We are excited and proud to introduce our newest matting designs! Photo Word Mats. Photo Words mats are exactly what they sound like: mats with words cut into them. The letters form the windows to display photographs.

Have you been on vacation to Tahoe, Monterey, Yosemite or Hawaii and taken some beautiful family pictures you'd like to display to remember your trip? Have you received several new photos of grandchildren and want a special way to show them off? Has a special event or holiday recently happened that you want to keep alive with photos in a very unique way? Come in and let us help you pick out a Photo Word Mat to commemorate any of your special photos!

Creating unique frame designs for multiple photographs is our specialty. Whether you've been on vacation, had a special occasion, or went into Grandma's attic, we will help you capture these moments in a beautiful frame design that will fit any home or office decor.

Photographs, memorabilia, and artwork often feature themes. We can style a great design using wonderful mats and interesting shapes for openings. Multi-level mats can add depth and dimension to your photographs. Mats of various textures and colors can also make the overall presentation pop out. Designs can be also drawn on the mats with lovely inks to give a one-of-a-kind look to your special memories.

Vacation photographs of your trip to the Grand Canyon might lend themselves to a sand-colored mat, for example, outlined in a brown mat with a beige mat underneath. Adding levels to a mat design can accent the different colors in your photos.

Photographs can be combined with other items to remind you of a special event or provide a home for a valuable collection. Highlighting your favorite baseball cards with a pennant accentuates the team's colors and adds color to the walls they are displayed on.

Medals and ribbons with a photo make a winning combination. contrasting the ribbon colors and those in the photograph with different mat colors and textures offers an outstanding visual mixture. Is there a medal in an odd shape that would be a great focal point for your child's all-star photo and team picture? We can design a mat that makes you feel as if you can reach out and touch the award.

What about those multi-generational photographs from your attic? Think about arranging them chronologically or in different sizes with several layers of mats. Ordinary photographs are brought to life with this creative matting technique.

Our goal is make your memories last a lifetime, and framing for special occasions is our specialty. Stop by with your photographs, awards, and memories, and we will create a one-of-a-kind design just for you.

You know that feeling you get when you take photographs of special people or places? And how quickly you want to get them developed so you can be reminded of that feeling? And then, of course, most of us want to display our favorite photos in our home or office. We enhance and protect the images by framing them. And while you can buy the ready made frames in many stores, it's really no comparison to custom framing your favorite photos in a way you are proud to display prominently.

Snapshots are transformed into works of art when custom framed. Bring in you favorite photos and we'll help you choose the materials to create a great look.

It's fun to design your own framed photo! Whatever your taste, we have frames, matboards and many other materials in a variety of styles and colors. The result will be a framed photo that you'll love to look at and display.

Also, black and white photographs have gained popularity for everything from wedding to candid shots. Their classic appearance appeals to the simple, elegant style appreciated by so many these days. You can really get creative when framing these photos, adding color and texture.

Speaking of black and white photos, don't forget about older, vintage photos you may have. By framing them with preservation materials, we can ensure that these photos will look wonderful for years to come. These black and white photos can be a window to the past - framing them just how you like will emphasize their place in your life.
