First and foremost…let me explain this picture and this post. The post is about the
crooked Vinyl Photo Print of my kids that you see above. That guy? He’s not my husband. Honestly, I’ve never met him before! But my husband (who took these pics for me) decided that the the picture of the prints needed more ‘dimension’ so he asked a coworker (thanks Robert) to pose with the prints. He agreed. Wasn’t that nice? Are you confused yet? Oh, and why did we take the pics at my husband’s place of employment? Well, because we live in an old house – a rental house – and it has paneled walls. And it seems that everyone we know here has paneled walls as well. Oh, the joys of small towns and old houses! Anyway, paneled walls are NOT good walls for the vinyl prints. So…my sweet husband took the prints to work! Have I mentioned before that I ramble?
Okay – that out of the way…now the post. I have to be honest here, I had never heard of
Upper Case Living before I read about them
Carrie’s blog when she had the giveaway. But since I love to win stuff and I love photos (especially FREE ones), I entered to win one and… I won! I was super-excited about my prize, but didn’t get to order it right away.
You see, my 4 year old Noah, decided to cut huge chunks out of his hair within days of my winning. My kids have cut their hair before, but it had been years since one of them cut it so severely that I had to completely shave their head. I mean, he barely had peach fuzz left on his head.
So it suddenly wasn’t my favorite idea to take his picture for a Vinyl Wall Print that I’d keep forever…you know? I wanted to take the kids out in the beautiful fall weather and get some great pics by the fence and under the tree and, strangely enough, I wanted them to all have HAIR. Oh well. I emailed
Kathy at Upper Case Living and she kindly agreed to give me a few weeks to let his hair grow. It still wasn’t as long as I preferred (and since it's blonde, it's hard to see anyway), but it turned out to be a really good picture in my opinion. So…here’s one of the pictures I won:
It’s hard to get perspective on this picture, so let me try to describe it. This is a contour cut Vinyl Photo Print. It came with backing on it that was peeled away to stick it on the wall. This print is 2’X3’…that’s BIG! You can tell how big compared to Robert (top pic).
Here's my original photo...so you can see how it is 'contour cut'...
Isn't that amazing?
I actually won a 4’X6’ print valued at $89.95, but Kathy said I could spend that $90 anyway I wanted, so I got (2) 2’X3’ prints! Here’s the second print I had done:
It’s not a contour cut print – it’s actually rectangular because if we had contour cut it, it would’ve looked like we were sitting on..well, nothing. It is the picture you see on my
‘About Me’ page and it was taken on our
vacation to Washington DC. See Noah? He had a little more hair then, not much...but a little more!
Anyway, these prints are gorgeous! You can go here to
Kathy’s website to view the catalog. The possibilities are endless! You can tell her I sent you if you decide to order!
