***This giveaway is now closed – see who won below!***
This week’s random winner is… Megan (who simply and politely just entered “Pop me, please”). Congrats Megan!
Hope everyone’s having a great Labor Day! We thought we’d drop in with today’s giveaway and solve the little hint that we gave you in Friday’s post about this week’s prize. The three clues were: soda cans (aka: pop), a canvas, and the fact that the photo was taken in Instagram (hence the border and that signature square size). So, fellow Instagram addicts, this one’s for you. Well, I guess it’s for anyone who takes pictures or generally enjoys putting art on their walls. Canvaspop is the first company to specialize in turning Instagram photos into high-quality, UV-protected, scratch-proof matte finish canvases. And they’re giving one of you $300 to turn your Instagram dreams into wall art reality. And if you don’t dream in Instagram, they can take any other photos too – including your Facebook pics (and don’t miss the 30% discount code below even if you don’t take home the prize).
- PRIZE: A $300 credit to spend at Canvaspop
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “POP ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what your favorite photo is (Instagram or otherwise) from your adventures this summer. Did you capture a killer view on your vacation? Or get a hilarious snapshot of your kids playing in the pool? Or maybe you snagged an artsy angle of some iconic summer imagery – like a beach or a sunset? hot dogs on the grill? a kite flying high in the air?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 5th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada

I have 2 favorite Instagram pictures this summer. The fist was a shot of my best friends now 4 year old son resting his arm on my leg. It was just such a precious moment for me and I just swell with love when I look back at that picture. The second was a shot of the same guy holding his new baby sister. The look of joy on his little face makes me want to cry just thinking about it. (If you can’t tell I got mad love for these little kiddos).

My husband and I have been married for two years, and we finally took our honeymoon this summer. On the trip, he captured what has to be my favorite picture ever … we were on a mini-bus tour in rural England, learning about the white chalk horses that were carved into the mountainsides 300+ years ago. We stopped for a break near a small farm, and my husband got a picture of a (real) beautiful brown horse with a white chalk horse in the background, on a nearby mountain. It was a foggy day, and the picture is just surreal. So gorgeous!
ErinAnn says
