Insta This!
I have more travel pictures than I even know what to do with! In the past few years Kev and I have traveled and lived around the globe, adventuring and exploring the most incredible, vibrant and beautiful places! I then come home and am lucky if I even blog about my adventures, much less put the images up in my house somewhere!
So, when brothers Nate and Josh Larkin from InstaThis contacted me, I knew in a heartbeat i'd soon get some of my travel momentos into my hands and onto my walls! I was thrilled!
InstaThis takes any image (iPhone, handheld camera, and DSLR pictures) and puts them on 1 of 3 items. They offer wood and aluminum matting for photos, or you can choose to have your photos put onto coasters!
I took some of my favorite images and tested them out. Here is a look at how they turned out:
COASTERS:
I chose some of my favorite prints from our SE Asia trip last year, one from Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, and Vietnam. I seriously am over the moon about these coasters! The pictures quality is GREAT, the colors vibrant, and the matting impeccable! I'm already scheming about how I can start giving these coasters as gifts! The amazing thing is that they are only $5 a coaster!! So affordable!
Aluminum
For the Aluminum matting, I picked a pictures I took in Greece on the Island of Crete. My sister and I stumbled upon this old monastery and explored. I seriously LOVED the aluminum matting. It was very clean, glossy, and vibrant. I actually think if I had to pick between the wood and aluminum {while it's SO close!} I would choose the Aluminum for further pictures!
Even though I loved the Aluminum so much, the wood was a very close second. I loved the way the grain of the wood added an extra texture to my pictures! I chose an image of a romantic street in Paris that was just too dreamy to keep hidden on my computer! The wood has an old world charm about it that I just love. Maybe I like the wood better? haha…see, it was just too hard to decide!!
So the verdict is that I LOVE InstaThis! I've already planned out a few birthday gifts I will be giving to friends and family using some of my travel photos:) Everything was clean, professional, and just a fun touch to add to your home!!
And in other BIG news…

Happy Week Friends!
