MrsCropper Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Good Morning, Purple Pals! I have a question about printing layouts. Do any of you print your 8x8 layouts for framing and if so, what size frame do you use? I want to print some of my favorites and hang them in my home but I am not sure how to go about it. Thanks!

April Showers Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I haven't printed 8x8 layouts for framing, but I know some people do. There was a thread several years ago that said where people found those frames. I'm sure it is obsolete now, but I think you could find some online.

April Showers Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 I think I should refresh my screen more often. Glad Bobbie had an answer for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkerbell11 Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Micheal's also has a 12 x 12 frame too so you can print 8 x 8 and add a pretty cardstock behind your layout and some hybrid items if you wish too since it is available in a shadowbox type frame too!

I haven't made it to Michael's yet but I was at Hobby Lobby today and they didn't have anything but 12 x 12. The card stock behind it is a great idea, thanks!

lindarobin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Another option is the standard 11x14 frame which gives you lots of style choices. The extra space around your 8x8 can be a simple matte or you can paper scrap it. I like to position my 8x8 a little closer to the top of the frame, and add something underneath (like some hand journaling or co-ordinating embellishment), to balance it out. Also, places like WalMart offer Plak-It which laminates your print onto thick particle board and you choose a trim color for the edge. Can be cheaper than framing, too!
