For Christmas for the children of a deployed soldier
Children love Christmas.  They get presents, of course, but they also get decorations and time to spend with family they don’t often get to see.  Therefore, it can be hard when one of their parents is a deployed soldier during the Christmas Holiday.  The only thing they really want is to see the parent that isn’t there.
Though you may not be able to physically be there, you can send them a Christmas Present to put a smile on their face.  Using the tools available at Canvas Press, you can create a photo to canvas print for your kids this holiday season to let them know how much you miss them.

The process for creating a photo to canvas print is quick and easy.  Log on to www.canvaspress.com and take a few minutes to look over the site.  Canvas Press offers a number of products and services for making your photo to canvas print unique and special.  Once you understand your options, decide on an image for your kids.

Think of what you want the image to convey and have a friend help you take the picture.  Keep your surrounding in mind and use the location in which you are stationed to its full capacity.  Are the sunsets where you are extremely colorful?  Are you in a tropical location with strange plants?  These things will make the picture more interesting for your kids.  Take several shots so that you can choose the best of the bunch.

Once you have your image, upload it to the Canvas Press site.  You can select the type of wrap for your photo to canvas print based on whether or not you think your spouse will want to frame it.  If you want to go with a sleek modern look, select the gallery finish.  It will allow for the image to be wrapped around the edges of the canvas and will look nice on the wall without a frame.  If you think a wacky frame would make the kids smile, send word home before the print arrives and select the standard wrap.

When the kids open the gift on Christmas morning they will be thrilled to see that mom or dad was able to send a picture for them.  Send an email with a special Christmas message to be read when they open the gift from their deployed parent.  It will help them to feel closer to you on a holiday that they missed and let them know that, even though you couldn’t physically be there, you wanted them to remember how much you loved them.
