My Thoughts

I have not colored for myself since I was young. Having kids, I have colored with them in their coloring books, but it was usually time spent with them. When I got my Canvas on Demand, this was something for me. I sat down with it and used a set of Sharpie Markers that worked really good on the canvas. I spent roughly forty minutes working on the canvas. It's not done yet and will take some time, but I'm okay with that. It was fun to sit back and think about each flower and pattern, and how I wanted to color it.

The markers I used dried quickly and if my hand sat on an area I colored while coloring somewhere else, there was no bleed onto my hand. The canvas is well made and I didn't feel like while I colored on it, I would stretch it. It's very sturdy and hard.

It comes with the hardware to hang it later when you're finished. I will say, I did feel relaxed while coloring with it. I've been looking for time to sit down and color on it again.

Holiday Gift Guide - Photo Blanket from Collage.com

As a mom of four, one of the things that makes me the happiest is getting a good picture of my children. I have spent thousands of dollars getting professional pictures done over the years, but often times I find my own home pictures are actually better and more natural. But printing those pictures is a hassle and I can't print jumbo copies that I can hang on my walls. That's where Collage.com comes in.  They take your home photos and turn them into high quality prints that are nicer than anything you'll get at a picture studio. Have your favorite family photo printed on canvas, aluminum, or even a blanket. The possibilities are limitless.

 For my review, I was sent a gift code for a photo blanket so that I could experience the full Collage.com service. They make it incredibly easy to create your masterpiece. All I had to do was upload my favorite photo. I barely had to make any adjustments at all. It was super easy and only took a few minutes. Once the picture was loaded, I was able to choose between a full color print, black and white, and  sepia. I went with color print, but you can preview how each option will look to help you decide. You can also crop the photo down to size or adjust it so it fits. In addition to the blankets, you can also create your own canvas, bamboo prints, calenders, ornaments, and so much more.

Once I was done with the ordering process, I proceeded to a secure check out where I was happy to see shipping was a reasonable price. I received the finished product about a week later.  I was very happy with the whole shopping experience and I am very excited about getting this beautiful blanket. It's soft and cuddly, and the colors are very vivid. We'll be sending this one off to my mother so she can snuggle with her grandchildren even when they aren't close by.

Of course, this is only one of the fun gift idea you can find at Collage.com. To see all they have to offer, be sure to visit their website or follow them on social media.

Giveaway & Review: SuperCool Art

**Product was received in exchange for an honest review.**

A Night in Space

Each kit includes canvas, stretcher bars, paints, paint brushes, themed stencil sets, color wheel, paint palettes, craft sticks and more. Whether you like to draw/sketch or paint we have kits to help you get your creativity on!

Our Thoughts
Wow! That's what I thought when I opened the package from SuperCool Art! I was actually a little overwhelmed with the package just because I was expecting something smaller like a color book page-sized stencil. 

The stencil itself is about 20" by 30". The canvas comes in separate pieces, the canvas and the four sides of the wood frame. The frame is very simple to put together as it's grooved so that you can just tap it together with a rubber mallet. The canvas is easily stretched over the frame so you can staple it. The most work in assembling the canvas is really figuring out how you want to get the corners folded so they look neat and tidy! 

My Canvas

I love that the stencil is made from a highly durable plastic and can be kept even when the initial project is done. The only thing that I had an issue with on the stencil is that there were a couple of the items that I had to use an exacto  knife to cut the designs out because the plastic was tough to punch out. Once I was able to get the designs punched out it was time to design my canvas. 

The paints and brushes that came with the set were awesome! They were of good quality and something that I would've picked out in the craft store for a project like this. The set came with white, red, blue, purple, yellow and black paints. The paints are big enough that the kids can experiment with mixing colors and make multiple canvases! It's definitely something that is educational when you sit down with the kids!

I'm including the picture of the canvas that I painted from the stencil that was sent. I did use other paints on the canvas that I had at home and the lettering is done from stencils that I already had.  For this, I painted once the kids had gone to bed because I wanted to experience the item before they did so I knew what to help them with going into the project. I loved that everything was just really simple. The only thing that I might have to help the kids with is tracing the stencils. (You wouldn't have to trace the stencils but in order to preserve them I prefer to trace instead of just painting over the plastic.)  I really can't wait for an evening or a Saturday when I can really sit with the kids and get them to create their own canvases.
