Add Flair to Dad’s Desk This Father’s Day with Acrylic Photo Blocks and Woodstand Prints
Father’s Day is just around the corner and I find that I am always struggling to figure out what to get my husband and my own Dad on this special day. They have everything they need and they always say, “Don’t buy me anything, just bring yourself over!”. Like that is going to happen! Then I began to think where do they spend the majority of their time? At work (unfortunately) so why not bring some of the family to work with photos of their favourite people?
This year I ordered an acrylic block for my desk at work using one of my favourite pictures of my boys. It displayers their personalities perfectly, one is quiet while the other one is a comedian.
I have had so many people stop at my desk to check out the acrylic block and attempt to figure out how Posterjack managed to get the photo inside the block. The block itself is roughly one inch clear acrylic block. Posterjack prints the photo on the inside giving the image a 3-D quality that is crystal clear, vibrant and stunning.
These would be perfect for wedding photos, family portraits, newborn shoots and to capture those special moments that just make you smile (like mine above).
Woodstand prints are another fantastic option for smaller desk top spaces that still need some personality and uniqueness. These versatile woodstand prints are made from Canadian Douglas fir and renewably sourced in British Columbia. The woodstand prints hold your favourite print in place without taking up precious desk space.
These two options are perfect for Dad this Father’s Day and allows them to always keep the people they love close to them, even at work.
Right now you can save 30% off your order from Posterjack if you order before June 8th, 2015. Just enter code: DAD30 at checkout.
How are you celebrating Dad this Father’s Day?

Refresh Your Decor with Posterjack This Spring
Winter felt like it would never end this year but spring is finally here! Many of you may have even started your spring cleaning already (I have a giant checklist of things to get done but not quite sure where to start). One of the more forgotten areas of your home is your home decor and the prints on your wall (you know all those infant prints you have up in frames and your child is now nine with no updated photos in sight!). The best way to refresh your home for the spring months is to update these few easy items on your walls.
Here are some helpful tips from Posterjack to help you accomplish this task:
Embrace Spring Photography
Spring time is an incredible time to get outside and take photographs. The flowers are budding, the weather is cool and not too warm and the lighting is perfect for your pictures. If you have kids take them outside to join you in the hunt for budding flowers, bugs and special nature shots. Use this time to explore and build your child’s knowledge of the outdoors.
Encourage Your Children to Participate in Photo Shoots
Is the weather wet and rainy outside? No worries! Set up an area inside and create your own family photo shoot. Have your children choose their props and set up the area in which you will be taking your pictures. Maybe take to Pinterest or the internet to figure out how you would like to set up the photos and go from there. In the photo shoot below our boys wanted to include their Dad’s ucalaly so we went for it and captured this perfect picture of their hands that melts my heart everytime I look at it.
Add a Pop of Colour to Your Decor
Colour has a way of changing the mood in a room. So liven it up and give your photographs a hint of colour this spring. Posterjack offers image customization features that allows you to add borders or photo effects.
Spring Clean Your Hard Drive
This is the one area that I have been slacking in. I have over four thousand photos to scroll through, save and transfer! It is also an important task to make sure you don’t lose anything important (who wants to lose those first baby photos??).
Join the 12 Prints Project
Have you been following the #12PrintsProject online? If not head over to Twitter and check it out to win prizes. Remember to keep on top of printing off your photos to make it less overwhelming on yourself at the end of the year.
Celebrate Mom!
Photographs and photo books are my personal favourite gift to receive and with Mother’s Day fast approaching, I can’t wait to see what my boys create for me! Capturing a special moment in time and gifting it to the person you love is the ultimate personal gift you can give the special person in your life.
How do you update your wall art and photographs in the Spring?

March Break Fun with Linky! #WW
Last week we were off enjoying March Break and here is a glimpse of our week!
We attended a Raptors game (where unfortunately they lost) but my son taught me a lot about basketball and it was fun to just spend some one on one time with him. He has quite the humour!
We went for a couple of hikes as the weather has finally let up and the snow is starting to melt. The views by the lakefront were spectacular!
We went bowling where my eldest and I tried to re-gain our Number One Title but we lost to my husband and youngest son (we still say there was definitely some cheating going on by those two!).
To top it off we baked and baked!!
What have you been up to this week?
