Default Multi-Item Picture Framing

My wife just attended a concert that's been on her bucket list, and got some pretty nice swag from it. I'd like to frame it for her for Christmas.


It's 3 flat paper items, but all three are different sizes. Anyone got any recc's for a shop that does this kind of work, and does it well?

Basically any framing place can handle that. You're deciding based on the artistic style of the framer. I have had good experience with Framed on 5th recently.

I had some prints from some favourite golf courses framed for my office last year. It was expensive. Around $200 each. Looks great but be prepared to spend if you want an upgraded look.

I cant reccomend anywhere in Calgary, but I had a print that was an odd shape. Took it to a local camera/framing shop. Paid for a new frame with matting, and they cut the matting to properly fit the picture. It was like $5 or something.

I'd walk into your local framing shop and ask.

Michaels will do custom framing as well, I've had one frame made from there and it was fine for the price.

For 3 difference sized pieces under the same piece of glass I would bet it will be a good deal more expensive than a single piece. I would be surprised if it's under $300.

When my father in law passed away many years ago we had his service picture and badge from when he served on the Bowness Police Force.

I used Avenida Framing and they did an amazing Job.

They are part of Webster Galleries now I guess.

You could also buy three frames and hang them side by side, for a less complicated alternative. Or you can arrange them in a triangle and hang them from a ceiling fan for a more active display.

Costco used to do this and it's too bad because they were way cheaper than others and did a good job but they eliminated this when they got rid of the photo centers

Uh, there is a number you can call for questions like this. It starts 91 but I can't remember the last number.

Funny thing, that...you don't need that last number. If you just press 9 and 1, then wait...you'll still get 'that number'. ;P

So the whole trope of dialling 9-1 and then hovering over the one will get you the dispatch? Good to know!
