This week’s random winner is… Megan (who simply and politely just entered “Pop me, please”). Congrats Megan!
Hope everyone’s having a great Labor Day! We thought we’d drop in with today’s giveaway and solve the little hint that we gave you in Friday’s post about this week’s prize. The three clues were: soda cans (aka: pop), a canvas, and the fact that the photo was taken in Instagram (hence the border and that signature square size). So, fellow Instagram addicts, this one’s for you. Well, I guess it’s for anyone who takes pictures or generally enjoys putting art on their walls. Canvaspop is the first company to specialize in turning Instagram photos into high-quality, UV-protected, scratch-proof matte finish canvases. And they’re giving one of you $300 to turn your Instagram dreams into wall art reality. And if you don’t dream in Instagram, they can take any other photos too – including your Facebook pics (and don’t miss the 30% discount code below even if you don’t take home the prize).
- PRIZE: A $300 credit to spend at Canvaspop
- TO ENTER: Comment on this post with the words “POP ME” and tell us…
- BONUS QUESTION: … what your favorite photo is (Instagram or otherwise) from your adventures this summer. Did you capture a killer view on your vacation? Or get a hilarious snapshot of your kids playing in the pool? Or maybe you snagged an artsy angle of some iconic summer imagery – like a beach or a sunset? hot dogs on the grill? a kite flying high in the air?
- GIVEAWAY CLOSES: Wednesday, Sept 5th at 8pm EST or at 10,000 entries (whichever comes first)
- NUMBER OF WINNERS: One
- PRIZE SHIPS: The United States & Canada

POP ME!
Definitely tough to choose – I think my fav was a casual pic I took at the cottage by the tire swing with our three year old standing arm in arm with our beloved 5 year old cock-a-poo dog Willow. It’s rare I can get them to both pose for a pic – nevermind together. They are best buds forever – reminds me of your cute pair!

“POP ME”
My favorite summer photo…hmmm…so many to choose from. We camped at a Scottish Festival and I was trying out my new camera that sets colours. There was an ancient green bus in the campground with a stage on the top that men in kilts climbed up on and made music all weekend long. I set the camera to green. It’s awesome, green old bus and the rest is black and white.
Tirzah says

POP ME!
My favorite is a picture of the wedding cake I made for a freinds wedding this summer!!
Allie says
POP ME! My fave photo is of my dog wearing his yellow rain jacket because he looks like a tiny scruffy Gorton’s fisherman. It makes me laugh, cause I’m nerdy like that.
Claire says
POP ME! It’s hard to pick a favorite photo from this summer, but it’s probably the one we got this weekend while whale watching in Maine. The whale was blowing and I caught the photo at the exact right second!
Stephanie says
POP ME!
My favorite is a very up-close photo of a bison in Yellowstone National Park — taken from the safety of a car!
Kelly P says
POP ME!
My favorite pic is definitely of my hubs and me in front of the Taj Mahal. It was a once in a lifetime trip that I know we’ll remember forever.
Pam says
POP ME! The best photo I took this summer was on the beach. The sun was in my eyes so I couldn’t tell if I was getting the shot I wanted, and it turned out to be perfect!
DJ says
pop me
Any photo with our pooch in it is a winner. :)
Sandra says
Pop me!
So many to choose from but my favorite is probably my two year-old son “golfing” with his plastic clubs. He hit the ball the wrong way and was bent over with his hiney in the air, watching the ball that he hit between his legs.
Erin says
“POP ME” My favorite photo from this summer is of an old ship wreck on a north Oregon beach!
CB in Texas says
Pop me!
Probably the one of my new kitty and 4 year old puppy taking their first nap with me.
Emma S says
POP ME! My fave thing that I captured on film this summer was a series of pictures of my fiance’s family farm – it’s recently been sold after over 60 years of being in the family. My fiance grew up on that farm and it was so important to him that we try to capture what he loves most about it – the views.
Melanie says
POP ME! My husband and I have so much fun with our Instagrams that I’m not sure we could pick a favorite. We’ve been playing around with what to do with our Instagrams so they could live outside of our phones and this sounds perfect!
Anya says
Pop me! We’re leaving on a road trip for Tx in a couple of weeks…so maybe a favorite will come out of it!

Jen Hughes says
Pop me please….
Anne says

“POP ME” Maybe not my favorite but the funniest, I took a shot of a menu that said it offered “glutton” free options.
avilynn says
Pop me!! My favorite is a pic of my 2 yr old riding his mini razor scooter. He’s looking off into the distance at his big brothers. Its a fun angle & the sunset light just makes it such a pretty photo:)
Kristin says
POP ME!
I love Instagram and post often. My recent favorite documents all the food I ate at the State Fair!
Leigh says
Pop me! Hard to choose, but I like the ones of my pup at the dog park this summer.

POP ME!!
I don’t know that I could name a favorite – I’m kind of in love with Instagram and I keep on adding pics. :) but I’m loving pics from our beach vacation and random nature shots showing the season.
Mae says
POP ME!!
My favorite photo was me and my fiancé on a hike in Blacksburg, VA.
Caroline says
POP ME! beach sunsets & my pup! I have way too many to choose from…
Mandy says
POP ME!! I’d have to say the picture of our kids sitting under the water falling over the head from the slip-n-slide. It’s a perfect image of summertime…. green grass, blue skies, swimsuits and kids smiling!
Sara says
POP ME! My favorite image from the summer is one I took of a suspension bridge in Boston while we were there on vacation in July.
Anne G. says
POP ME!
Who are we kidding…all my pics are of food and the kids!
Anna says
POP ME
My first Instagram photo ever ended up being of a baby bird that my friend rescued after its nest got attacked. It looks so serene in her hands.
Nichole says
Pop me!
My fave pics include my 1 year old truly experiencing water for the first time: swimming pool, ocean, water park, you name it – she was in it and having a blast!
leslie says
POP ME! I feel kind of guilty for my favorite photo not being one of my daughter, so I’ll include two. On the beach, I saw a seagull and was reminded of a favorite book. So I took his picture and called him Jonathan – reminding me that I can always go higher or further or faster. On the same day, my daughter saw the ocean for the first time and played sweetly on the “sandbox.”
charity says
POP ME!
Probably walking along Lake Michigan on Montrose Beach Harbor or Promontory Point in Chicago. (Best city ever!)
Jane says
Pop me!
My favorite photo of the summer I didn’t actually take. On my honeymoon a wonderful waiter noticed my husband and I snuggling and enjoying the view from the rooftop restaurant and snapped a photo. We found it on the camera (which we had left on the table) shortly after.
Melissa says
POP ME!
I don’t have any one favorite, I just love photography!
This would definitely help me clear out the 700+ pictures on my phone!
Christina says
POP ME! My fiance and I in Cabo!
Kate Ediger says
POP ME! My favorite was a pic of my 10 mile run on Vacation in Key West. Loved it all!!
Eliza says
pop me!
this is our first summer with our daughter so as a new mom, of course i think every picture we take of her is perfect. BUT if i had to pick one, i’d pick one we got of her on vacation – it’s taken from the side so she can’t see me – she’s in her super cute bathing suit, playing in the sand at the edge of the lake and just enjoying the water. i love it!
