Kylie

    01.25.11

    I love this!! I love the photos you chose!

  33. pearl

    01.25.11

  34. Jen R

    01.25.11

    I just adore the look of the wood mounting!

  35. Bethany G.

    01.25.11

    I’ve always wanted to see one of my photos on canvas. As a photographer, I think I’d have an incredibly hard time choosing. It would probably be a shot of some gorgeous flowers, Washington, DC, or birds flying in the sky. Oh, the possibilities! :)

  36. Pilar

    01.25.11

    love this! i really like how the wood mounting looks!

  37. S.

    01.25.11

    I loooove how your prints came out! I think I’d have to go with the wood printing also. As for the photo… I’m not too sure. Maybe a scenery/landscape shot from vacation…

  38. Brandy

    01.25.11

    awesome giveaway!
    Love the canvas mounting. I would probably make a picture collage/illustration for the kids room!

  39. Katey

    01.25.11

    I’m a big fan of the wood mounted option as well. It’s clean and simple. After 2 years of being with my love we still don’t have any framed or mounted photographs of us together.

  40. Evelyn

    01.25.11

    It seems the wood mounted takes the cake, and I love how yours look. I think I would go that route too and get a picture of my dog in a bowtie mounted. Hes adorable when you can get him to sit still long enough to take a picture!

  41. Jen

    01.25.11

    fun! I would agree on the wood mounted – looks nice and clean and crisp! thanks! I’ll be crossing my fingers! (and toes..and arms..and legs..)

  42. Jenn

    01.25.11

    I’m liking the wood mounted option. Would be a great valentines day gift!

  43. Christine Owens

    01.25.11

    I agree with you about the canvas prints, not my favorite. But the wood looks awesome! That is definitely what I would do if I win the $50!

  44. katie

    01.25.11

    i love the acrylic! i would get a picture of my boyfriend and i from two christmases ago. it’s a perfect picture and i’ve been trying to think of a perfect way to display it. :)

  45. Anne

    01.25.11

    I’ve been wanting to do a canvas print for a while for my art wall!

  46. Rachel

    01.25.11

    I would definitely go the wood mounting route. It is not something that many other sites offer.

  47. sarah

    01.25.11

    love the wood mount, i love your photos!!

  48. Megan R

    01.25.11

    Thanks for the giveaway. I like the Canvas.

  49. Megan

    01.25.11

    I love the photos you chose to turn into prints! They are both such precious moments and they came out so well. I think you were right to go with the wood mounting, its so clean and classic. I would definitely choose the wood mounting for a print. I love this giveaway!

  50. Margaret

    01.25.11

    Wow, your pictures turned out great! The black & white is really nice on that wood mounting. After visiting the site, I think I would go with the wood mounting… I like it because it looks simple and classic. My husband and I have been wanting to get a really large print of a waterlily photo we took on a trip once to put up in our bedroom! That’s what I would do if I won.

  51. Jennifer

    01.25.11

    Ohh I love the wood mounted! I have no idea what I would get printed though – maybe a photo of my new baby niece.

  52. Abby

    01.25.11

    I’d love to send one of these printed on canvas to my mom. She just decided to repaint her hallways and it’s be great to give her something to hang up on her new walls!!

  53. erin m.

    01.25.11

    That is awesome! I love the acrylic, or after seeing your two photos, the wood mounting looks great too!

  54. Megan

    01.25.11

    You’re right, the acrylic is gorgeous, but I I do also really like the canvas and wood options. It’s hard to decide which I like better. I’d probably do something black and white and put it in the room where all our books are. This is a great giveaway!

  55. Tara

    01.25.11

    Love the framed canvas!

  56. Julie

    01.25.11

    I love art.com. This is awesome! I’d love to have a family photo done! It’s been a rough year and I’m so appreciative of my husband and pets.

  57. kat

    01.25.11

    I think wood mounting for photos looks awesome – I would love some prints of my new baby!

  58. Megg

    01.25.11

    Wow those turned out amazing! Very beautiful. I adore the acrylic print but I think the wood mounting is a really cool idea. I’d love to get this one picture of me and my son Oliver, 1 hour after he was born. He looks so beautiful in it and it’d be a great memory to have mounted as art! : )

  59. Laura

    01.25.11

    I love the wood mounting and I have the perfect classic wedding picture of my husband and I walking out of the church that would look just lovely!

  60. chelsea

    01.25.11

    i love the wood option, this would (no pun intended) be great for a bunch of great shots I took in Ireland over the summer!

  61. natalie

    01.25.11

    i love the canvas option…..definitely a picture of my little man

  62. logan

    01.25.11

    I would totally get the wood mounted print. I love that style and it holds up well. We had our baby boy in April and I would love to get a nice print to hang on our walls.

