12x12 matted frames...best place to purchase?

[dougscroggins]

<p>Hi all! Let me start as always by thanking all of you who take the time to assist me in finding an answer to my question. I have purchased Lumapix's Photoframe program and love building collages from my photo shoots. I have printed a few of the collages at 12x12 inches and would love to know where I can purchase nice matted frames to put them in. Money is a slight issue, in that I don't want to spend more than about $50 for one. (Less than that if I can get one of good quality) I am wondering where you guys look for such items. I have looked for 12x12 frames on the net but the results are all 12x12 and don't allow room for the matting. Should I be looking at purchasing the equipment to matt my own frames to save money in the long run? Again thanks in advance for any input.</p>

<p>Have you checked with any local framing shops? Also if there is a Hobby Lobby in your area they can help at a reasonable price . Remember Local puts money back into your town.</p>

<p>Also try Jerry's Artorama (.com, I think). I just bought a Logan mat cutter and a bunch of other stuff. The mat cutter was about half of everyone else's price, and I noticed they have one of the biggest framing selections I've seen online. Mats, prebuilts, etc., all at really good prices.</p>

<p>I've been very happy with Frame Destination. I'm sure they have premade sizes for 12x12 artwork. If not, or if you don't like the premade sizes, you can get a custom size - it only costs another $2 for the mat cutting setup fee.</p>

<p>Have you tried the 12x12 white picture art to frames? These are the best frames that I purchased till now. I think you should go for the 12 x 12 white picture frames instead of 12x12 matted frames. <br>

Here are the source URLs from where you can purchase these awesome frames:<br>
