Dinosaur Giveaway!

 

"Whilst I was in amongst the dinosaurs I had a thought... I need to design a dinosaur canvas"

Well, the Summer Holidays is nearly coming to an end with a new school term starting shortly. I recently (finally) had a whole week not picking up a paint brush and spending quality time with the family (not touching a paint brush is unheard of) but the break still gave inspiration to a thought...
A DINOSAUR canvas. If you know of anyone who would love a Dinosaur Name Plaque Canvas as a gift, whether a newborn or an finishing touch to a recently decorated "big boys" new bedroom in a dinosaur theme, then enter this GIVEAWAY.

Congratulations William and Kate!

Congratulations William and Kate for delivering safely a baby boy! 

As of writing we are yet to know the name of a future king but all excited to hear what they decide to call him. Here's a selection of personalised canvases and prints ideal for a newborn baby boy, lovely gifts or keepsakes and to add that finishing touch to his nursery room once he has been named. Looking at the selection here we have names Harry, George, William, Henry, Oliver, Thomas - I wonder if the royal baby will be called one of these names?

Please allow 21 days delivery for hand painted canvases and up to 10 days for framed prints. Pictured above is a glimpse of the new design "Choo Choo Picture Canvas" - it will be uploaded soon to order direct online, or if you can't wait please email info.lizajdesign@me.com.

Today the giraffe got wet!

The giraffe got wet!

Today the giraffe reached new surroundings...

Normally the Lizajdesign giraffe would end up on a newly decorated nursery wall or wrapped up neatly in orange tissue paper ready to give as a gift for a newborn baby, Christening present or a birthday gift; however today the giraffe was found in the water!

The giraffe has found pride of place on Tom Yallop's powerboat No. 71 for Parklands Racing and today Tom was racing locally in Oulton Broad for the Lowestoft Grand Prix as part of the bank holiday weekend (26/27 May) 2013 Powerboat GP RYA British Championship  

 

Tom is competing for the GT30 class in the second round of the British Championship, "hosted by the Lowestoft and Oulton Broad Motor Boat Club at Nicholas Everitt Park, where over 40 team’s battle it out for valuable championship points in eight different classes" (quote: RYA Powerboat Racing).

Tom Yallop

So another day tomorrow, try and spot the giraffe on No.71 on the water, Good Luck Tom!

Jungle Name Canvases- Personalised

Recently I got asked whether I could provide two Jungle Themed Name Canvas suitable for twins, with a slight varient for a boy and a girl. It inspired me to produce the above sample- to showcase a selection of recent works within the Jungle Theme. 

The Jungle Original Name Canvas was the first ©2007 personalised Name Canvas designed, initially on the lemon coloured background. This design features the giraffe and monkey with a lion in the top right-hand corner and the tiger in the bottom right-hand corner with a zebra and an elephant. The background colours progressed to also include green and turquoise; it is available in two standard sizes - Medium (up to 8 letters) or Large (up to 10 letters).

Jungle Original Name Canvas

A smaller sized personalised canvas was created called the Jungle Original Name Canvas Plaque- which just features two characters, the giraffe and lion, available on green, turquoise or lemon background colourways.

Jungle Original Name Canvas Plaque

To co-ordinate with the pastel colourways a different Name Canvas was designed ©2008 titled Jungle Pastel Name Canvas, again available in sizes Medium or Large. The slight varient features the giraffe and monkey with a crocodile in the top right-hand corner and lion in the bottom right-hand corner with a zebra and snake. It is available on a growing numbers of colours due to previous requests, currently Pastel Orange, Pastel Green, Pastel Blue, Pastel Pink.

Jungle Pastel Name Canvas

Jungle Pastel Name Canvas Plaque

The smaller version is called the Jungle Pastel Name Canvas Plaque shown above in the Pink colour option but is also available on Pastel Blue and Pastel Green.

So the answer to the question is "yes" there are options to have two identical themed canvases with a slight twist for a boy or a girl and if there is a particular colour that you have in mind and I haven't shown, please enquire as these are hand-painted canvases- usually anything can be done!

All hand painted canvases currently have a lead time of 21 days. Feel free to email any enquiries to info.lizajdesign@me.com all emails will be answered within 48 hours.

Spring time newborn gifts

It's been a busy Easter holidays, here is a selection of orders that have gone out recently. This time of the year (now it's starting to get a little warmer) is a great choice for the Farm Original range.  

 

Farm Original Picture Canvases
Farm Original Name Canvas
Spring time newborn lambs, cows, foals, chickens and ducks all feature in this range and is a popular gift for a newborn baby and to add that finishing touch to a new nursery room. Products can be personalised, gift wrapped and you can even add a special gift note and send direct to that special person.

Also featured here is the Gingham Bunny Picture Canvas Personalised - bunny design that is personalised, lovely for a little newborn girl, Christening or for a young girls birthday present.

What's in a name?

I recently had two orders within hours of one another for the same name "Thomas" but different designs, they were to be sent to completely different addresses so I presume they were not intended for the same person. To show you how "Thomas" looks in the two designs:
Jungle Original Name Canvas Plaque (top)
Farm Original Name Canvas Plaque (bottom).

 

Number of letters..

On the medium sized canvas I stipulate up to 7 letters in the name as from doing many this number always fits perfectly. Though recently I had an order come through with the name "Benjamin" but because the name includes the letters "j" and "i" I was just able to make it fit- so if you have got an 8 letter name that includes narrow letters just double check as I could probably make it fit.
Jungle Pastel Name Canvas

All hand painted canvases currently have a lead time of 21 days. Feel free to email any enquiries to info.lizajdesign@me.com all emails will be answered within 48 hours.

Hoppy cluck quack easter

It's that time of year where the popular Farm Original range is on show, a special gift for all the newborn babies around easter, Spring time.

I am a personal favourite of this time of year as I welcomed a Spring baby (a few years ago now) and much loved painting the nursery mural with bunnies, daffodils, birds and animals!


All hand painted canvases do have a lead time of up to 21 days so unfortunately the order book is full now for hand painted pre-easter gifts, but orders are still being taken and dispatch will be shortly after the long bank holiday weekend (at the time of writing).

However - NEW! This week are two personalised prints, one featuring a cheerful yellow duck and the other a pink bunny on a lilac background- all prints have a lead time of 7 days so order in the next few days if you would like to give a unique and special keepsake this easter.

Mother's Day don't forget "Mum's to be..."

It has been a while since Lizajdesign has 'blogged' mainly because it has been a busy time in the Lizajdesign studio!

Tomorrow is Mother's Day and I recall when I was due with my first child, my expectant date was supposed to be before Mother's Day fell and I kept wondering will I be a mother on Mother's Day? As it happened I was overdue so missed that day for that year, but it has been made up since!

Mother's Day is also a day for expectant mum's to be! The Lizajdesign website home page has a showcase of hand painted picture canvases made for your nursery for that finishing touch in preparation to finally becoming a mum! Hand painted canvases have a delivery time of up to 21 days so order early if you want to get the nursery prepared and finished for when that day finally arrives.