  63. Juli-uh

    01.25.11

    I have so many of my own photographs framed…and let’s be serious, it is an annoyingly time consuming process to do it myself and do it correctly. But custom framing is so expensive!

    I would pick the classic frame for more of my own photos. You can see them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/julia_d/

    Thanks for the opportunity!!

  64. Breenah

    01.25.11

    I think I like the wood mounting best. I would love to be able to get a picture of our baby (once s/he comes in August) printed out.

  65. Kate

    01.25.11

    neat idea. i like the wood mounting.

  66. Jenny

    01.25.11

  68. Lindsey

    01.25.11

    I’m with you on this one – I think the wood mounted looks like a great option. I would use it to mount a photo of my new little nephew!!

  69. Cami

    01.25.11

    I love the wood option! I think I would do one of our wedding photos. Love!!

  70. Emily

    01.25.11

    I love the wood mounting, it looks so good!

  71. Sarah

    01.25.11

    I like the option you chose, the wood mounting! My boy is moving to Chicago for a year and I’d love to send him some great art to keep his place cozy while he’s away :)

  72. lindsay

    01.25.11

    I love the canvas print.
    My boyfriend’s brother is an amazing photographer and there’s a photo of his i would LOVE to hang over our bed.

  73. angela

    01.25.11

    Honestly, I don’t have a favorite. I love them all for different reasons and I have different pictures in mind for each print style….is that bad?

  74. sarah r.

    01.25.11

    i would choose wood mounting- so awesome!!

  75. samantha

    01.25.11

    oh, i definitely need a picture for my mantel. thanks for posting about this site.

  76. Emily

    01.25.11

  77. Danae

    01.25.11

    I love the wood mounted options!

  78. Lindsey

    01.25.11

    Oooh!! What a great offer. I’ve been on the lookout for a good place to get some photos from Russia printed on (sorry, Jen:) canvas as souvenirs for family. I just absolutely love the look!

  79. Chelsey

    01.25.11

    Definitely the wood mounted, I am not a fan of photos on canvas either! I would probably pick a picture of my family, my cat or a landscape! all would be gorgeous.

    I love this giveaway idea, and this shop! I work at a photography studio and it is SO expensive to get photos on canvas or even just on gator board. This shop is a much more affordable option!

  80. Anna

    01.25.11

    I would love love love a large, beautiful canvas to show off a favorite wedding picture. My first anniversary comes up in May, but my husband deploys this month, so I won’t get to share it with him. This would be a nice anniversary present to myself.
    : P

  81. Kristin

    01.25.11

    I really like the wood mounted option! Not sure what I would choose to print, but this would come in handy when I move into my new apartment in a few weeks!

  82. Chelseabird

    01.25.11

    The wood mounting is my favorite!

    I would pick out a photo of my boyfriend and I since we don’t have many photos framed.

  83. Jeanna

    01.26.11

    Ooh, I’d love to win this! I have some photos from our trip to Scotland last year that I’d love to put on canvas!

  84. Jada

    01.26.11

    Your photos came out great! :) I agree, the wood mounting is my favorite.

  85. Jay

    01.26.11

    I like all the options, but perhaps the wood mounted and canvas the best.

    Great ideas!

  86. Nicole

    01.26.11

    I love the wood mounting, although the acrylic looks really cool too!

    Truth be told, we don’t have a single picture of us up. We’ve been together 10 years, married for 4, but have never gotten past hanging just art and mirrors.

    One day.

  87. Ericka

    01.26.11

    Wow, that would be lovely!

  88. bargain bex

    01.26.11

    i’m kind of all about the canvas.
    and since i’m single right now (the only ‘male’ companion i have being my laptop, chuck, who is obediently attached to my hip) and spend most of my days blogging, i’d love to blow up a black and white picture of myself that i have taken while practicing being my own site’s sole photographer. selfish? maybe a little, but hey, i AM single, right? ;)

  89. Kelsey

    01.26.11

    I really like the canvas! My housemates and I foster cats for my local animal rescue, and I’d love to wall-mount a photo of my very first foster cat. The nice canvas version would replace the cheaply framed photo I have hanging there. :)

  90. kim

    01.26.11

    I’ve been meaning to get some of my travel pictures printed on canvas for a while. I hadn’t seen the wood mounting options yet, but I think I like those even better.

  91. Jenny

    01.26.11

    I would love to try the acrylic mounting for a very modern and bright photo!

