After going through souvenirs of a summer trip to Venice, this client decided that these bookmarks were just too beautiful to keep tucked away between pages. We think she is absolutely right! Look how great they look in this rich olive toned matting and black rustic frame. Now this bookmark art tells the story of a summer trip to Italy. Bellisima! . #venicebookmark #veniceart #bookmarkart #framewhatyoulove #frameyourmemories #stcatharines #stcatharinespictureframing #niagarapictureframing #niagararegion #grimsby #notl #niagarasmallbusiness

Sometimes a sentimental project comes along that just makes our day. This one did just that! This client was visiting his brother and in conversation they began reminiscing about the time their parents put them on a train from North Bay to Detroit to see a professional baseball game at the Detroit Stadium and visit family. For young boys ages 7 and 12 this was quite an adventure! To our client’s surprise, during this conversation, his brother opened his wallet and showed him the ticket from the game that he has held with him since 1955! Our client decided that as a special birthday gift for his brother he would have this ticket printed on a large canvas and framed. We love the vintage result and are so happy to be able to help with this surprise gift. . . #frameyourmemories #baseballgame #baseballticket #detroitstadium #stcatharinespictureframing #welland #niagarapictureframing #stcatharines #grimsby #notl #fonthill

The loss of a pet is often a difficult process to navigate. This client sensed that the road to healing would be through celebrating the memory of her husband’s special dogs Chase the Border Collie and Onyx the Siberian Husky. By shadowboxing their collars along with their photos they now have a cherished memory box of their dogs. Thank you Becky White-Côté for sharing some of your memories with us of these beautiful dogs. . . #lossofapet #lossofadog #weloveourpets #dogsofniagarafalls #niagarafallsdogs #niagarapets #dogsofniagara #stcatharines #notlpets #stcatharinesdogs #dogsofstcatharines

This was a fun project and a test for our organization skills. When our client approached us with dozens of photos that she had taken while on safari in Africa, she was overwhelmed and unsure of how to display them in an attractive manner. We helped her select her favourite photos from her library. After we chose the pair of lions in the tree as the focal point, the rest of the photos were selected by alternating between close ups and distant shots. They were then arranged in a photo collage format and printed on a large canvas to size 36 x48. The Framecraft black float frame finishes off the piece nicely. The result is a dramatic framed collage that commemorates the time her and her husband spent on safari. . . #africananimals #africanwildlife #africansafaris #africanphotography #africanphoto #vacationphotos #printyourphotos #printoncanvas #photosoncanvas #niagarabusiness #niagarabusinesses

We are all proud of our roots and the symbols of our heritage. This client was thrilled to have found this heirloom kilt that was made by her grandmother. The kilt is now at least 60 years old. She decided to frame it in a Framecraft shadowbox frame with black suede matting and red and yellow accent mattes. Now the special tartan will proudly display on her family wall and the memories of her grandmother will come to mind each time she admires the shadowbox. Search your homes for these family treasures. It’s worth the effort to custom frame them and show your friends and families your roots ! . . #shadowbox #familyheirlooms #family #scottishkilts #scottishkilt #scottishroots #shadowboxart #shadowboxframe #customframing #niagararegion #stcatharines #welland #grimsby #pelham #niagaraonthelake #stcatharinespictureframing #niagarapictureframing

Hey! We just realized it is one month until the Arkells perform at the Meridian_Centre in St. Catharines. This Arkells fan decided to celebrate his favourite band every day by framing an autographed poster and pin. We also personalized it with a gold engraving plate using our very own laser engraver. Looks great! Concert memorabilia makes impactful wall art....not to mention it makes you want to dance and sing every time you look at it ! . . . #arkells #arkellsmusic #thearkells #rallycrytour #arkellshamont #hamontmusic #bestliveband #MeridianCentre #canadianmusic #canadianband #stcatharines #niagara #thorold #grimsby #welland #niagararegion #niagara
