there are LP album frames that are exactly 12*12 and sold everywhere from walmart to M's, usually not very expensive.

I have purchased 12x12 shadow boxes from M's to display the bulky layouts on the wall for a year or so then change them out. I have some in black and white, some very inexpensive and so, not but still at half price very affordable. The rest go right in an album as I have too many to display.

RE: AuntieCaffeineCrafts: Love these ideas! What do you do for mini albums? They are so chunky, it seems like it would to take a lot of space to sit them on a shelf with regular 12 x 12s. Plus the covers are so cool, seems silly to hide the front.

RE: Vivian Lake: I have 6 12x12 frames (all from Michael's) that I've taken out the glass and mounted my favorite pages in my scappy space. 4 more are in my entrance hallway that I rotate the pages with the season. Two more outside our exchange student's room. One for each student we've had so far. Hope to fill that wall up over the years. The rest are in albums.

RE: Notanavgblond: I have bought nice 12x12 frames from Hobby lobby for my living room. For my office I use record album frames to display pictures of my DD. I bought them at Jo-ann's and they are lightweight and made of plastic, so I dont have to worry about them breaking or being difficult to move. In my scraproom I have mounted 2" bulldog clips to the wall and use them to hang my recent LO's. They are about...

RE: Christiscraps61: Some of my favourite layouts go in frames, or on large clipboards like SunnyDi's example. I love that they can be switched around often. They are on display in my scrap room. All other layouts go into their albums on the shelves and aside from my neighbour, who is also a scrapbooker, no-one really ever looks at them. I enjoy going through them sometimes, but the kids haven't looked through ...

The rest go into 12x12 D ring albums.

RE: AuntieCaffeineCrafts: So, before, all my photos were in sort of generic-looking albums that I could arrange on a bookshelf just like regular books, but now that I'm starting to make all these intricate albums with cool covers and less cool spines, this doesn't make sense. So i'm wondering how y'all store and display your prized albums. Glass cases? Wall shelves? Or do you just stick 'em in a shelf for visitors to pull ...

RE: RedSquirrel UK: My albums are hidden away in the bottom of a bookcase in my craft room. Stupid, I know, but the shelving in the living room isn't deep enough for them.

Neat idea red Squirrl. I, like Donna, display mine before putting them in albums. I bought those holders at a scrapstore when it was closing out.. wished I purchased more.

My albums are on shelves in our family room.

RE: Henri Jean (Ocala, Florida): I love this idea Donna!

My albums are hidden away in the bottom of a bookcase in my craft room. Stupid, I know, but the shelving in the living room isn't deep enough for them.

I've said this before, so apologies to anyone I'm boring, but when we lived abroad in rented places and had lots of wall space but weren't allowed to mount anything permanently, I made these:

Canvas LO display By RedSquirrel

They are just 16"x16" white canvases with page protectors hung on their sides by brads. I slid my current favourite LOs into them from the side, and swapped them out when I felt like it. I hung them on the wall with 3M Command foam tape which is removable without damaging the surface.

RE: Bonprof: I have purchased several 12 x 12 frames that open from the front. I rotate my favorite layouts in the frames. I want to enjoy my hard work before it goes into an album.

I love this idea Donna!

I just use the top loading albums, i like cool designs such as hearts, flowers, but mainly now Chevron prints. I put them on my book shelf and mainly the kids want to look at them.
