BIRTHDAY BASH Review & Giveaway: CVS Photo- CLOSED
5:05 PM Posted by Desi @ Wee Share
When we moved a few months ago, I ultimately inherited the challenge of decorating our new space. I had brought all of the photos we had displayed at our old house, but some just didn't fit like they had before. Rooms are different dimensions, windows are placed differently, and the amount of wall space is different. Slowly, I have been gathering new pictures to fill our walls with. For me, one of the challenges I always face is finding a frame. I really hate to shop for frames. Generally, they are ridiculously overpriced and many of them don't fit my style anyhow.
So, when I heard about two new products from CVS Photo, I was a bit ecstatic. CVS Photo has recently introduced their Wall Art and Easel Art. Both products make it possible to display treasured photos without the use of a frame. That's what I'm talking about! Here's a little more information about each product:
Wall Art
Available Sizes: 11 x 14
Orientation: Horizontal or Vertical
Display a fabulous photo with great dimension on this wall mounted wood panel with a glossy scratch-resistant finish. You just need a nail to dress up any space beautifully.
Easel Art
Available Sizes: 5 x 7 and 8 x 10
Orientation: Horizontal or Vertical
This wood photo panel with easel is great for displaying your favorite shot. Your photo is transferred to the glossy finish, wood panel and protected with a UV-resistant, scratch-free coating.
I was given the opportunity to try out one of these great new products from CVS Photo. Darren really wants one of the Easel Art pieces for his desk at work, but I ultimately decided to go with the Wall Art for our house. if you saw just how much blank wall space we have in our house, you would completely understand!
I headed on over to the CVS Photo website and signed in. I found the Wall Art option and clicked so that I could begin my creation. I already had several photos of pictures because I had ordered some prints a few months ago. However, I had an exact picture in mind that I wanted to use. It was one that I had recently taken of Raileigh. So, I used the Java Edition Fast Uploader to add more photos to my CVS Photo online account.
Then, it was easy to drag the photo to the online wall art canvas. I could adjust the orientation of the photo or add special effects such as black and white or sepia. I could also adjustment the placement of the photo so that the picture would be printed onto the wall art just as I wanted it. It was an incredibly easy process that created a beautiful piece of art!
Now that I have seen just how easy it is to create beautiful frameless keepsakes for my home, I may have to go back and create Darren one of the easel art pieces. Besides, a 5 x 7 easel art is just $11.99, and that would be perfect for his desk. I also think that both the wall art and easel art would be fantastic gift ideas for Christmas. I always worry that I will purchase a frame that doesn't match the recipients decor, and this way I would not have to worry about that anymore.
Would you like to see firsthand just how amazing the new photo products from CVS are? Lucky for you, CVS Photo is sending one We Share reader a gift code that is valid for one Easel Art or one Wall Art!
