So of course, we want to give you the best gift we know, a way to preserve and cherish your holiday memories!

Guess what? Aluminyze is excited to be taking part in a VERY cool Gift Bag for some of Hollywood’s A-List celebrities! Aluminyzed photos will be included in Distintive Asset’s 2012 HollyWOOF Gift Bag! Read the press release below for all the details! 

Hollywood’s Top Dogs Receiving Aluminyzed Photos of Their Favorite Pooches in the 2012 HollyWOOF Gift Bag

Los Angeles, CA –  Aluminyze, the brilliant new way to see and display your photos, is taking part in HollyWOOF 2012; the gift bag from Distinctive Assets, the premier celebrity gifting firm. The HollyWOOF bags are jam-packed full of the best, most inspired new pet products on the market today and will be given to some of Hollywood’s biggest celebrity dog owners, Tori Spelling, Alicia Silverstone, Miley Cyrus, Drew Barrymore, Gloria Estefan, Oprah Winfrey, Kathy Griffin, Katherine Heigl, Jennifer Aniston, Fergie, Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake, Chelsea Handler and more. Celebrities will be receiving an 11x14 Aluminyzed photo of their beloved pooch!

Aluminyze infuses your image right into the body of a lightweight but solid sheet of aluminum. The aluminum takes the place of the paper on a traditional photo making them much more durable, long-lasting plus it protects and keeps them from tearing and safe from water damage. Vibrant colors illuminate every detail adding depth and dimension to an otherwise flat surface.

Aluminyzed photos require no framing for a sophisticated look on walls, tables and hallways or anywhere you want to make an impression. Not only do the Aluminyzed photos last more than twice as long as paper photos, but they are also water and weather proof.

Aluminyzed photos are available in a variety of sizes and offers choices for both the surface and finish of your photo. Please visit http://aluminyze.com/ to learn more.

Most of us have photographs that mean the world to us. Pictures of our family, our children, our pets and places we’ve been and love. Some of the most treasured photographs we may have displayed on our wall are ones that were taken years before we were born.

Old family photographs tell the story of where we came from, who we are, and how we ended up where we are today. Pictures of immigrant family members who tell the tale of how our family came to the United States in the first place. Or long ago wedding photos of our great-grandparents tell the first chapter in the long story of how we came to be.

We here at Aluminyze wanted to share a letter we received from our friends at Land & Sea Imagery. Visit their website and check out the gorgeous photo galleries! Their photos are for sale and guess what? Land & Sea Imagery is now Aluminyzing their already stunning photos to offer some of the most gorgeous prints you could imagine having displayed in your home or office.

Here is the letter we received:

An open letter to The Aluminyze Group,

I just wanted to commend you for the quality product that you produce and give you a little insight as to how printing on aluminum has made a difference in how my work is now received.

Over the years, I’ve used some of this area’s top professional photo labs for my paper processingand printing. About 6 months ago, a good friend and professional photographer suggested that I consider having one of my images “Aluminyzed”. I have to admit, in all my years, and all the various paper and other non-traditional photo processes I’ve tried, yours is, by far, the most amazing and exceptional process I’ve seen.

Personally, I’m impressed with the dynamic tonal range and detail that your process maintains by printing on aluminum. After having several images produced to show clients the ‘phenomenal’ quality of an Aluminyzed photo over the traditional paper and canvas prints, few if any, are now opting for anything other than aluminum! Without exception, the most common thing I hear when someone sees one of these Aluminyzed photos the first time is “WOW”.

I’ve also noticed a spike in traffic on my website ‘Land and Sea Imagery’ now that I’m offering my images on aluminum. I’m also receiving great feedback on my ‘Land andSea Imagery’ Facebook page as well.

Again, I want to thank you for the quality and excellence of your product and services.

Fred Holmstock

North Palm Beach, Fl

Be sure and visit Land & Sea Imagery on the web and on Facebook and see for yourself the amazing results. 

One of the best parts of the great community we’ve developed on the Aluminyze Facebook page is having the community share their picture perfect life moments with us on the page. They are always so much fun to look though.  It really does mean a lot when you share your moments with us. Which is why for this week’s contest, we are going to say THANK YOU.

We have pulled the names of everyone who has entered one of our contests (with the exception of past winners) and for the next week will be choosing a random name each day through Monday April 2^nd! Each day the winner will win a free 8x10 Aluminyzed print as a Thank You for being an active part of our community.

If you have won (or purchased) an Aluminyzed print we’d love you to either post a picture of it on your Facebook page and tag Aluminyze OR visit our reaction page on Facebook and tell people what you think of your Aluminyzed print.