  92. Alicia

    01.26.11

    I’m surprised that the wood mounting turned out so crisp. The look beautiful! I’ve always wanted a few pretty large canvas prints of my kids for our living room or possible up our staircase… or my studio… Okay, I can’t decide!! But I’d go with canvas. :-)

  93. Catherine

    01.26.11

    I like the wood option that you chose. I have a few posters mounted that way, and it’s a great way to mix things up, so not everything in the house is framed too similarly. It really highlights the art/photos themselves. I would love to get a few photos the beach near my parents house in New Jersey and Ithaca (where I went to college) – I moved to Canada a couple years ago, and while I love it here, some reminders of home are always good.

  94. Lauren

    01.26.11

    Those look wonderful! I’d love to get a print or two

  95. Kelly

    01.26.11

    I love wood mounting. Some of my favorite pics of all time are wood mounted!

  96. Karolina

    01.26.11

    I LOVE the wood mounting. I should really do this with wedding photos. Still haven’t gotten around to that…oops!

  97. Christie

    01.26.11

    I like the canvas the best. I would love to get some pictures of my son (4 months old) on a canvas print.

  98. Heather

    01.26.11

    I love the wood mounting, too. My boyfriend just got back from Afghanistan so I finally moved in and am helping him become a more hip, stylish home owner. I would probably take my own picture (I love sun sets!) and use that :)

  99. Desiree

    01.26.11

    I really like the wood framing you did! Those photos are precious!

    If I won, I’d love to buy a print of me and my husband on our wedding day, since my mother insisted on keeping all our large prints when I moved out LOL

    01.26.11

    Ohhhh, I love the wood mounting AND the canvas!

  101. Rachel

    01.26.11

    the wood mounting is brilliant! I just got back from a year in the UK and would love to blow up a few of my favorite shots of London.

  102. amanda blair

    01.26.11

    I really like the wood mounting and regular framing!

    This would be perfect bc I’m in the process of decorating my new apartment!!

    I love your pics, they are so sweet.

  103. Janny Manasse

    01.26.11

    we traveled to Amsterdam and snapped some great photos. I would do a picture on canvas to hang in our living room.

  104. Katie Brown

    01.26.11

    Its simple! Wood mounting is the classiest!! Looove it!

  105. Nikki

    01.26.11

    i would go with the wood mounting. i never want to put pictures up on the walls because we have been moving a lot lately (husband is military) but we are finally going to move soon and we are actually going to stay there for a while! sooo, i think i may order something even if i dont win this contest! i have some photos i have taken that i am proud of that i think would be great to have printed…no people in them haha.

  106. Melisa F

    01.26.11

    I love the Canvas!! We need to get a family photo on our walls!

  107. Heather

    01.26.11

    Those wall murals are HOT!
    I have a few pics I would love to see blown up that big…. awesome :)

  108. Kiera

    01.26.11

    Love the wood mounting – would be perfect to print one of our engagement or wedding photos for my husband for v-day!

  109. I would love the wood i think. There’s a few pics I can think of that would work well.

  110. I think I would do the wood mounting. I agree that the acrylic is too expensive. I have gone back and forth about canvas but I think the wood is a great choice!

  111. vika

    01.26.11

    I love canvas. I have an 11 week old and I’d love to blow up one of the photos I took and have it printed on canvas.

  114. Mia

    01.26.11

    Very, very cool! I’m obsessed with the acrylic option!!

  115. Lindsay

    01.26.11

    Like you, I would choose the wood mounted photo. The only photo I have of my little family of 3 that I have up is from almost 4 years ago so I would choose a recent family picture.

  116. heather

    01.26.11

    The acrylic option looks so professional, but I do love the canvas as well. I would love to get some of my pictures of Montana into my new Boston apartment – just a small but special reminder of where I came from.

  117. Finally, an easy way to turn photos into art!! Love this giveaway. And LOVE the acrylic!

  118. Rachel

    01.26.11

    very cool! I like the wood mounted look, I think I would do that if I won!

  119. Megan

    01.26.11

    I would have a hard time choosing between a canvas and a framed print! Thanks for this giveaway!

  120. April

    01.26.11

    Love it, great pictures of you guys! I like the wood and how the goes to the edge, less frame.

  125. Nanette

    01.26.11

    i love the wood mounting best. It lets the focus stay on the photo and looks classic. My husband and I are expecting our first baby in may so our first family photo would be the picture i would choose.

  126. Char

    01.26.11

    I love the wood mounted! perfect for pics of my baby

  127. Kate

    01.26.11

  128. Emily

    01.26.11

    I would def choose the wood options and get a pic of my boys together.

  129. Joanna

    01.26.11

    Ahh! I can’t decide…I love them all! I really love the canvas, though!!

  130. Bridget

    01.26.11

  131. ashlee

    01.26.11

    I’m sooo interested in the wood mounting option. It’s so unique I have this photo from my wedding of me and my husband during our first dance and its dark so it looks like an outline of us and I think this would make it look amazing on the wood mounting
