New in the Shop! Graphic Dachshund Prints

Over the past several months I’ve been helping my mom design our very own set of adorable dachshund prints for my shop. With yours truly as the muse we are finally able to introduce 6 sweet prints that are now available for purchase!

Each one was completely hand-drawn by my mom on her tablet and has been professionally printed on a petite 4″x4″ size – most appropriate considering us dachshunds are short and sweet.

Ammo the Dachshund // Printcopia // Canvas Prints of your Photos

A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by my pals at Printcopia, an online resource for getting your photos made into canvas prints and other printed materials. They offered up an 11″x14″ canvas print, so I could take their services for a whirl. Being the art-loving pooch that I am, I surely couldn’t pass up the opportunity!

But before I could order my canvas print I had to choose which photo to use – not such an easy task when your parents take hundreds of photos of you on a weekly basis.

After pouring over thousands of photos of me I finally settled on this one taken during one of our big blizzards a few years ago. Adorable isn’t it? You can ooooh and ahhhh if you like.

Then I hopped on the computer and proceeded to go through the process of ordering my canvas print from Printcopia.

After uploading my chosen photo I had the option to resize it. I also noticed you can even easily upload photos from Instagram and Facebook, which makes the process even easier!

Then I selected a border option (I chose to mirror my image) for how my photo would look on the edges of my canvas & picked a display method too. Finally it was off to checkout, with the promise that a week or so later my new print would be arriving in the mail.

When my canvas arrived I could hardly wait to put it on display in my house! I love it so much that I’m already dreaming of which of my favorite Instagram photos I’d love to get printed to hang on my wall.

And now because it’s your VERY LUCKY DAY! Printcopia has offered to giveaway an 11×14 Canvas Print to one Lucky reader! How awesome is that?
