Everyone has a favorite sports team. Sometimes there's memorabilia just waiting to be framed for your office or home. Perhaps you have a baseball card collection from way back when. Or a collection of mini-football helmets. Or a sports jersey. Anything and everything to remind you of your team or a special event, is the perfect material for a sports shadowbox. We can customize you memories and match any decor.
Football Uniform and Team Photo
There are many ways to frame sports memorabilia. It's always interesting to have photos, medal, patches, emblems and other related items all together in a creative frame design. Simple collections can become a beautiful focal point of a room when the right mats and moulding are chosen. As with any design, mats can offer a multitude of possibilities. We can use different shapes and even cut the name of the team into the mat for an extra effect. Any sport from baseball to basketball, from tennis to lacrosse, from soapbox derbies to soccer and swimming can be commemorated in a custom made shadowbox design.
First Hole-In-One
So come on in with those ticket stubs, programs and banners. Or your child's soccer jersey from the winning season. Whether it's professional or pee-wee, sports items are lots of fun to frame and have bragging rights to! We will create the perfect home for your treasured memories of exciting sporting events!

When framing a piece of art on canvas, take a look at a float frame for a different effect. Most mouldings have a lip to hold the art in the frame, but floats have shelf-like ledges at the back to support it. A float frame is especially important when framing gallery wraps or other canvases when art is painted near the outer edges. Most float frames are minimal in design, providing a simple edge to contain the artwork. Other float frames are wider and offer interesting shapes.
Float frames can stand alone or be used in conjunction with other mouldings, or liners. These frames mostly house contemporary art. However, more conventional pieces can be placed in a float frame with traditional moulding around it to create a more classic look.
Float frames can combine with other mouldings for a variety of width, texture and color. Mixing styles and color adds interest and creativity to any framing project, including mirrors. Float frames can also be used to create a shadowbox effect by recessing one frame behind another. Stop by and explore the design possibilities of a custom-made float frame.
