Tutorials & Tips Tuesday {12} Geezees Custom Canvas Giveaway

May 16, 2011
Welcome to Tutorials & Tips Tuesday!  Today’s giveaway comes to us from Stephanie at Geezees Custom Canvas.  Stephanie started Geezees in 2009 as a way to create custom artwork for all of life’s precious stages.  Let me show you a sampling of her work!
I love how she uses quotes over pics to create truly unique pieces.

 Of course you don’t have to include a picture on your canvas!  Typography is gorgeous all on it’s own.

A favorite passage from a book, a poem you wrote, a favorite verse, or favorite lyrics from a song can all be put on your custom canvas.

Don’t forget that Father’s Day is right around the corner!

 Putting together a picture collage for your dad or hubs will make such a meaningful gift.

Or how about some Father’s Day Subway Art?  I’m loving this Daddy A to Z canvas!

I think a custom canvas would also make a fabulous wedding or graduation gift.  You’ll have to visit the Geezees gallery to see all the many options available to you!

This week Geezees Custom Canvas is generously offering one A2Z reader a handmade 12X16 custom canvas which is a $130.00 value.    To qualify for the giveaway please do one or all of the following:

1)  Leave a comment telling what you’d love to have recreated and personalized on a custom Geezees canvas.

2) For a second chance to win, like Geezees on Facebook, then leave a comment telling me you did so.

3) For a third chance to win, either mention this giveaway on Facebook OR tweet this giveaway on Twitter with a link, and leave a comment telling where you posted this giveaway (FB or Twitter).

Giveaway ends next week. One US resident winner only will be chosen by Random.org.

And now let’s see those fabulous tutorials and tips!
