Please keep in mind that while yes you can get great deals on printing that you make sure that you are not asking the photo shops to print ANYTHING that is copyrighted as they will NOT do it. Before you save a whole bunch of pictures you may want to take in one or two and see if they are eligible for printing.

I was advised by Walmart that they face fines of $10K per image they print for copyright infringement. I spoke with the manager there and she said that unless you can prove...

If you don't want to invest in a quality printer and ink, Costco has great prices on photo printing (I developed over 800 pics from my last WDW trip there!) - I think it's $0.17 per 4x6 print. And I don't think that 8x10s are much more than $1 each. If you aren't going to completely blanket your walls with these frames, that may be a good way to get started. And any pic that you save can be printed as a photo (as far as I know) - it doesn't have to be taken with your...

Our local Michaels craft store also sell metal pin backs!

thanks for the tips... really great stuff.

I have seen bags of metal pin-backs for sale at stores that do promotional sales. We have a local company that does athletic lettering, pens, tablets, buttons, pins... stuff for promotional give aways. Because they sell pins, you can sometimes buy bags of the metal backers.

I have actually just made a practice of saving them from different pins they came on. I have also asked other Dizpins members to send them to me. When I trade for pins I often ask that the other person send me the pin with a metal back if possible!

where can you get the metal pinbacks?

One thing I'm having trouble with is getting the pins to stay in place when they are heavier pins. I'm using the metal backs, but they still move some after I get everything done, then I have to open it all back up and reposition them! How do you keep them in place?

When I pin the pins through the background I use the carboard backing that comes with most frames behind the photo. This stiffness is just enough to keep the pins from moving. You can also use...

For the google search go into Language Tools at the bottom or advanced search and make sure your language filters are for all sites.

My printer is a HP photosmart 8150. It is an older photo printer. I am not sure of the exact specs but that is the model.

What size photo backgrounds do you print out - are they 4x6?

I use all different size prints because the sizes of my frames vary. The princesses & Ratatoullie are on a 5x7 prints. The Mad Hatter & Jiminy and Timon & Pumbaa (other posts) are 3.5x5. Alot of my frames early on were 4x6 but I have had a hard time finding mats that size at my getting places. I always...

Your instructions are great!! However, I think that the main thing that makes your frames so special is you. You have a wonderful eye to match things up. See I would have looked at that Chip & Dale background and put Chip & Dale there and Bambi looks so wonderful and fits! So my friend, can you be bottled?? LOL

i was wondering when you buy your frames, do you already know what you have in mind as far as a frame's looks before you buy it? Or do you buy a frame and then compare to different pins that could be housed in it?

When I go to the thrift shops looking for frames I buy whatever they have that is in good to new condition. If I don't it may not be there next time. I have...

The Bambi frame and the Christmas frame are both done as 4x11 panoramics to keep the entire image in the print. When you are in your print screen options you should be able to select the exact layout, size & color you want for you image.

Hi Shell,

thanks for schooling us on how to create spectacular frame displays. I am just curious, is the background you printed out for the Bambi frame panoramic or regular 8X10 print?

thanks again for all your help.

The biggest image I have used was a full 8.5 x 11. That is the Halloween one that is in my gallery. I have done all sizes and found that you need to make always make sure what size your print settings did last each time! Otherwise you are going to get whatever the last size specified was. As far as the pink color goes... I am at a loss. My printer prints it exactly as it appearson the screen. Hope that helped a little!

Hi guys! Lots of you have asked different framing questions which is great! I decided to post a step by step frame project for an example!

Here are a few guidelines that I always use.

1. Let the frame pick the background.

2. Let the background pick the pin(s).

3. Never be afraid to use something from your traders to compliment the framing as a whole.

Now, here we go...

Find your frame. I pick up nice frames when ever I see them and hold onto them...
