Resources on How to Frame Photos
On each page of photos (linked to at left), the drop-down menu under each preview photo shows the available sizes and prices. The sizes are standard US photo sizes, so that pre-made mats and frames will be available in many different stores. These photos are ideal for matting and framing. Visit art and photography stores such as Michaels and Hobby Lobby, to mention just two such stores, for pre-cut matting and frames in different sizes.
For directions on how to attach photos you have purchased to a mat and install in a frame, take a look at one or more of the web sites below.
