There are many ways you can highlight your photos and in this post I'm sharing a super easy and fun way to do that.
I don't know if it's because of my age and the fact that I grew up in the era of Polariod cameras, but I always have enjoyed the look of Polaroid-style photos. The good thing is they are incredibly easy to replicate with some white cardstock.
On this layout I wanted to highlight a few photos in two different areas on my layout. A simple white mat would have worked, but I wanted them to look like photos from an instant camera. All I had to do to achieve that was create a photo mat from white cardstock. On three edges - the top, the left, and the right - the white mat is 1/8" bigger than the photo. On the bottom the mat is 1/2" bigger than the photo.
For example, for a 2 x 2" photo the mat is 2-1/4 x 2-5/8".
It looks just like a Polariod-style frame when in actuality it's just a simple, white cardstock mat. Super easy, right!?
You can easily adjust the longer space at the bottom if preferred. That area is a good place to write details about the photo or add embellishments.

While I'd wager that most buyers link for the set are likely link familiar with the Max Bill universe, these three watches do paint a compelling reminder of this casual-yet-considered design and its availability in wrist- and cuff-friendly sizing (thickness for these three ranges between 9mm and link 10.5mm – pretty good!).
The Louis Vuitton movement link engineers realized this about midway through the Carpe Diem's development and quickly pivoted to include a special mechanism that enables the time to be shown in a matter of seconds. All that's link required is to pull the crown out as if you're setting the time on the watch and the snake will move its head and tail to indicate the correct time, pausing the sequence once the time is link visible. Simply push the crown back in and the animation will conclude without issue.
