Shutters pictures.....odd size!

[1princessesmom]

I guess I did not realize that the photos I bought on our recent cruise (from Shutters) were not 5 x 7s. I tried to frame one today in a 5 x 7 frame and it is too big! Bummer! THey are more like 6 x 8. Anybody know where to get a frame that size? Any other ideas for framing?! I'm so disappointed!

You can get them on the ship I know, we did the same thing. Ended up having to go back on DCL to get the right sized frame. We searched all places around us--JoAnn's, Michaels, Garden Ridge, Target, Wal*mart, etc etc--and came up empty handed. I have seen posts where someone was lucky enough to have come across a 6x8 frame.

You could have a custom frame created with a back that allows easy changing of pictures---I have one for some cross stitch pieces that change month to month and it's a lot easier to work than prying those darn staples open.

I haven't actually tried to find any frames myself, but I know this topic was posted here before, and if I remember right there were some people who were able to find frames of that size at Michael's and maybe even Kohls. I think there were also some who used a mat to make it fit in a larger frame. I know it's not much help, but hopefully it will get you pointed in the right direction.
BTW, the frames that they sell on the ship are the same size, I believe. (Just in case you know anyone who's going that might be able to pick up one for you.)

I found 6 x 8 frames at Michael's. I also found a great multi-picture frame that had three 6x8 slots and I was able to use three of my pictures from Shutters and four or five pictures we had taken ourselves.

You can also cut your picture down to the size you need for the frame. I know it's tough to do.

Kohl's has them.

I saw them at Wal-Mart for $1 each and they were nice looking wood frames.

Kohl's near me does not carry them right now. They may carry them at some times, but not right now. I did find the glass "floating frame" type that accomodates a few sizes.

Good luck!

I think it was Ritz.com that I saw them for about $8 each. I have thought about going to Micheal's and having a mat for an 8x10 cut with a 6 x8 hole. We'll see.... a karate mom is going to be on the Wonder on Thursday! If she remembers to get me an album, then I won't need frames! Good luck!

Get an 8x10 frame..have a 8X10 mat cut with a 6X8 opening. Won't cost hardly anything. Hobby Lobby's can do it. Any craft store that cuts matting.

I wouldn't pay for custom framing. It can get expensive pretty quickly. Mat's are the easier/cheaper way to go. Now that said..choosing the mat color..a whole nother monster

Yeah, that's a common photo size for cruise ship photographers. Michael's here stocks the frames.
