It’s been a big year for photos for me. First my wedding, then my pregnancy and now, little Ida and portraits of our new family. And while I love having pictures on my iphone and computer to share, I think it’s nice to have framed photos around the house, too. But (especially with wedding photos and family portraits) framed photos can tend toward the cheesy if not done right.
Enter Plywerk.
I first came across Plywerk when I was looking to get pictures printed and framed from my Istanbul trip. I thought that Plywerk could be a great solution. I love that they are made from bamboo, in Portland–and that they aren’t made with glass (because I always seem to break glass in frames.) When the Istanbul Plywerks arrived I was smitten. I next got some made from my maternity photos for a little gallery wall in Ida’s room. So naturally, when it was time to print our family portrait, I thought of Plywerk. The timing could not have better because they just launched their new beveled frames, which I knew would be perfect with our ‘screaming’ family portrait.
Our portrait now hangs in our entryway and makes people smile as they enter and exit our home. It’s very ‘us’. And now, you’ll have a chance to have one that’s very ‘you’ because to celebrate the launch of the new beveled model, Plywerk is offering one JB reader a custom printed 8×12 Plywerk with a 3/4″ bamboo beveled edge, just like mine.
Here’s what to do to win.

Good luck!

My boyfriend has been bugging me to print out some black and white photos he took of places around our town. Plywerk would be a great way for me to get on that and finally heed his wishes!
Hmmmm… too many choices… it might be time to get one of our wedding photos printed since we got hitched 3 years ago!

I’d definitely put a picture of me and my love in my Plywerk frame!
What an awesome idea! I’d use an image of Torres del Paine from our honeymoon and do a split panel set up for our new dining room!
I would put one of our engagement photos to have by our wedding guest book table at our wedding reception. And then put the photo in our house after.

I want to have photos of my boyfriend’s grandmother printed in a Plywerk. She was a fire cracker back in the day. Time has not been kind to her, and she’s forgotten all of the righteous waves she used to make. I want to remind her of her spunk and assure her that none of us will ever forget it.
I would love for my engagement photos printed in Plywerk. This is an awesome giveaway!
Pinned it!

Very cool choices over at their site! Since having our second son a few months ago, winning this would be my motivation to finally get a family photo of the four of us (one in which I’m not wearing a hospital gown!). Thanks for hosting, Justina!

thanks for this awesome giveaway miss tina!
WOW! The print is so pretty! This looks so easy. I have way too many personal photos that deserve to be treated this way. Can’t wait to try.

Ooo oooo, I love Plywerk. And I love all the plywerked photos you have up at your Junglalow, Justina! Since I’m getting married in a few weeks (!!!) I’d love to frame some of me & my beau (frenching!!!)… haha. Pick me! Xxx, Shannon
Whoa, just checked out Plywerk’s site. Love the 12″x12″ bambo bevel featured on their HP. So dope. Throwin’ my name in the hat a few more times! Consider this Pinned, Facebooked & Tweeted, my sweet! : )
A family portrait…we have none, and it would be a very excellent excuse to take one!

love your family portrait, it´s distinctly and sweetly you! I’m so into bamboo and wooden frames right now, and would die of cuteness to see a pic of my pet bunny rabbit, “Karl The King” decorated in all his glory. love, Nina Munk
I still haven’t framed a wedding photo (what is WRONG with me!!). So, that’d be my choice!
Tweeted! https://twitter.com/shaunanep/status/264121895580991488
Lurve seeing this! I’d also love to frame my maternity pix, and better yet, now some of my little guy! All best, Elline
Oops, trying again. Definitely family pix.
And facebooked!
Awesome! I would do my favorite picture of my husband, me and my little baby boy:)

I would love a frame for my new NYC apartment! I need to decorate it and make it feel like home!
I’m getting hitched in less than two months, and I know I’ll want to hang some of those shots on our walls. These are so awesome! And I love the website. Also, if I do say so myslef, they’d go really well in our California casual bedroom. Throw my hat in the ring, please!
I love this! And you know how many photos I have that need to go up… Can’t you just see Kai’s smiling face now??
Love the new beveled frames! I’d Plywerk my favorite wedding photo. I never got around to even making an album of the big day. Our anniversary is coming up, and this would be a great traditional “wood” gift for my best friend and husband of five years.
Love these! I have a bunch of really lovely wedding photos, but I love your idea of taking out the cheese factor. We have this one wedding picture in particular though, that was not posed and is completely silly. We are looking at each other with these crazy grins and I think it would look lovely up on my walls
And here is my pin!

My baby boy is turning one in a few weeks, I’d love to put a newborn shot of him up on the wall to remember those sweet early days. Love Plywerk!
I love any and all things bamboo and the fact that there is no glass is a big plus for me because glass never lasts long in my house of boys and dogs! I have tons of photos on my computer that need to be on display and this is perfect. Thanks for the tip T!
we recently got the proofs to our engagement photos and would love to have the bamboo frame for them. i love this!

I love these! I’d put a photo that my bf took. We’ve been getting into photography & it would remind me of the adventures we go on just to “get the shot.”
i’d definitely put one of our wedding photos on since we’ve been married for 2 years and do’t have a single photo framed!
