Fun & Games
Capture fun memories by framing a board game!
We all treasure the special moments spent with family—those simple times when everyone comes together to share laughter, creativity, and connection. Maybe you recently enjoyed working on a puzzle as a family project, had a lively board game night, dealt out a few hands of cards, or tossed a Frisbee around in the backyard. These kinds of activities create lasting memories worth celebrating.
Did you know that you can preserve those memories in a beautiful and meaningful way? Puzzles, board games, playing cards, and even individual game pieces can be framed! Their vibrant designs and flat shapes make them perfect for display. Framing a beloved game or a completed puzzle is a wonderful way to turn a fun moment into lasting wall art—a keepsake that tells a story every time you see it.
Jigsaw Puzzles
Board Games
Don’t let anyone forget that you won the epic 4-day Monopoly game by owning Indiana Ave! You can even include game pieces, cards, and money.
You did it! You finally finished that 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle you’ve been meaning to do for years. Such an effort needs to be rewarded. Frame it! (That way you won’t need to put it together again…)
Vintage Games
Look what you found while you were cleaning closets! An old game you used to play with your siblings. It’s a little worn now to be played, so bring the fun back by framing it. Copy the rules and put it on the back or in a pocket on the back.
Did You Know?
In Monopoly, Jake the Jailbird is the guy behind bars and Officer Edgar Mallory sent him there.
Chutes & Ladders, a game about Karma, was invented in India in the 2nd century. It was originally called Snakes & Ladders. The phrase "back to square one" originated in the game.
The game of Clue was invented in 1947. Mr. Green was originally a reverend, but Parker Brothers objected to a reverend being suspected of murder, so he was changed to a businessman.
The Game of Life was the first and only board game invented by Milton Bradley in 1860, although he single-handedly launched the board game industry. Because using dice was associated with gambling, a 6-sided top was used instead.
OUTDOOR GAMES & LASTING MEMORIES
Lucky you – it was warm enough to get outside and throw the Frisbee around. You had a blast spending time with friends and enjoying the fresh air! Want to capture the memory? Grab a permanent marker and write something special on the Frisbee to commemorate the day. Have everyone sign it, and don’t forget to add the date.
GLASS OR ACRYLIC?
Sometimes framing a board game or puzzle can get large. Because of the size, it also can get heavy if you use glass to protect it. Consider using acrylic instead. It is lightweight and non-breakable under most circumstances. Be sure to use an acrylic with UV protection so the puzzle or game board won’t fade.
