ScrapgirlCindy Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I have tons of my LOs printed and they just sit in my scrapbooks collecting dust. I wondered if anyone has ever displayed them and how did you do that? I have a blank wall in my home office, for example, and would like to use that to display them but not sure how to go about it. Or is there a better way. I am not handy as far as hanging pictures straight so I need simple ideas. I do have about 6 frames 12 x 12's with SB pages in them and would like to get them up and on the walls. Thanks ladies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Frames is what I was going to suggest. It's easy because you can pull out layouts you have printed and change them often, and when not in the frame you can add back to your scrapbook. I too am horrible at hanging straight, that's why I don't even attempt. What about a wall collage? You could mix your 12x12 frames with maybe some smaller frames with photos in it, then maybe a few signs mixed in. The great thing about the collage is it not being perfectly straight is actually "perfect" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieLee Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I know this sounds crazy, but I started making junk journals and using the LOs that I made of my grandkids and putting them into the book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marie-Christine Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I sometimes/alotofsometimes use pinterest, if you type in your search field displaying photos your screen will fill up with oh so many ways! Great way of getting some ideas together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MariJ Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 If you have a few you really like, most photo places will make canvases out of photos/layouts and they come out really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRS Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I am the Queen of Crooked Frames!! I know we talked about this a long time ago, and Michael's may not have them any more, but some people bought stands to display their layouts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelle Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 This doesn’t help with the printed layouts, but I have two digital frames that scroll through all of my layouts. I have one at work, and a larger one displayed prominently at home. I periodically catch my family studying a layout here and there as they pass by the frame. My printed LOs are like yours, though, in albums on a shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenrou Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I also use a digital frame, and enjoy seeing them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosemarythyme Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 There is a tool called Hang & Level that you can use - I haven't had much luck with it cause it's hard for me to hold it and the frame at the same time. I have also used paper cut to the size of the frame to arrange galley walls. BUT a small level is priceless and that's what I keep handy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsendi Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I'm interested in a few of the suggestions that mentioned a digital frame...do they make digital frames that would show 8x8 or 10x10 or 12x12 LOs? If not how do you size them to fit in a standard size digital frame? Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know my parents have one they have photos on. With theirs if the photo doesn't fit the size of the frame it basically centers it on a black background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsendi Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 So you think it would center a square Layout on a black background that has a 4:3 ratio? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsendi Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I was afraid they'd try to stretch it to have that ratio in order to fit the whole screen display. If it would just get centered that would be ok I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to go to the website for the brands and see what they say specifically about each one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terriscrapper Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I've been wondering the same thing...I just tried Fracture, printing on glass...although I think they used a small film and attached it to back of glass....I had it printed in 11x11. If anyone is interested, contact me. I tried taking a photo but it reflected the overhead light. Obviously that's not in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsendi Posted May 3, 2018 Share Posted May 3, 2018 I took your advice, Angie, and contacted Nexplay. I think that will work out well. Thanks for the suggestion. Christine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsendi Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just wanted to give an update on what I decided to do to display my layouts...I bought a 15 inch Nixplay Original digital frame and loaded my layouts on a USB flash drive to run my layouts. They display beautifully and now I can enjoy them while sitting in my family room. I just set it to "fit screen" and enjoy the show. My concern was that they wouldn't display nicely because they are square shaped layouts but that has proven to not be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
