Framing great sports memories

Framing sports memorabilia is the perfect way to relive game-winning moments

Sporting events, star athletes, and our favorite sports teams are important parts of our lives and represent so many amazing moments. Over the years, we collect all kinds of sports memorabilia like pictures, ticket stubs, articles, game programs, and jerseys — these items remind us of the great game-winning memories and talented team players who have added so much to our lives.

Do You Remember?

The baseball game when your favorite player hit the home run that won the game? What happened to all the pictures you took?
How about the baseball cards you had when you were a kid (if your mom didn’t throw them away while you were at college…)?
Where is your prized autographed jersey? You waited for two hours to have it signed by the future Hall of Famer.
Can you forget the look on your child’s face when they won the little league MVP award? Or the glory and accolades after you won the championship game in high school?
Remember the fishing trip reunion with your buddies? Where did that photograph go?

You’ve got boxes and boxes of sports memorabilia, probably stored under the bed or in a closet behind the hats that you never wear. Not only have you forgotten the memories that brought such joy, but your items are unprotected from the ravages of time. That’s no way to enjoy them!

Bring that feeling back by framing these items so that you can look at them every day. Not only are you creating a conversation piece, you’re also passing those memories along — some of them historical. And the bonus? Now they are protected from the elements that can age them.

Father’s Day is almost here — framed sports memories make a great gift!

Show Dad how much you appreciate your memories together by framing his:

Jerseys
Tickets
Photos
Autographs
Scorecards
Sports Equipment
Varsity Letters
Medals & Awards

CPF On Staff

What is a CPF? It stands for Certified Picture Framer, an industry designation for framing knowledge and skill. When a CPF builds your project, it is in the best hands. Your valuables will be handled with the highest level of professional care during the framing process. We are proud to have Claudine as our CPF on staff.

Conservation Grade Materials

We want your art and heirlooms to survive for a lifetime without change of color, damage from glues, or out- gassing from materials that are not acid-free. Our framers use the very best materials for your projects.

Happy New Year!

Dec 27, 2017 | Picture Framing

We’ve had quite a year here at the Frame Depot. It started with our owner, Claudine breaking her leg skiing in January. After that the first three or so months were a blur as we dealt with having one less person as a framer. This summer brought us one of our busiest ever which was exciting. Fall came with a new look for our building outside and a lot more framing and we ended with another wonderful Christmas season. We are so blessed to have such great customers and we enjoy meeting new ones every day. We have framed some unique items this year; the bark from a tree, a height chart on drywall, and numerous rugs come to mind. We even had the pleasure of cheering on Jan as she competed in a National Framing Competition in January at the West Coast Art and Frame Show.

So Cheers to 2017, we hope 2018 brings you lots of love, fun and prosperity.

Yes, we can even frame a tree!

Recently, Jan had a customer who had a piece of bark from a tree they had on their property and wanted preserved. They had carved names in it years ago and discovered that it had fallen over so they carefully removed the section with the names and brought it to us. That’s when Jan did her magic.

She started by carving a piece of foam to be the support behind it.

Then she covered the foam in fabric

Next she attached the bark to the foam and the bark to the backing

We used a 9″ deep barnwood frame to hold it.

It turned out beautifully, and we helped a family save a special memory.

Gallery moments

Nov 22, 2017 | Picture Framing

Gallery moments are those moments that happen in your daily life, so you whip out your phone to take a photo and then later you keep going back to that photo. Don’t keep those moments in your phone! Get them on your wall. It’s easy, just bring us your phone and let us show you the possibilities of printing your photos on metal or acrylic. It’s a clean, crisp modern look that will add a special touch to your walls. We can frame them, or leave them unframed, the choice is up to you. These take a week to print and deliver and we can even ship them to you, or someone you are giving a gift to at no additional charge.

Ta Da!

Our building was in need of a paint job and we think the final product is even better than expected. Thanks to the guys at Integrity Painting our mural now stands out, even more than it did before.
