How do you display your finished pages? I would like to display my pages for a little while, before placing them in an album. 12x12 primarily and I have the Recollections table top stand that was popular for a while, but rather have something on the wall not taking up desk space.

I have a Creative Memories frame that is about 14" x 14". It has fabric covering metal inside the frame. It holds the layout with magnets, those tiny, really powerful ones. I think you could make something similar pretty easily. This is the one: link |

That frame sounds awesome! I will have to check into that. Wonder if they have one big enough for a 2 pager?
I sometimes put my finished page in a page protector sideways, and then hang on the fridge.
And my calendar pages go into protectors that hang on a decorative stand for display.

The frame looks interesting, but I have a small craft room and think something else on the walls would just look cluttered. Mine go straight in an album.

I was given a shadow box with a padded fabric background. It came with pins. I put a couple of homemade cards in it that have special meaning and haven't changed them out. This would only work if you were okay with putting pin holes in your layouts.

I have the CM frame also. I display a page until the next one is made to replace it. DH likes looking at the new things I've made, and he'll comment on them, which is very sweet.

I have three 12x12 frames that I got from Ms years ago and have 3 layouts in them and hung on the wall. I change them up periodically but usually the ones that make it in the frames are the ones that I absolutely love and can't bear to take them down. In fact in the 5+ years that I've had them, I think I may have only changed them once! Maybe I should consider changing them again now... I have also seen some people hang a rod on the wall and use clips to hang their layouts from. Its a really cute idea but my craft room is in the basement where the ceilings are very high and it was easier for me to stagger my 3 frames on the wall rather than hang a rod.

I use the Ikea Bygel rails and hooks and hang pages in page protectors until I'm ready to put them away. 2 fit on each rail.

In my dining room, which is a pass through from the front to the back of the house, I have an upright piano. I'll display my completed layouts on the ledge of the piano for a while before they go into albums.

I have the recollections stand also. Although I haven't gotten anything else up in this "old house" yet. Upon the finishing up of the refurbishing, I will place something up in my craft room (it use to be a retractable clothes line) that I can clip labouts in their page protectors up to view. And I have several frames that hold 12x12 and 1 frame that is 8.5x11. These all are front opening with magnetic closure for easy change out of layouts. I LOVE them. These frames will probably go in the hall way, in the old house they were in the family room. I also have a couple of 12x12 frames that are back opening and so they get changed infrequently. Not sure where they'll go. But seeing my layouts before they go to live in the albums makes me extremely happy. I use to start them on the clothes line, then move my favorites to the frames. The recollection stand was bought after we moved here just to be able to have some layouts out now.

I have a piece of 1x2 board that is about 3 ft. long hung on my wall. It's painted aqua and has three wide metal clips (alligator office clips?) permanently attached to it.
Found it at a garage sale. Works great for temporary layout display.
You could make something fancier with a decorative molding or more rustic with a piece of barn wood.

I have these same frames from Michael's but I bought 8 of them. I have six on one wall, and then 2 on another. I have a big scraproom that is half of a finished basement. Yes, I count my lucky stars every day  I also don't change mine out very often, but I probably should too. I'm glad I bought them when I did and from what I remember they weren't very expensive.

I have a 7 gypsies table top easel that I have on our dining room table. New layouts go there for browsing before they go in the albums....

Thank you for reminding me! I have a cheapo black wrought iron looking little stand that I picked up at the dollar store. I usually have my most recent page displayed on it. I took it down last year  when the house was in chaos due to the kitchen upgrade and forgot to put it back up. Off to go find it . . . |
