If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you know that we like a little sport called hockey in this house. Ever heard of it? My husband blogs at the domain of “The Hockey Dad”, and has season tickets to see The Tampa Bay Lightning. My son’s room is painted in royal blue…err…Tampa Bay Lightning blue, and he’s got autographed poster and an autographed hockey stick in his room. And, our family vacation in June includes a trip to the hockey hall of fame! We’ve also met hockey stars in person – Dave Andreychuk, Vinnie Lecavalier, Brad Richards, Nikolai Habibulin and Dan Boyle. We’ve got pictures of my son and husband posing with them, and I’ve thought about getting a frame and adding all of those pictures to it, for display in my son’s hockey themed bedroom.
Today, I found a site that can take your pictures and turn them into a work of art for your wall…and I think it would be amazing to use this on the pictures we’ve got of our brushes with hockey fame. Wallhogs is a site that can turn any picture or graphic into a work of art. You simply upload your pictures and they print it on vinyl, poster paper, or art canvas. The vinyl is the mid priced option, and it’s reusable. The adhesive backing makes it stick to the walls, but not the paint, so you can move the picture again and again. The best priced option is the glossy poster print – perfect for framing or tacking up on a wall.
But you want to go high end and super professional looking? Try one of the frame it yourself canvas prints. You save money that way, and you get a photo that looks like a piece of art. (I think the vinyl is the best option for what we have in mind – but the canvas print would be amazing for family pictures of nature shots you took with your digital camera!)
This has so many more applications than just pictures of my son with his favorite hockey players. Doesn’t every grandparent want pictures of the grandkids? Make them a work of art featuring their favorite grandchild. Or create unique one of a kind pieces for your family room, basement, or rec room. And if you’re looking for general photos, Wallhogs can help you out there too. They’ve got a huge selection of stock artwork ready to be printed, from classic cars to sports to celebrities…do you think my husband would mind if I put up Gwen Stefani in my den?

I found a good one too…called Jumbo Sticky Pics. They do the same thing, but their material is better. I had one similar to a Wall Hog vinyl one and it started peeling up around the edges. The Jumbo Sticky Pic doesn’t. I would recommend to your readers that they get a Jumbo Sticky Pic instead…the price was better too.
