paper size question

[mommy07jana]

I have some layouts, and have seen many on here, that would be beautiful in print and hung on a wall. But getting custom 12X12, 8X8 frames would be expensive I would think. I know JCpenny has 5X5 and 10X10 frames in their photo studios, anyone know where you could get those sizes printed??

You could change your image size to 10x10, and increase your canvas size to 12x12. This would give you a 2 inch border all the way around that you could trim off. I have seen lots of threads here that talk about places people get their 12 x12 pages printed in the US. Sometimes its cheaper to stick with the standard sizes even if they are bigger than what you want. HTH

I have seen and bought both 8x8 and 12x12 frames for not too much money: no need to go with custom frames. Michaels carries both, and I have also seen them other places (including the dollar store).

12x12 frames are often sold as Album frames (please don't say you don't know what an album is!!! It held a "record". )

You could always start with an 8x10 canvas and re-size your templates and papers accordingly. I've done that to make a card or postcard for my grandchildren.

thanks for the replies! Why it never dawned on me to put it on a 12X12 print and crop it down! Also I need to try to find a michaels (or store like it) close by...nearest one is an hour from me! And, once you said "record" I was like "oh yay, THAT album" I'll try searching for that!!!!

I've bought 8x8 frames at Target. They also have 10x10. I've seen 12x12 cheap at Hobby Lobby.
