How to Make a Custom Gift

Posted on February 3, 2012 by admin

Hey Everyone-

Don’t you love making a gift for a friend or family member for their birthday or special occasion? I do!

There are some downsides though to making custom gifts from scratch:

1. I don’t always know how it’s going to turn out.

2.  It always takes me longer than I think.

3. It always costs me more than I’m expecting it to.

4. If I’m not happy with it, I still feel like I have to give it to them or I’d waste the time and money!

So you see, custom gifts aren’t always easy to make yourself.  That’s where Letter Your Legacy comes in handy.  By designing framed letter art on our website, you are able to have a large hand in the creating of the custom gift, without all the time or hassle.  Added bonus- it will turn out great and the professional quality will be obvious.

Framed letter art is a wonderful custom gift to give anyone.  You get to first be a part of the design process by picking out the letter photos that you think they would like to spell out their last name, then you get to choose the frame and matte combination, horizontal or vertical layout, and then you are done!  How easy was that?  It’s still a custom gift that you helped create.  It’s not overwhelming, but not as basic as picking up something off of a shelf at the store.

Don’t forget, they’ll be the only one with that specific framed letter art!  So…to recap. Custom gift. Easy. Framed Letter Art. Affordable. Fast Shipping.  Letter Your Legacy.  Have I said enough?

Variety in Letter Photo Art

Posted on February 3, 2012 by admin

Hey Letter Your Legacy Shoppers-

Did you all know that we offer our letter photo art with a variety of custom touches that you get to decide from? That means that it can be even more unique than just letter photos to spell out your name.  We want to offer you as many custom touches for your letter photo art (without being totally overwhelming!) as possible.

Letter photo art at Letter Your Legacy, first of all, has lots of different frame molding choices.  Choose between our 5 standard frames and our 4 different premium frames to get the look you that coordinates with your home. We also offer four different matte colors to go with any of those frames.  This is a mix and match thing!  You want a black frame with red matte?  Or a brown antique frame with a black matte? We can do any and all combinations!  The only combination I don’t recommend is the white frame with the white matte because they aren’t the exact same shade of white.

You can also choose to hang your letter photo art frame in a horizontal or vertical layout.  (That’s sideways or up and down for those of you who missed that day in 3rd grade!)  This is a great option for those of you who have a specific place in mind for your letter photo art.  If you want it to be on a long skinny wall, vertical would be the best choice for you.  If you want it on a bookshelf or mantel, then horizontal is the one for you.  Custom choices for letter photo art is the best!

Isn’t it great that we offer all these custom touches at an affordable price? We build each letter photo art frame from the ground up to your exact specifications.  Try out designing letter photo art on our website to see just how easy and fun it really is!

Framed Letter Art for Your Parents

Posted on January 31, 2012 by admin

Do you have parents who either have everything or don’t really want anything anymore? Yep, me too.  And the really unfortunate part for me is that mine already have framed letter art. At least yours might not have that yet!

Parents can be difficult to buy for sometimes, but what they really want is something special and sentimental that you put thought and effort into.  This is especially great for those of you, like me, with parents in the over 50 range.  Framed letter art fits all the qualifications of a gift that your parents will love.  It’s uniquely designed by you to suit their taste, it’s a custom gift that you couldn’t just pick up at the store 5 minutes before the party, it’s not something they have to wear or be able to turn on and off, and it’s something to remind them of their wonderful family legacy.  Does is sound like your parents would love framed letter art?

Framed letter art makes a great gift for your parents for their anniversary, a birthday (even better if they are close together!), Mother’s/Father’s day, or other holidays.

Enjoy designing framed letter art for your parents! I’m sure they will love it :) Mine did! They have the first Letter Your Legacy’s framed letter art piece ever made.

Family Portrait turned into Canvas Art

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin

When’s the last time you had a friend or professional photographer snap some great pictures of your family?  I’m not talking about a group shot at that last birthday party, I mean the whole family with their hair washed and smiling at the camera- maybe even outside! If it’s been more than a couple of years, it might be time to schedule a photographer or call up your friend with a sweet camera to get take some pics of the family.

I guarantee you that no matter how much your kids hate having their photo taken, you can still end up with at least ONE great photo. That’s all you need to turn a photo into canvas art.  Your family portrait will look beautiful regardless, but why not turn it into canvas artwork that adds stylish design to your home?

