I did some work in my apartment and looks nice {to me } :-)

Bought 10 $ frames from Walmart 16X20, 5 $ a piece ready cut and assembled mat 16X20 with 11 X 14 opening at Hobby Lobby and printed my favorite photos on my new Canon I9900 printer (awesome quality).

Here how it looks :

Epson Paper does maks an 11 x 14 glossy size and it's for sale online at quite a few places. Might want to check out the Epson website for 'where in your area'. Good luck.

All the prints look really good :-)

For the top photos originally posted I'd say these shots are hung a bit too far apart for their size. Don't get me started on angled ones ;-)(again, I'm a bit neurotic about it).

Do those have glass mounted in front? All the frames I see at target and walmart never have a rabbet large enough to mount matte and glass.
No matter what has been said about its longevity, an inkjet print WILL start to fade (usually a certain color). Using glass in front of mounted pieces will significantly decrease gas fade and increase its life. (even though I have seen no change AT ALL in a 1.5 year old print on my fridge, exposed to southern light through a window, I printed off my i9100).

the problem is, nowhere has mats for pictures that are 8x12. I like 8x12. lol

Framing shops sometimes have pre-cut mats with 8x12 openings. You usually have to dig through a few to find them.

I started doing my own 8x12's. Can't find them AT ALL around me. Not to mention making frames, etc. to match my needs. All custom then. (C:

When I still shopped at Aaron Brothers I would go there to get mats with 8x12 openings. The store near me only had one bin of them though.

My bad, I thought they were nation-wide. Apparently they are only in 11 states. Closest to you would be Georgia. Sorry :(
