2010 Mother’s Day Giveaway Week: Family Tree

April 30, 2010

Oh. I love this giveaway! You could win a Signature Family Tree from Legacy Designs. Custom designed. Printed on gallery wrapped 24″ canvas. Ready to hang and enjoy. The retail price for an heirloom piece like this is $329. Fabulous prize, right?

This tree design features family names and the country or state of birth of each person. Since every family has different names and characteristics, every tree is custom created by a professional designer and becomes a unique piece of art. I think it’s so wonderful to have something like this in your home. It makes a big visual impact and can really give a family a sense of self and place.

If you’ve been reading Design Mom for awhile, you know I have a thing for pretty family history displays. And this is one of the prettiest I’ve seen. Elegant typography. And I love the leaves that feature the place names — so you can see “where” you’re from. I also love that you get to choose the background and colors, so that the Family Tree could work in any room in your home. Leave a comment below to enter. And visit Legacy Designs to see their beautiful offerings (even other family history displays!). The winner will be announced on Monday. Good luck!

For those who are curious about this sort of thing, here is the process:

1. You’ll need a five or six generation pedigree chart filled out. (Ask your Great Aunts. Great Aunts specialize in family history. Wink.) Use the provided forms or send a copy of one you already have. We really only need the names and the country or state of birth. If there are some missing names, that’s fine.
2. Email your pedigree to: jill@legacydigitaldesign.com.
3. Your custom tree or chart will be created by a professional designer with your choice of background and colors.
4. A low-resolution, digital proof will be emailed to you. Nothing will be printed until you approve the final design.
5. Your file will be printed using state-of-the-art printing on the highest quality materials, then it will be shipped directly to you. Design and printing take about 2-4 weeks. But let them know if you have special deadlines.

Congratulations to Catherine O. You are the lucky winner! Enjoy your new family tree display!