Canvas Art for Weddings

Posted on January 26, 2012 by admin

So winter weddings are in full swing and the spring ones will be here before we know it!  Don’t forget that canvas art makes a great accessory to any wedding.  It could be an engagement photo printed on canvas art given at a shower, or it could be a bridal portrait printed to canvas to display at the wedding ceremony.  Of course, you’ve got to get a canvas print of the bride and groom after the wedding itself.  See, the options are endless for canvas art to make a wedding event even more special!

There are so many photos taken during the whole process of engagement, showers, bridal sessions, the rehearsal dinner, the ceremony and the reception. So many great photos sounds like the perfect opportunity for a canvas art wall gallery to me!  Here’s an example of a wall gallery from a beach wedding:

Canvas Collage vs. Canvas Wall Gallery

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin

Have you been on Canvas Now recently to see all of our canvas print options? I wanted to spend a little bit of time today telling you about the differences between a canvas collage and a canvas wall gallery.

First, what are the similarities?  Both involve using multiple photos in your canvas art design.  Both are made on gallery wrapped quality canvas.  Both are made and shipped out of our warehouse in Edmond, OK in one to two weeks after you order.  Both the canvas collage and the canvas wall gallery look great in your home!

Now, what are the difference?  The most obvious difference between a canvas collage and a canvas wall grouping is the separation of photos.  A canvas collage has multiple photos on one canvas, whereas the canvas wall grouping has multiple photos on multiple canvas prints.  The canvas wall grouping is going to spread over a much larger wall space because of the larger printed photos and spacing that you would allow between each canvas print.

If you are looking for the lower pricing option, the canvas collage is probably going to be your best bet.  If you are looking for a dramatic wall design, the wall grouping is going to be the canvas art for you!

Name Art for a Family

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin

Hey Name Art Shoppers-

Have you ever considered what a great gift name art is for a family? It really is! Name art is a way to cherish the legacy that is their family name.  It could be something that you keep for your own family or purchase for another family.  If you are buying name art for someone else, you will love picking out the individual letter photos from our letter gallery to spell out their last name.

A family staying together these days is a big accomplishment, so why not celebrate that with a visual representation like name art?  Their name art frame is something they can hang on their mantel or in a wall collection of family photos.  Their last name is something they share together that identifies them as a family.  Why not show that off with some beautiful name art?

We’ve even had customers before who have purchased each member of the families name and then one last name art frame.  Then they used them all to form a collection on their mantel.  I realize that this may be way out of the budget for some, but it’s a nice idea for those who want to splurge on name art for each family member.

Either way, we love to celebrate the family unit with name art. I hope you will enjoy looking through our various framing and matting options and obviously, we have TONS of great name art photos to choose from!

Photos to Canvas for Valentine’s Day

Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin

Hey All-

I’ve mentioned this before, but Valentine’s Day keeps getting closer and closer and I just want to make sure you’ve started thinking about what photo you are going to print to canvas!

Wouldn’t it be great to give your spouse or significant other a great photo to canvas of you all from a wedding or recent vacation? Or maybe just a really great shot of the two of you!

They will be so excited to see a beautiful photo to canvas of the two of you. Wouldn’t it be great to present your photo to canvas from Canvas Now at the end of a romantic dinner or night out? A photo to canvas is a quality, sentimental gift that won’t break the bank like expensive jewelry or even a really expensive dinner!  Their photo to canvas will be something they can look at everyday and enjoy for years and years.

Name Art for a Nursery

Posted on January 18, 2012 by admin

Hey All-

Have you ordered your custom name art frame from Letter Your Legacy for Valentine’s Day yet? If not, you’ve still got plenty of time! Your significant other will love the sentimental and personal touch of custom name art.

Anyway, I wanted to bring up another outlet for name art that maybe hasn’t come to mind before. Name art for a baby nursery!  Let’s face it parents, the first 8 years or so of their lives is the only time you get to decide what their room looks like. Custom name art for a baby nursery is the perfect touch.  As new parents, you are so excited about the special name that you have picked out for your precious one, so why not do something great with it other than just monogramming a blanket? A blanket only last so many years, but custom name art for your child is something that can be kept for years to come.

Custom name art also makes a great gift for a baby shower too…if the parents are announcing the name, that is. :) Or you could just wait and give it to them after the baby is born.  I’m pregnant with my second, and we aren’t finding out the gender this time, so I won’t have a name until the baby is born!

I hope this gives you another great outlet for gifting with custom name art! It’s going to look beautiful in that freshly painted baby nursery.
