We worked with our good friends at Canon USA to develop another amazing Instagram contest! So many of you joined us a couple months ago when we challenged you to print your favorite Instagram photos with us. It's funny how easy it is to just let all my favorite photos sit on my phone or on a hard drive and never put them into a real-life album. Some of my favorite photos are on Instagram, but they just stay there. As an avid crafter, this just feels wrong! π
So we're making our Instagram printing challenge into a fun little contest, where the user with our favorite photo will winβ
β’ Canon PIXMA iP8720 Crafting Photo Printer: This printer is definitely an office favorite, as it can print up 13" x 19" in beautiful quality (see it in action: 1, 2,).
β’ 16GB Gold iPad Air 2: Apple recently announced their new iPad, which runs the Canon PIXMA Printing Solutions App, so you can print right from the iPad.
TO ENTER: On Instagramβ
β’ Hashtag your favorite photos that you'd love to print #PrintMyInsta
β’ Follow @ABeautifulMess and @CanonUSA
That's it! Simple as that. Each hashtagged photo counts as an entry, and you can enter as many times as you like (old photos too!). Then we'll scroll through and pick our favorite photo to find our winner. Contest is open until 11/19, and the winner will be contacted directly shortly after that. Can't wait to see all your photos!! xo. Elsie

What a fun idea!!! I got a Canon printer after seeing how many projects you guys used it for and it’s MY FAVORITE. I would DIE for the larger one!!
What a wonderful competition! I’ve entered by following both accounts (I was already following ABM!) and I’ve hashtagged some of my favourite pictures, which I’ve just noticed are ALL of my two little doggies. Oops, mad dog lady! I shall hashtag new photos I upload in the next few weeks too.
I’d love to win this competition because I have a “vintage” iPad1 that is soooo old that apps no longer run on it, and safari crashes after I open new pages!!!
I’d love the printer so I can print my photos to send to my aunt (one of my dogs was originally hers, but she has cancer and could not longer cope with him, so I adopted him.) She’d love an update on his progress and this seems like a fantastic way to do it!
I’d also like to print off some of my older memories and dig out the ribbon, pens, paper and other good stuff I have in the drawer and do some scrapbooking. I bought the stuff YEARS ago but have never got around to it. Printing off photos will ensure I FINALLY get my bum in gear!
Thanks again for the opportunity!
And good luck to everyone!
Hi, does anyone know if my Instagram account is private, can a hash tagged pic be seen?
I would like to enter but my profile is private because I don’t like sharing the pics of my kids!
Thanks x
Hi Rach! Unfortunately, we won’t be able to see it if your account is on private. -Jacki
Hooray for fun giveaways!!! This one rocks!
If I leave the hashtag in a comment on an old post, would it still be seen? Or do I have to repost an old photo and leave the hashtag as the caption?
Hi Erin! You can hashtag an old photo and it will show up π -Jacki

Do you also use the small canon that only uses 4×6? I was wondering how the ink usage is. My hp photo printer does about 3 pics before its out of ink. Thanks.
oh you guys are going to have such a hard time choosing!!! i was just scrolling through some of the images that have been tagged…they’re so much goodness out there!
ahhh so excited about this one!(:
Hi guys, love this idea! Is it a worldwide contest?? I’m from germany ;O)
thats awesome! that printer is on my wish list now π
xo, cheyenne
I always look enviously at your printed photo crafts and know my printer isn’t really up to the job! To second Jen’s question, is this contest open internationally? I’m also outside of the U.S. xx
Alright alright, I could definitely use both of these items!!

I didn’t realise how many of my pics I’d like to have printed until now. Was fun looking back through old photos x
I would love to give the iPad to my mom and keep the printer for myself! This is such a lovely contest idea. π
Are you guys really going to look through all the photos? Cuz it’s only been a day and there’s already 20,000+ photos and I just was wondering if I had a chance since my photos would be at the very beginning…
Hi! Yep! We are going to look through all of them π -Jacki
I would LOVE to win this (obviously – wouldn’t everyone?!) My insta isn’t public, so to see my tagged pictures, you’ll need to follow me @debssss
thanks! I adore your blog so much. You guys are an inspiration for more than just design — also for being lady business owners, following your passion and monetizing it, giving back (I can’t wait to see what ya’ll do to the Habitat house), and everything in between.
Love,
Deb
FUN fun! Already loved going through my old photos looking for shots to tag. Cutest idea! π
Oh man! This is an incredible giveaway! Definitely would love to win and begin printing out come kick-butt ig photos.
Great contest and prizes! This will get me motivated to start Instgramming more.
Ahhh! I’m loving this giveaway! I’ve already looked through a lot of the photos with the #printmyinsta hashtag and there are so many awesome ones! Good luck trying to choose π
Thanks for sharing! And thanks for answering my question on Twitter. I’m so excited to start actually printing things again.
Hooray! I’m entered! π
So many people are loving this I don’t know how you will ever look through this many photos! LOL!!! π
Awsome!

What a great contest! I’m all the way from the Philippines and would love to know if the contest is open worldwide. I read the rules and it says that it is “unless otherwise stated.” Hope that rings through so I can start tagging!
How will you guys ever choose? There are like 35,000 pics lol! I entered and tagged my version of the creamy broccoli pasta you guys posted about recently. Can you find it? Awesome giveaway!
Wow ok so I just entered way too much but it was fun just going back and looking at all my old pics!
Fingers crossed π
