Huge news from Orlando! 📰

We are beyond excited to announce that our very own Jen has officially earned her Certified Picture Framer (CPF) designation! 🏅

Jen spent this past week at the WCAF Framing Expo in Orlando, Florida, where she completed her certification through the Professional Picture Framers Association (PPFA).

What does this mean for you? It means your cherished memories, fine art, and heirlooms are in the hands of recognized experts who are committed to the highest standards of preservation and craft.

We couldn’t be prouder of her dedication to the craft. Help us congratulate Jen in the comments! 👇✨

Complementary colors in action! 💜💛

We recently finished this custom display for a signed Katseye album, and the color palette is everything. To make the bold yellow vinyl and cover art “sing,” we designed a multi-layered matting in black and purple, wrapped in a silver-glimmer purple frame.

Pro Tip: When a frame starts reaching larger sizes, weight becomes a factor. We opted for Optimum Museum Acrylic to keep the piece light enough for safe hanging while providing anti-reflective clarity and 99% UV protection.

From the autographed photo to the inclusion of the “M.I.A.” lyric sleeve, every element of this fan-favorite era is now preserved and protected.
