I love finding new and beautiful ways to display my photographs or inspiration for photo gifts for my family. I recently discovered a gem of a website where photographs can be transformed into wonderful statement pieces: indeed works of art which are unique and personnel to the individuals whose photos they belong to.
Pink, Blue & You is the brainchild of Rachel Tapping, a mum of two, which is based in the Cotsworlds. The concept behind Pink Blue & You is to design “beautiful contemporary art, with meaning”.
I think the photomontages that Rachel creates for people are stunning and would look gorgeous adorning any wall in your home
It’s very simple. You simply send Rachel a selection of photos of your choice, you select the colours and size of the canvas to would like and that’s it. The end result is then created and is an original piece of photo art that you designed! The photos can be sent digitally or if you wanted to use actual photographs from pre digital photography days, you can send them to Rachel and she will scan them for use in your photo collage.
The colour palette on the canvas, can be suggested by Rachel as to what she feels would best compliment your print, or maybe you have something in mind yourself. It doesn’t matter if the colour isn’t a regular one either because Rachel can match a piece of fabric, maybe a petal or leaf or maybe something from the beach! Your photomontage really is that unique and individual to your specifications.
The subject doesn’t have to be obvious ones like your children, although personally I would choose mine! , you might prefer to select your pet, holiday memories, a car or motorbike that you own, flowers, buildings well anything really! As long as they are photographs that you or some one close has taken.
Prices start from £85 for a 12″ x 12″ sized canvas with the largest size being 30″x 30″ costing £250. Gift vouchers are also available.
They would make perfect gifts for a loved one, don’t you think?
Well I thought so too and that is why I am pleased as punch to announce that Rachel has very kindly and generously agreed to allow one very lucky Mummy Mishaps reader the chance to win a personalised photo montage from Pink Blue & You 🙂
The prize is a 16″ x 16″ / 40cm x 40cm sized canvas worth £140
An amazing prize I think!
With Father’s Day just around the corner (19th June), what better way to show the father figure in your life, or that of your child’s how much they mean than with a photomontage gift?
All you need to do to be in with a chance of winning is to complete the rafflecopter form below. Closing date is 12:01am Tuesday 22nd May, 2012.

Thank you xx
I would use photos of all my family members, from 89 year old great gran to the youngest toddler
I think I would use all the photos that bring back the most memories of my life. Places & people that mean the most to me
If I was the lucky winner, I would ask Rachel to make a montage of my little nephew as a present for my brother and sister-in-law. They would love it so much! x
I’d go for my boys. I just love the photos of the two of them together.
I would have to do one with pictures of my little boy, I love photos on the wall and these canvasses look fab!
What a lovely idea, I’d use photos of my children.
I would use the montage to map our family – a beautiful way to be able to record my lovely family @Bobbity666
I think i would use it to capture some of my Project 366 pictures 🙂
I’d have my grandaughter & my dog as a montage.
My family, my boys no longer live with me and it would be a fab reminder.
Thats a great idea Paula x
I would create a montage for my girls bedroom from all of our Butlins trips
It would have to be the twins!
I would have pictures of my kids x
Obvious choice but I’d use Charles and Harry. We have wall in our kitchen which needs some kind of photo/art work and this would be perfect!
It would have to be my two tiny tearaways. Monkey and Missy Woo are so much more photogenic than me!
I would create a montage of my new family of four as our second son, Aidan, was only born a month ago 🙂
I’ve got so many photos of H – I think I’d want to use some of those.
I would say I’d put photos of the kids in it but I think my daughter would benefit from it most. We live over 1000 miles away from family and her old friends so having a photo montage of them would be lovely for her.
Definitely Isabelle with her little sister Olivia 😉
My children @MummyFever
my son, definitely, he is the prettiest picture i could possibly imagine! i might squeeze some other family members in too, like my grandma who has recently passed away.
I would make a motage of my family. My second son, Aidan, is now 1 month old, so it would be a very special photo montage. 🙂
Hello lovely mummy mishaps followers!
I’m sat here realising how careless I have been – I should have added a comment here straight away, as well as subscribing so I could read all these lovely comments! More fool me, all I can say is it’s been a busy few weeks, and I’m still working on how to find time to keep up with the business and family life.A big good luck to you all for the competition, if you don’t win I’d love to create a photomontage for your birthday or Christmas, just mention Mummy Mishaps and I’ll give you a 10% discount (this only applies if you entered the competition).
I look forward to working with the winners photos!
All the best,
Rachael
Has to be my children. These look fab x
I actually have one of these montages – a gift from my family of my gorgeous little minature yorkshire terrier who died many years ago. I love it. I smile everytime I look at it and each photo holds a little memory! Highly recommend this and would love another!
photos of my son, he changes so quickly at this young age, you want to capture every moment 🙂
I would use the pictures of my sons. Unfortunately they died at birth in October and I am unsure how to display their pictures without it looking morbid. This could be a good way of displaying them in a fun way.
wow, love this idea, I would use the photos that I always want to display of my family but I have that many, so this would be the perfect excuse to display them all
my father in law dave and my hubby as we lost Dave suddenly last year a week before fathers day and would lve it for the hubby from the kids as a remembrance of all the fun times they had
